Interstitial Fluid Sampled from Skin Using a Microneedle Patch
Biochemical information about the body most commonly comes from analysis of blood, which represents only 6% of bodily fluids, but valuable information may also be found in other bodily fluids that are traditionally hard to get. Biofluids such as saliva, blood, urine, tears, and interstitial fluid (the fluid that surrounds cells) contain proteins and can be isolated for health monitoring. More...10 Dec 2020
HDL-Cholesterol Predicts Survival in Cirrhotic Patients with Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Liver cirrhosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality as a consequence of continuous liver injuries. Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is a serious complication and critical clinical event in cirrhotic patients. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the leading cause of liver cirrhosis in China. More...10 Dec 2020
Diagnostic Assays Evaluated for Vitamin B12 and Folate Deficiency
Current guidelines pertaining to diagnosing macrocytic anemia in association with vitamin B12 and folate deficiency recommend that vitamin B12, folate, homocysteine, and methylmalonic acid assays should be assessed concurrently due to their close relationship in metabolism. More...07 Dec 2020
Kininogen-1 Protein Linked to Early Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s
Cognitive impairment is a common feature in Parkinson's disease (PD), associated with increased morbidity and mortality. An ongoing area of PD studies is the search for biomarkers that can provide prognostic information about cognitive impairment and other symptoms. More...03 Dec 2020
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
