The accurate and timely diagnosis of preeclampsia is critical in management of affected pregnancies to reduce maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality, yet difficulties remain in establishing the rigorous diagnosis of preeclampsia based on clinical parameters alone. Biomarkers that detect biochemical disease have been proposed as complements or ...
Methods: Anti-modified albumin autoantibodies, predominantly ACA, were quantitated using a rapid point-of-care test and the data analyzed by ACA and CCP status for correlations with clinical and laboratory parameters and medication. Results: In two cohorts of RA patients (n=168), 55% were positive for anti-modified albumin autoantibodies (here referred to as ...
Do you have a patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) that you suspect may also have Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS)? With shared clinical and serological features, overlapping SS with SLE is a comorbidity that is often challenging to identify to promptly assist clinical management. ...
However, zone III contained a higher proportion of individuals with chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome than did zone I. Moreover, many clinical parameters showed significant increases in zone III, including hsCRP (Bonferroni post hoc one-way ANOVA test; p < 0.0001) (Figure 1C), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, ...
Perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) are ubiquitous, persistent chemical contaminants found in the environment, wildlife, and humans. Despite the widespread occurrence of PFCs, little is known about the impact these contaminants have on the health of wildlife populations. We investigated the relationship between PFCs (including Σperfluorocarboxylates, Σperfluoroalkyl sulfonates, perfluorooctane ...
