NMR-Based Method Measures Circulating Blood Citrate Levels
Recent studies show that citrate is involved in several biological processes such as inflammation, cancer, insulin secretion, acetylation of histones, neurological development and hydroxylglutaric aciduria, indicating that it has functions beyond energy regulation. More...31 Mar 2021
Vitamin D Levels Tied to COVID-19 Risk for African-Americans
Vitamin D has diverse physiological effects, including on calcium regulation, bone density, and immune function. Deficient levels, typically defined as 25-hydroxyvitamin D (also known as calcifediol) level less than 20 ng/mL are common, especially in African-Americans individuals. More...29 Mar 2021
White Blood Cell Help Define Pediatric Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections account for up to 7% of fevers in children up to 24 months old and are a common driver of hospital emergency room visits. These bacterial infections in infants and toddlers can be difficult to diagnose because their symptoms are similar to other fever-causing conditions. More...25 Mar 2021
Calcitonin and Procalcitonin Immunoassays Investigated for Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is caused by a malignant transformation in the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid, where calcitonin (CT) is released. Nowadays, CT is the main tumor marker used in the diagnosis and follow-up of MTC patients. More...23 Mar 2021
Cardiac Troponins Assessed for Acute Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by dyspnea, peripheral edema and fatigue. Diagnosing HF can be difficult due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions, and the phenotype of HF varies due to a broad spectrum of underlying pathophysiology. More...17 Mar 2021
