Discordant Results Between Creatinine- and Cystatin C-based Equations for Estimating GFR
Kidney International ReportsIntroduction: Discordant results between cystatin C and creatinine in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are an important medical issue. However, the equation that should be used when GFR estimates are discordant remains unclear.

The Contribution of Blood Serum Biomarkers to the Prediction of Cognitive Decline by fMRI and Apolipoprotein-E in Healthy Older Adults [PDF]
, 2012 Biomarkers are a promising approach to the prediction and early intervention of Alzheimer\u27s disease. We demonstrated that cortical functional MRI (fMRI) activation during a semantic memory task and apolipoprotein-E ?4 allele inheritance (APOE?4 ...

Whole blood NAD and NADP concentrations are not depressed in subjects with clinical pellagra [PDF]
, 2007 Population surveys for niacin deficiency are normally based on clinical signs or on biochemical measurements of urinary niacin metabolites. Status may also be determined by measurement of whole blood NAD and NADP concentrations. To compare these methods,

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
