Single-Tube Multimarker Assay Estimates Preeclampsia Risk
The challenge in the clinical practice of pregnancy monitoring is to distinguish isolated gestational hypertension or proteinuria from the development of preeclampsia (PE) with potential severe consequences to the mother and unborn child. More...03 Dec 2020


Incretin Hormone Levels Linked to Arteriosclerosis
While existing evidence supports beneficial cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), emerging studies suggest that glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and/or signaling via the GIP receptor may have untoward cardiovascular effects. More...30 Nov 2020



Biomarkers Predict Whether RA Patients Will Respond to DMARDs
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by unremitting joint inflammation that results in bone and cartilage destruction and a decreased quality of life. RA may arise from a decreased ability of the host immune response to engage resolution programmes that prevent the precipitation of acute inflammation into chronicity. More...19 Nov 2020

Breath Ammonia Biomarker Predicts Kidney Function in CKD Patients
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of kidney disease in which there is gradual loss of kidney function over a period of months to years. Initially there are generally no symptoms; later, symptoms may include leg swelling, feeling tired, vomiting, loss of appetite, and confusion. More...18 Nov 2020
