Perioperative high-density lipoproteins, oxidative stress, and kidney injury after cardiac surgery.
Oxidative stress promotes acute kidney injury (AKI). Higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol are associated with less AKI. To test the hypothesis that HDL antioxidant activity is associated with AKI after cardiac surgery, we...
Multi-sample mass spectrometry-based approach for discovering injury markers in chronic kidney disease.
Urinary proteomics studies have primarily focused on identifying markers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Here, we aimed to determine urinary markers of CKD renal parenchymal injury through proteomics analysis in...

This study evaluated maintenance treatment with niraparib, a potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1/2, in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.In this phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled...
Increased zinc and albumin but lowered copper in children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia.
Measurements of copper and zinc in transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) show contradictory results.To examine serum levels of these minerals in TDT in relation to iron overload indices and erythron variables.This study...
Nutrient density, but not cost of diet, is associated with anemia and iron deficiency in school-age children in South Africa.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of nutrient density and diet cost with anemia and iron deficiency (ID) in children.Dietary intake data of 5- to 12-y-old children (n = 578) from three independent studies in...

CKD Progression and Mortality Among Men and Women: A Nationwide Study in Sweden.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. Several sex-specific differences have been reported for disease progression and mortality. Selection and survival bias might have influenced the...
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Prognostic Factors at Presentation in a Resource-Limited Center.
Determining chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) prognosis using the International Prognostic Index markers such as TP53 and immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region gene mutation in a resource-limited setting is difficult to...
Is there bacterial infection in intact crowns teeth and pulp necrosis of sickle-cell anaemia patients? A case series study nested in a cohort.
To evaluate the presence of bacteria in permanent teeth with intact crowns (without caries, periodontal disease, or dental trauma) in sickle cell anaemia patients (HbSS genotype) by analyzing their clinical, imaging, and...
Tract-specific analysis and neurocognitive functioning in sickle cell patients without history of overt stroke.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecule in red blood cells is abnormal. SCD patients are at increased risks for strokes and neurocognitive deficit, even though...
