Galectin-3 Predicts Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Diabetic Patients
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. It's usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries (atherosclerosis) and an increased risk of blood clots. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) can lead to early and severe atherosclerosis. More...19 Oct 2020
Glycated Hemoglobin Screening Reveals Undiagnosed Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss. More...15 Oct 2020
Urine Osmolality Measurement Evaluated on Automated Analyzer
Urinalysis is a convenient and non‐invasive screening tool for use in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Automated flow cytometry‐based urine analyzer is increasingly being used to identify and enumerate cells and particles in urine specimens. It measures electrical conductivity which could be transformed to osmolality. More...06 Oct 2020
Hypokalemia Is Associated With COVID-19 Severity
Early studies reported various electrolyte abnormalities at admission in patients who later presented the severe form of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Electrolyte imbalance may not only affect patient care, but could provide insights into the COVID-19 pathophysiology. More...01 Oct 2020
Ammonia Predicts Prognosis in Hepatitis B Virus‐Related Liver Failure
Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) is the rapid deterioration of liver function in chronic liver disease often associated with the development of serious complications such as hepatorenal syndrome and hepatic encephalopathy within a short period of time. More...24 Sep 2020
Hematological Parameters Evaluated for Cervicocranial Arterial Dissection Stroke
As artery detachment, artery dissection refers to the vascular disease in which blood flow enters the artery wall and causes dissection of vascular wall. Cervicocranial arterial dissection (CCAD) can lead to stenosis or occlusion of the lumen has become one of the most frequent causes for ischemic stroke in the young. More...23 Sep 2020
