Novel Blood Test for Myocardial Infarction Tested
The level cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyC) in the blood increase more rapidly after a myocardial infarction, and to a higher extent, than troponin. This means meaning that the new test can rule out a myocardial infarction in a higher proportion of patients straight away. More...19 Jun 2019
Trace Metal Concentrations Influence Glucose Regulation in Pregnancy
Gestational diabetes is a condition in which a woman without diabetes develops high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes generally results in few symptoms; however, it does increase the risk of preeclampsia, depression, and requiring a Caesarean section. More...12 Jun 2019
Genetic Familial Hypercholesterolemia Prevalent in Premature CVD
Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Increased low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level is a major risk factor for CAD and thus the main target for its prevention. More...12 Jun 2019
Plasma Copeptin Reveals Presence and Severity of Liver Disease
Vasopressin (VP) is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in response to increased plasma osmolality, low plasma volume, and low blood pressure. Copeptin is a cleavage product of the C-terminal part of the VP precursor which correlates well with plasma VP concentrations and which is easier to measure reliably. More...11 Jun 2019
3D-Printed Device Detects Biomarkers of Preterm Birth
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as birth before the 37th week of gestation, is the leading complication of pregnancy and it affects about 1 in 10 pregnancies worldwide. Preterm infants can suffer complications such as neurological, respiratory and cardiac problems and, in some cases, even death. More...06 Jun 2019
