Metabolic Syndrome Associated with Increased Blood Clot Recurrence Risk
People with metabolic syndrome which are a set of conditions including obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, elevated levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood, and high blood pressure, are more likely to experience recurrent blood clots. More...21 Jan 2020
Molecular Characteristics of Leptomeningeal Melanoma Metastases Identified
Patients with advanced melanoma who develop metastases in the leptomeninges, the fluid filled membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, have an extremely poor prognosis. Most patients only survive for eight to 10 weeks after diagnosis. More...20 Jan 2020
Cardiac Blood Test Predicts Post-Surgical Outcomes
Globally, of the 200 million adults who undergo major surgery, 18% will experience serious cardiac and vascular complications including death within 30 days following their intervention, such as hip and knee replacements, bowel resections and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. More...08 Jan 2020
Rapid Diagnostic Test for The Detection of G6PD Deficiency Evaluated
To reduce the risk of drug-induced hemolysis, all patients should be tested for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (G6PDd) prior to prescribing primaquine (PQ)-based radical cure for the treatment of vivax malaria. More...07 Jan 2020
Presepsin Concentrations Predicts Commensurate Decline in Kidney Function
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide health problem and its prevalence is rising, particularly in the elderly, mainly reflecting the increased life expectancy of the global population. Decrease in nephron number with aging leads to age-related decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). More...06 Jan 2020
Biochemical Markers Affected by Adiposity in Children
Pediatric or childhood obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disorder among children and adolescents worldwide. Approximately 43 million individuals are obese, 21%–24% children and adolescents are overweight, and 16%–18% of individuals have abdominal obesity. More...02 Jan 2020
