74-Year-old female with new monoclonal protein on serum immunofixation electrophoresis.Highlights ? Daratumumab and other mAb therapeutics can appear as M-proteins on SPEP and IFE. ? mAb interference can be erroneously diagnosed as disease progression, class switching, development of a new clone, ...
This report is of a 41-year old woman with Stage 3 lipedema and lipo-lymphedema with excessive fat of the lower body since puberty, with progression to swollen ankles and feet despite dietary caloric restriction. CASE REPORT A 41-year-old woman noticed increased fat in her legs since age ...
In my years as a pediatric dietitian, I have seen many concerned parents who were worried that their babies andpicky toddlersweren't getting enough protein. But how much protein does a 2-year-old need? How about a 1-year-old or a 3-year-old? For starters, it helps to realize that p...
An 83-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with weakness and weight loss. A urinalysis was ordered. The urine was clear and light yellow. A urine protein estimate obtained with reagent strips (Clinitek Atlas; Siemens) was 30 mg/dL; however, quantitative measurement of the total...
Women are born with all of their oocytes. The oocyte proteome must be maintained with minimal damage throughout the woman’s reproductive life, and hence for decades. Here we report that oocyte and ovarian proteostasis involves extreme protein longevity.
For example, a 30-year-old woman has an a priori risk of 1/900 for DS at term. If she completed a second trimester of the four serum analytes (also known as the Quad Screen), and the LRs for MSAFP, UE3, hCG, and INH were 1.7, 10.5, 2.0, and 1.0, respectively, then her AR ...
Differences in muscle protein synthesis and anabolic signaling in the postabsorptive state and in response to food in 65–80 year old men and women. PLoS ONE 2008, 3, e1875. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] Kim, I.Y.; Deutz, N.E.P.; Wolfe, R.R. Update on maximal anabolic ...
was observed in participants with higher intakes of protein. These results remained significant after adjustment for many covariates. However, significance was lost when kilocalories and micronutrients were included in the model. Conclusions: Findings of the present study indicate that protein intake at ...
All of this protein fuss — the incessant inquisition about where we get protein — is about 83 grams per day, even after adjusting for being an athlete? (And if our 140-pound woman weren’t an athlete, she’d need only 50 grams to hit the RDA number!) What the experts say about ...
A 60-year-old man presents with a feeling of fullness in his abdomen and a 5kg weight loss over the past 6months. Physical examination is entirely normal. Laboratory studies show hemoglobin 8.2g/dL, hematocrit 24%, and MCV 70µm3. Urinalysis shows 3+ hematuria but no protein, glucose, ...
