The results of logistic regression analysis showed that SBP (p < 0.01), TBC (p < 0.05), age (p < 0.05), diabetes duration (p < 0.01), HbA1c (p < 0.05), and eGFR (p < 0.01) were independent explanatory factors for retinopathy.In diabetic pati...
Blood samples were taken by direct vein puncture with 24 h after admission. The samples were collected into general vacuum tube without anticoagulation. SUA was measured by Uricase Colorimetric Assay and the upper reference limit (URL) was 1.33 mg/dl (to convert millimoles per liter to milligram...
Resistant hypertension (RHT) is characterized by persistently high blood pressure (BP) levels above the widely recommended therapeutic targets of less than
Figure 2. Higher blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and proportion of hematuria were detected among the albuminuric group during the screenings. Results collected during the screenings showed that (a) mean systolic blood pressure (SBP; 135.2 ± 21.1 vs. 130.0 ± 17.8, P < 0.001), dia...
Adoptive T cell therapy is a pivotal strategy in cancer immunotherapy, demonstrating potent clinical efficacy. However, its limited durability often results in primary resistance. High-throughput screening technologies, which include both genetic and non

34. Also, the presence of red blood cells in urine was investigated under a microscope. The participants were then categorized as CKD if matched with either of the following criteria for 3 months or longer: 1) eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, or 2) presence of any kidney damage;...
Blood pressure, weight, and height were measured. BMI for both cohorts was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Serum creatinine at enrollment before cardiac catheterization was obtained from routine clinic visits or hospitalizations within the Emory Healthcare system....
High grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for ~ 70% of ovarian cancer cases. Non-invasive, highly specific blood-based tests for pre-symptomatic screening in women are crucial to reducing the mortality associated with this disease. Since
Liquid biopsy provides a non-invasive approach that enables detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using blood specimens and theoretically benefits early finding primary tumor or monitoring treatment response as well as tumor recurrence. Despite many studies on these...
