Serum Antinuclear Antibody Correlated in Hispanic Pediatric Patients With NFLD
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), also known as metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is excessive fat build-up in the liver without another clear cause such as alcohol use. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are strong risk factors for NAFLD. More...06 Apr 2022
Pre-Analytical Stability of Serum Biomarkers for Neurological Disease Investigated
Blood-based biomarkers are gaining increasing attention in the clinical field of neurological diseases, as they could contribute to accurate monitoring and prediction of disease and treatment outcomes. More...01 Apr 2022
Midlife Lipid and Glucose Levels Are Associated With Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death among Americans 65 years of age or older, with a prevalence of 5.8 million cases. This number is projected to nearly triple to 14 million people by 2060. More...30 Mar 2022
Albumin-Related Ratios Investigated in HBV-Associated Decompensated Cirrhosis
Identification of effective and accurate prognostic biomarkers for hepatitis B virus-associated decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DeCi) is challenging. This study was designed to determine and compare the prognostic value of albumin-related ratios (blood urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio [BAR], C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio [CAR], prothrombin time-international normalized ratio-to-albumin ratio [PTAR], neutrophil count-to-albumin ratio [NAR], and D-dimer-to-albumin ratio [DAR]) in HBV-DeCi patients.

Biomarkers Associated With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Psoriatic Patients
In patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), we determined whether cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were associated with carotid plaque burden and the development of cardiovascular (CV) events independent of the Framingham Risk Score (FRS). More...22 Mar 2022
Serum Extracellular Vesicle Arginase 1 Measured In T2DM
Serum extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived arginase 1 (ARG 1) plays a critical role in diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction. This study was performed to determine the levels of serum EV-derived ARG 1 in T2DM and non-T2DM participants and to examine the association of serum EV-derived ARG 1 with T2DM incidence. More...18 Mar 2022
