Biochemical Abnormalities Among Celiac Disease Patients Referred for Antibody Testing
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease occurring in all age groups and affecting approximately 1% of the population, although many cases of CD remain undiagnosed. This condition is caused by an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals triggered by the ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, rye and barley. More...09 May 2022

Smart Diaper Could Provide Quick and Painless Bedside Urinalysis
Researchers have designed a flexible sensor that fits in a diaper, measures multiple components in urine and can share those results over Bluetooth to provide real-time bedside analyses for incontinent, elderly or infant patients. More...06 May 2022

NT-proBNP Underestimates Heart Failure Risk for Certain Patients
The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP) concentration could mean drastically different absolute risks of heart failure (HF) for different demographics, according to a cohort study suggesting the importance of sex and race in interpreting risk for people free of HF at baseline. More...03 May 2022



Elevated Lipoprotein(a) Mediates Risk of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in adults, with a prevalence between 0.5% and 2%. Longer life span and higher prevalence of AF risk factors are projected to further increase the global prevalence of AF. More...27 Apr 2022

Urine Testing Differentiates Glomerular from Tubulointerstitial Diseases on Kidney Biopsy
Histological examination of kidney biopsy tissue can help differentiate between glomerular and tubulointerstitial diseases, as well as differentiate between their underlying etiologies and subtypes. More...22 Apr 2022
