Association of serum sclerostin levels with marrow adiposity in postmenopausal women with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
Glucocorticoids and sclerostin act as inhibitors of the Wnt signaling pathway, thereby hindering bone formation. Given the pathway's intricate association with mesenchymal stem cells, the hypothesis suggests that heightened sclerostin levels may be intricately linked...
Association of stress hyperglycemia ratio and mortality in patients with sepsis: results from 13,199 patients.
The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), adjusted for average glycemic status, is suggested for assessing actual blood glucose levels. Its link with adverse outcomes is known in certain populations, yet its impact on sepsis patients' prognosis is unclear. This study...
Short-term outcomes after liver resection with vascular reconstruction: Results from a study with the National Clinical Database of Japan.
Although curative resection with vascular reconstruction improves the prognosis of blood-invading locally advanced hepatobiliary tumors, the mortality and morbidity of the procedure remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors associated with...
Short-term variation of the fetal heart rate as a marker of intraamniotic infection in pregnancies with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes: a historical cohort study.
Intraamniotic infection (IAI) and subsequent early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) are among the main complications associated with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM). Currently used diagnostic tools have been shown to have poor diagnostic performance for IAI....
In Vitro and In Silico Characterization of the Aggregation of Thrombi on Textured Ventricular Cannula.
The unacceptably high stroke rate associated with HeartMate 3 ventricular assist device (VAD) without signs of adherent pump thrombosis is hypothesized to be the result of the emboli produced by the inflow cannula, that are ingested and ejected from the pump. This in...
A review on the nexus of autophagy genes from the perspective of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS is an endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. It is a diversified multi factorial disorder and diagnosis is very complicated because of its overlapping symptoms some of which are irregular menstrual cycle, acne in face,...
Awareness of having hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia among US adults: The 2011-2018 NHANES data.
This study aimed to investigate awareness of having hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia and their associated factors among US adults.Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, including 21,399 adults aged ⩾20 years (pregnant women excluded)...
Predictive Value of Nasal Nitric Oxide for Diagnosing Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis
The primary aim of this study was to assess disparities in nasal nitric oxide (NO) levels between individuals diagnosed with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and those without ECRS. The second aim was to ascertain the comparative predictive efficacy of these...
Poor respiratory function is associated with greater incidence of depression
1. In a cohort of patients with varying lung function assessed through values of FVC and FEV1, and no previous depression, participants with the lowest lung function had increased depression levels, compared to individuals with better levels of lung function. ...
Chronic Hypotension in Dialysis Significantly Impacts Shortterm Kidney Transplant Outcomes
The following is a summary of the “Kidney transplantation outcomes of patients with chronic hypotension in dialysis,” published in the March 2024 issue of Nephrology by Auñón et al. Chronic hypotension is a persistent concern affecting 5-10% of dialysis patients, yet...
