Biomarker Predicts Crohn's Disease Relapse in Children
Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation of the digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. Other complications outside the gastrointestinal tract may include anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, and lethargy. More...22 Jun 2021
Serum Leptin Concentration Predict Cardiovascular Outcomes in Hemodialysis Patients
Leptin, a 16-kDa protein product mainly secreted by adipocytes, has been known to increase energy expenditure, suppress appetite, and leads to weight loss. Hyperleptinemia was common in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and it was likely to be one of the causes of anorexia and malnutrition. More...21 Jun 2021
Urinary Sodium/Potassium Ratio Screens for Hyperaldosteronism in Hypertensive Men
Among individuals with hypertension, the prevalence of secondary hypertension has been reported to be around 10%. More than half of individuals with secondary hypertension have associated hyperaldosteronism. More...08 Jun 2021
Platelet Indices Analyzed for Tuberculosis and Diabetes Mellitus Co-Morbidity
Studies have demonstrated that some diseases accelerate Tuberculosis (TB) occurrence and development. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has been verified as one of the threatening risk factors for TB, and patients have three times the risk of developing TB compared to non-diabetic patients due to pathogenic mechanisms and metabolic factors.

Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Is Associated with Insulin Secretion
Dyslipidemia is characterized by low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), hypertriglyceridemia, high total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations, as well as an increased proportion of small dense lipoproteins. More...02 Jun 2021
Serum Based Antigen Test Detects Childhood Tuberculosis
Approximately one million children develop tuberculosis (TB) and 205,000 die of TB-related causes each year. Eighty percent of these deaths occur in children < 5 years old, with the majority (96%) of deaths occurring among children who did not receive treatment, where missed diagnoses are likely responsible for undertreatment. More...01 Jun 2021
Low Sugar Metabolite Associated with Disability, Neurodegeneration in MS
N-glycan branching modulates cell surface receptor availability, and its deficiency in mice promotes inflammatory demyelination, reduced myelination, and neurodegeneration. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is a rate-limiting substrate for N-glycan branching. More...27 May 2021
