Vitamin D Status Determined in Older Adults

Vitamin D has a known role in bone health, with growing evidence for beneficial effects on muscle strength and other non-skeletal outcomes. Vitamin D deficiency is often associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. The circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status predominately relies on UV exposure. More...

Cardiovascular Risk Biomarkers Found for JSLE Patients

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease typically affecting women between the ages of 15 and 50, and symptoms flare up unpredictably. Approximately 20% of cases begin during childhood and in these patients the disease is suggested to be more severe. More...

Novel Blood Test for Myocardial Infarction Tested

 The level cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyC) in the blood increase more rapidly after a myocardial infarction, and to a higher extent, than troponin. This means meaning that the new test can rule out a myocardial infarction in a higher proportion of patients straight away. More...

Genetic Familial Hypercholesterolemia Prevalent in Premature CVD

Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Increased low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level is a major risk factor for CAD and thus the main target for its prevention. More...

Plasma Copeptin Reveals Presence and Severity of Liver Disease

Vasopressin (VP) is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in response to increased plasma osmolality, low plasma volume, and low blood pressure. Copeptin is a cleavage product of the C-terminal part of the VP precursor which correlates well with plasma VP concentrations and which is easier to measure reliably. More...
