Glycemic Markers Influenced by Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect about 10% of the general adult population and is even more prevalent in diabetic patients. It is estimated that 20%–40% of individuals with diabetes have moderate to severe CKD, ranking diabetes as the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients.

Islet Autoantibody Screening Reveal Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Risk
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic progressive autoimmune disorder with complex polygenic susceptibility, usually associated with certain HLA alleles (IDDM1 locus). Progression to T1D is typically marked by the presence of islet-specific autoantibodies in the serum. In humans, autoantibodies are present months to years before disease onset. More...17 Feb 2020

D‐dimer Levels Predict Ischemic Stroke in Infective Endocarditis
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life‐threatening disease, especially in developing countries. IE may present many extra‐cardiac symptoms or signs, in which neurological complications are the most prominent and severe. More...17 Feb 2020




Ovarian Cancer Protein Contributes to Alzheimer`s Disease Neurodegeneration
Alzheimer's disease is a complex neurological disorder with pathological hallmarks of hyperamyloidosis (senile plaques), neurofibrillary tangles containing hyperphosphorylated tau, and extensive neurodegeneration in the brain. More...30 Jan 2020
