Biochemical Hypoglycemia Associated with Risk of Hypoglycemia
To optimize diabetes management, it is essential to have assessments of both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is primarily a measure of hyperglycemia, but it provides no indication of the frequency or severity of hypoglycemia. More...24 Jan 2019
Calprotectin Independently Predicts Relapse in Treated RA
Calprotectin is a biomarker of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and predicts relapse in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Higher drug trough serum levels are associated with a good response in patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi). More...14 Jan 2019
Urinary Biomarkers Associated with Kidney Disease Risk Factors
The improved life expectancy among treated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients has been tempered by the excess burden of age-related non-infectious co-morbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). More...14 Jan 2019
Test Detects Protein Associated with Alzheimer’s and CTE
An ultrasensitive test has been developed that detects a corrupted protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This advance could lead to early diagnosis of these conditions and how they originate. More...09 Jan 2019
Bilirubin Improves Risk Prediction of Cardiovascular Death
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent disorders worldwide and cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients. Therefore, improvements in risk prevention and adequate treatment are needed in these high-risk subjects. More...07 Jan 2019
Serum Magnesium Levels Associated with CAP Mortality
Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common illness affecting hundreds of millions worldwide, with increasing hospital admissions throughout the years mainly due to the aging population. It is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in all age groups, especially the elderly. More...07 Jan 2019
