Kininogen-1 Protein Linked to Early Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s

Cognitive impairment is a common feature in Parkinson's disease (PD), associated with increased morbidity and mortality. An ongoing area of PD studies is the search for biomarkers that can provide prognostic information about cognitive impairment and other symptoms. More...

Single-Tube Multimarker Assay Estimates Preeclampsia Risk

The challenge in the clinical practice of pregnancy monitoring is to distinguish isolated gestational hypertension or proteinuria from the development of preeclampsia (PE) with potential severe consequences to the mother and unborn child. More...

Spot Urine Sample Evaluated for Renal Potassium Loss

Hypokalemia is characterized by low serum potassium concentrations. Severe hypokalemia can be life threatening, and immediate potassium replacement is often required to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. More...

Incretin Hormone Levels Linked to Arteriosclerosis

While existing evidence supports beneficial cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), emerging studies suggest that glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and/or signaling via the GIP receptor may have untoward cardiovascular effects. More...

Biomarker Detects Early Alzheimer’s Disease

In Alzheimer disease (AD), abnormal metabolism of amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau leads to accumulation of extracellular plaques formed by misfolded Aβ and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles containing phosphorylated tau (P-tau) protein. More...

Elevated Fructosamine Levels Associated with Increased PJI Risk

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most serious complication that lowers the quality of patients’ life by elevating the patients’ burden of cost and affecting the outcome of total joint arthroplasty. More...

Biomarkers Predict Whether RA Patients Will Respond to DMARDs

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by unremitting joint inflammation that results in bone and cartilage destruction and a decreased quality of life. RA may arise from a decreased ability of the host immune response to engage resolution programmes that prevent the precipitation of acute inflammation into chronicity. More...
