Plasma Neurofilament Light Predicts All-Cause Mortality Risk
Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a cytoskeletal protein component exclusively expressed in neurons that is released into the extracellular fluids, including blood, during neuroaxonal damage. NfL is linked to mortality in neurological disorders, remaining unexplored in population studies. More...21 Jun 2022
Cardiac Biomarkers Investigated in Acquired Refractory Thrombocytopenic Purpura Patients
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disorder that causes blood clots (thrombi) to form in small blood vessels throughout the body. These clots can cause serious medical problems if they block vessels and restrict blood flow to organs such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. More...21 Jun 2022
Serum Vimentin Predicts Mortality in Pediatric Severe Sepsis
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is a leading cause of death worldwide in the pediatric population. Vascular hyperpermeability by loss of endothelial barrier integrity is a hallmark of sepsis. More...14 Jun 2022
Bladder Cancer Urine Test Eliminates Invasive Cystoscopy and Unnecessary Imaging
A non-invasive urine test with high sensitivity and negative predicted value (NPV) for bladder cancer can assist in ruling out patients with micro-hematuria for unnecessary cystoscopy and its invasive procedure and, in turn, reduce the work-up. More...02 Jun 2022
Very High HDL Associated With CV Mortality in CAD
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common heart condition. The major blood vessels that supply the heart (coronary arteries) struggle to send enough blood, oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. Cholesterol deposits (plaques) in the heart arteries and inflammation are usually the cause of CAD. More...31 May 2022
