Biomarkers Associated with Major Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a five-fold increased risk of thromboembolisms, mainly stroke, independently of other risk factors. Accurate assessment to balance the risk of stroke and systemic embolic events (S/SEE), against the risk of major bleeding is therefore an important therapeutic goal in the clinical management of these patients.

Amino Acids Predict Prognosis in Patients with Acute Dyspnea
The main symptom of dyspnea is labored breathing. It may last for a minute or two after strenuous activity or it could be a chronic problem. One of the most common symptoms in the emergency departments (ED) is dyspnea, presented in roughly 3 to 4 million annual ER visits in the USA. More...15 Nov 2021

High sdLDL-C and Lipoprotein(A) Levels Correlated to Coronary Arteriostenosis in Takayasu Arteritis
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare vasculitis that mainly involves the aorta and its major branches. TA is mainly seen in young women aged 20–40 years and is most often encountered in Japan, Southeast Asia, India, and Mexico. Due to nonspecific clinical features, TA patients with coronary arteriostenosis might be misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated. More...11 Nov 2021


Urinary Biomarkers Predict Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with COVID-19
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in the blood and makes it hard for the kidneys to keep the right balance of fluid in the body. More...08 Nov 2021
