Low Folate Levels Can Indicate Malnutrition in Hospital Patients
Folate deficiency, also known as vitamin B9 deficiency, is a low level of folate and derivatives in the body. Signs of folate deficiency are often subtle. A low number of red blood cells (anemia) are a late finding in folate deficiency and folate deficiency anemia is the term given for this medical condition. More...04 Mar 2020
Proenkephalin Assesses True Glomerular Filtration Rate Accurately
The assessment of renal function in clinical practice remains challenging. Using creatinine to assess the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is notoriously inaccurate, and determination of the true GFR, such as using inulin or iohexol, is laborious and not feasible in daily practice.

Genetic Risk Factors Found in Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication affecting 6%–15% of pregnancies globally. Although the condition resolves after delivery in most cases, women with a history of GDM have a more than sevenfold increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared with women with a normoglycemic pregnancy.

Technology Discriminates Parkinson’s Disease from Multiple System Atrophy
It is challenging to distinguish between Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) because the early signs are similar, disturbances in movement, tremors, uncontrollable movements during sleep, impaired speech, but the diseases progress differently and can require distinct treatment plans.

Glycemic Markers Influenced by Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect about 10% of the general adult population and is even more prevalent in diabetic patients. It is estimated that 20%–40% of individuals with diabetes have moderate to severe CKD, ranking diabetes as the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients.
