Specific Phenotype Narrows Risk of Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia can lead to a baby being born early and can put the mother at risk of a seizure or stroke during delivery. It can also lead to damage in the kidneys, liver, lungs, heart or eyes and can increase a patient's risk for cardiovascular disease in the future. More...10 Sep 2019
Analytical Performance Evaluated for Troponin T Gen 5 Assay
Increased blood concentrations of cardiac troponin (cTn) I and T are indicative of myocardial injury and are the preferred biomarkers for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The diagnosis of AMI requires a rise and/or fall in serial cTn measurements, in addition to other clinical features. More...05 Sep 2019
Persistent C-Peptide Secretion in Type 1 Diabetes Genetic-Related
Studies using sensitive assays for C-peptide have shown that some degree of residual insulin secretion commonly persists for more than five years after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. There is variation in C-peptide persistence, the determinants of which are poorly understood but may be partly genetically determined. More...04 Sep 2019
Platelet Volume Related to Geriatric Patient In-Hospital Mortality
Treatment of acute coronary syndrome involves inhibition of platelet activity and thrombus formation. Platelets play a significant part during myocardial infarction by enhancing microvascular obstruction and secreting vasoactive peptides. More...28 Aug 2019
C-Reactive Protein Point-Of-Care Test Evaluated
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a key mediator of the acute-phase response, with blood levels of CRP increasing rapidly after an inflammatory stimulus. Therefore, changes in serum levels of CRP are a clinically useful marker of infection, inflammation, and tissue injury. More...27 Aug 2019
