Serum Antinuclear Antibody Correlated in Hispanic Pediatric Patients With NFLD

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), also known as metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is excessive fat build-up in the liver without another clear cause such as alcohol use. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are strong risk factors for NAFLD. More...

Midlife Lipid and Glucose Levels Are Associated With Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death among Americans 65 years of age or older, with a prevalence of 5.8 million cases. This number is projected to nearly triple to 14 million people by 2060. More...

Albumin-Related Ratios Investigated in HBV-Associated Decompensated Cirrhosis

Identification of effective and accurate prognostic biomarkers for hepatitis B virus-associated decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DeCi) is challenging. This study was designed to determine and compare the prognostic value of albumin-related ratios (blood urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio [BAR], C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio [CAR], prothrombin time-international normalized ratio-to-albumin ratio [PTAR], neutrophil count-to-albumin ratio [NAR], and D-dimer-to-albumin ratio [DAR]) in HBV-DeCi patients.

Biomarkers Associated With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Psoriatic Patients

In patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), we determined whether cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were associated with carotid plaque burden and the development of cardiovascular (CV) events independent of the Framingham Risk Score (FRS).

Serum Folate Deficiency in Older People Associated With Heightened Dementia

Low levels of folate (vitamin B9) in the blood may be linked to a heightened risk of dementia and death from any cause in older people, More...

Serum Extracellular Vesicle Arginase 1 Measured In T2DM

Serum extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived arginase 1 (ARG 1) plays a critical role in diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction. This study was performed to determine the levels of serum EV-derived ARG 1 in T2DM and non-T2DM participants and to examine the association of serum EV-derived ARG 1 with T2DM incidence. More...
