Elevated Vitamin-B12 Level Lowers Risk of Parkinson’s Disease Dementia

Previous studies found that, among people with Parkinson’s, those with cognitive impairment, such as dementia, had significantly lower levels of vitamin B12 in their blood. This suggests the possibility that low vitamin B12 or cobalamin levels predispose certain individuals to dementia. More...

Novel Glycoprotein Biomarker Evaluated for Liver Fibrosis

The main pathological consequence of chronic liver diseases is the continuous deposition of collagen fibers, which causes progressive liver fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis. Mild‐to‐moderate fibrosis is rarely diagnosed because the disease is asymptomatic in the early stage. More...

C-Reactive Protein Predicts Neurological Outcomes of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a disease associated with high mortality. Survivors of SAH may manifest severe neurological deficits. In patients with SAH, early brain injury or delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is associated with poor outcomes. More...

Novel Method Developed to Estimate LDL Particle Size

Premature atherosclerotic disease commonly occurs in individuals with atherogenic dyslipidemia who share a phenotype characterized by centripetal obesity, insulin resistance, and physical inactivity. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality in the Western World being subclinical atherosclerosis the triggering factor for most of these events. More...

Factors Associated with ARDS in COVID-19 Identified

 Patients with COVID-19 present primarily with fever, myalgia or fatigue, and dry cough. Although most patients are thought to have a favorable prognosis, older patients and those with chronic underlying conditions may have worse outcomes. More...

Higher Tenascin-C Levels Associated with Cardiovascular Disease

 Although there are several known biomarkers for cardiovascular (CV) risk that have been proposed to improve risk stratification in diabetes, they have not been incorporated into international guidelines. More...

Kidney Disease Reveals DNA Variants Associated with Diabetic Nephropathy

 Diabetic kidney disease is a serious complication that develops in some people with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It affects the kidneys' ability to filter extra water and waste products from the body and leads to high blood pressure, swollen extremities, loss of concentration, fatigue and could end in kidney failure.
