Total Plasma Homocysteine Methods Evaluated
Homocysteine (HCY) is occasionally requested as a prognostic risk factor in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Homocysteine is an intermediary amino acid formed in methionine metabolism, with elevated total homocysteine (tHCY) is a biomarker of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. More...15 Aug 2022
Lipid Cutoffs Identified for CVD Risk in Young Adults Without Diabetes
The underlying pathogenesis and progression associated with nearly all cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are predominantly of atherosclerotic origin that leads to the development of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, venous thromboembolism and, peripheral vascular disease, subsequently causing myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrhythmias or stroke.

Mitochondrial Biomarker Predicts Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia primarily caused by both impaired insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells (insulinopenia) and defective insulin signaling in metabolically active tissues (insulin resistance). More...02 Aug 2022
Bile Acid Profile in Severe Fibromyalgia Associated with Microbiome Changes
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition defined by the presence of chronic widespread pain, fatigue, waking unrefreshed, cognitive symptoms, lower abdominal pain or cramps, and depression. Other symptoms include insomnia and a general hypersensitivity. More...01 Aug 2022
Novel Presepsin Assay Evaluated Using Automated Immunoanalyzer
Biomarkers that reflect systemic responses during sepsis have been studied continuously, and there are various surrogate markers for the diagnosis of sepsis. Procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), cytokines, and chemokines have been studied extensively under the previous and revised sepsis definitions. More...27 Jul 2022
