#5699 IS GFR DECLINE INDUCED BY SGLT-2 INHIBITOR OF CLINICAL IMPORTANCE?
Abstract Background and Aims Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are associated with better cardiovascular outcome and with nephroprotection independent of diabetes status. However, the use of SGLT2i often cause an initial decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

The English past tense as a definite description
There are two major groups of analyses in the literature on the English past tense; existential semantics with domain restriction, and the pronominal (i.e. anaphoric) analysis. In this paper, I discuss a group of data difficult for both of these analyses:

Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of urine DNA biomarkers for the early detection of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is an aggressive disease with a 5-year survival rate of 26% in early-stage cancers, and a mere 2% in later stages. The most commonly used screening biomarker for HCC is serum alpha-

Clinical effectiveness of procalcitonin- or C-reactive protein-guided antibiotic discontinuation protocols for adult patients who are critically ill with sepsis: a rapid systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Summary Introduction Antibiotics are a first‐line treatment for sepsis, with guidelines recommending a 7‐ to 10‐day course. Prolonged antibiotic use carries significant risks, prompting growing interest in using inflammatory biomarkers, such as procalcitonin or C‐reactive protein, to guide clinical decision‐making on the duration of antibiotic therapy ...
