We report a case of a woman (58 years old) with persistent and elevated CK activities and without corresponding clinical signs. For seven months CK-B activity was determined above normal by an inhibition test. By exclusion chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, electrophoresis of CK iso...
A positive urine anion gap and alkaline urine pointed to the diagnosis of distal renal tubular acidosis. Large doses of potassium chloride supplementation were required to restore muscle strength. Pertinent investigations, including elevated titers of antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor, positive ...
Among adults with a family history of CVD or diabetes, BRI was consistently elevated compared with those without, and their increasing trends widened from 1999 through 2018. All subsidiary trends over nearly 2 decades remained statistically significant at α = .05 (eTable 2 in Supplement 1)...
We observed a positive association between a higher TyG index and an elevated risk of CVD mortality. This association was statistically significant in both Model 1 (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01–1.39) and Model 2 (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05–1.74). Furthermore, this positive association between the TyG...
Moreover, respondents with an elevated TyG index have a heightened risk of both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in contrast to those with a lower TyG index (all-cause mortality: 20.06% vs 15.16%, P = 0.014; cardiovascular mortality: 7.14% vs 4.06%, P = 0.011). Table 1 ...
Elevated plasma homocysteine levels have been associated with higher risks of cardiovascular disease, but the effects on disease rates of supplementation w... None - 《Archives of Internal Medicine》 被引量: 916发表: 2010年 Social Ties and Change in Social Ties in Relation to Subsequent Total and...
Twelve of 19 patients with myeloproliferative disorders showed a decrease or absence of the largest multimers of plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) that correlated with elevated platelet counts but not with leukocyte counts. This suggested that platelets, rather than leukocytes, may be associated with...
In- vestigations during life showed this child to have elevated blood pyruvate, lactate, and a-ketoglutarate as well as elerntion of branched chain amino acids and occasional hy·poglycemia. Co- factor therapy using either thiamine-HCI (2 g/kg/24 hr) or thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide ...
Subsequently, several meta-analyses including more than 43 original studies reported that MHO individuals experienced an elevated risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality compared with individuals in the MHN reference group [32, 33]. In the aforementioned findings, the role of genetic ...
but is also involved in some exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. More importantly it seems to be strongly associated with chronic obstructive lung disease irrespective of exacerbation status. Moreover, persistently elevatedC. pneumoniaeantibody titers have been observed in sarcoidosis and lung cancer [40...
