Inflammation Markers in Individuals with History of Mental Health Crisis
AbstractThe association between temporary emotional states and systemic inflammation has never been studied. We measured the levels of systemic inflammation markers in the peripheral blood of...
View ArticleC-reactive protein velocity to distinguish febrile bacterial infections from...
AbstractIntroductionC-reactive protein (CRP) is a real-time and low-cost biomarker to distinguish febrile bacterial infections from non-bacterial febrile illnesses. We hypothesised that measuring the...
View ArticleElevated resting heart rate is associated with the metabolic syndrome
AbstractBackgroundIncreased resting heart rate (RHR) may be associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. Our aim was to explore the possibility that increased RHR is associated with the...
View ArticleThe association of higher levels of within-normal-limits liver enzymes and...
AbstractBackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is frequently characterized by elevated liver enzymes, including gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Our objective was to...
View ArticleWaist circumference as the predominant contributor to the micro-inflammatory...
AbstractBackgroundThe metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with the presence of low grade inflammation. Our aim was to analyze the inter-relations between each of the components of the metabolic...
View ArticleTime to rheology in acute myocardial infarction: inflammation and erythrocyte...
AbstractBackgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated the presence of increased erythrocyte aggregation (EA) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We have presently explored the correlation...
View ArticleC-reactive protein serum levels as an early predictor of outcome in patients...
AbstractBackgroundData for predicting which patients with pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection are likely to run a complicated course are sparse. We retrospectively studied whether the admission serum...
View ArticleThe diagnostic yield of D-Dimer in relation to time from symptom onset in...
AbstractD-Dimer concentrations increase following the thrombotic event and decrease thereafter. Timing of D-Dimer evaluation in relation to the onset of the disease might have a diagnostic impact. We...
View ArticleEnvironmental exposure to combustion-derived air pollution is associated with...
AbstractPrior toxicological exposure reports demonstrated the decremental effect of several air pollutants on the metabolic equivalents achieved during exercise testing (METs). There are no prior large...
View ArticleSex difference in the risk for exercise-induced albuminuria correlates with...
AbstractBackgroundAlbuminuria is an established marker for endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular risk in diabetes and prediabetes. Exercise induced albuminuria (EiA) appears earlier and may be a...

Total serum cholinesterase activity predicts hemodynamic changes during...
AbstractBackgroundImbalanced autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity is associated with poor cardiovascular outcome. However, clinically validated biomarkers to assess parasympathetic function are not...
View ArticleLong term metabolic and renal outcomes of kidney donors compared to controls...
AbstractBackgroundOnly few studies of living kidney donors have included controls that were similarly healthy, including excellent kidney function.MethodsIn this study, we aimed to estimate long term...
View ArticleAnemia measurements to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections in...
AbstractThe clinical diagnosis of acute infections in the emergency department is a challenging task due to the similarity in symptom presentation between virally and bacterially infected individuals,...
View ArticlePrevalence of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T in real-life cohorts of...
AbstractPatients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is a novel biomarker of CVD. The objective of this...

AbstractBackgroundResting heart rate (RHR) is an obtainable, inexpensive, non-invasive test, readily available on any medical document. RHR has been established as a risk factor for cardiovascular...
View ArticleUsing the kinetics of C-reactive protein response to improve the differential...
AbstractPurposeDifferential diagnosis between acute viral and bacterial infection is an emerging common challenge for a physician in the emergency department. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is used to...
View ArticleExercise-induced albuminuria increases over time in individuals with impaired...
AbstractBackgroundExercise induced albuminuria (EiA) is elevated in patients with metabolic dysfunction and diabetes, and may serve as an early biomarker for endothelial dysfunction and “kidney...

AbstractNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide, with a prevalence of 20%–30% in the general population. NAFLD is associated with increased risk of...
