SGLT2 inhibitors and mortality in older adults with diabetic kidney disease: A target trial emulation study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Randomized controlled trials on sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have yielded inconsistent findings regarding mortality benefits. It remains unclear whether, and in which subgroups, SGLT2 inhibitors confer survival benefits in older adults with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

Evaluation of reagent strips for ascitic fluid leukocyte determination: is it a possible alternative for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis rapid diagnosis?

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
In order to evaluate the accuracy of a urine reagent dipstick (Multistix 10SG®) to determine ascitic fluid leukocyte count, we prospectively studied 106 cirrhotic patients from April 2003 to December 2004, in two different centers (Federal University of ...

Rapid multiplex detection of the resistance genes mecA, vanA and vanB from Gram-positive cocci-positive blood cultures using a PCR-dipstick technique.

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020
Introduction. Among the causative agents of bloodstream infections (BSIs), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) are the key causative pathogens.

Exploring a Subpopulation of MASLD Associated With New Onset of CKD Using Supervised Clustering Techniques

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The supervised clustering of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) using a SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)‐converted matrix reveals distinct subpopulations that improved risk stratification for new onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Lateral Flow Dipstick Test for Serodiagnosis of Strongyloidiasis.

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019
The conventional method of detecting Strongyloides stercoralis in fecal samples has poor diagnostic sensitivity. Detection of Strongyloides-specific antibodies increases the sensitivity; however, most tests are ELISAs that use parasite extract which may ...

Reevaluating the true diagnostic accuracy of dipstick tests to diagnose urinary tract infection using Bayesian latent class analysis

PLoS ONE, 2020
Objective Previous studies on diagnostic accuracy of dipstick testing for leukocyte esterase (LE) and nitrite to diagnose urinary tract infection (UTI) had used urine culture, which is an imperfect gold standard. Estimates of diagnostic accuracy obtained

Urine Specimens from Pregnant and Nonpregnant Women Inhibitory to Amplification of \u3cem\u3eChlamydia trachomatis\u3c/em\u3e Nucleic Acid by PCR, Ligase Chain Reaction, and Transcription-Mediated Amplification: Identification of Urinary Substances Associated with Inhibition and Removal of Inhibitory Activity [PDF]

, 1998
The presence of endogenous amplification inhibitors in urine may produce false-negative results for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis nucleic acids by tests such as PCR, ligase chain reaction (LCR), and transcription-mediated amplification (TMA ...

Magnetic-field enhancement of performance of superconducting nanowire single-photon detector

, 2018
We present SNSPDs from NbN nanowires shaped after square-spiral that allows an increase not only in critical currents but also an extension of spectral detection efficiencies by just applying an external magnetic field.

Measuring Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Levels: Applications, Limitations, and Future Directions

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There are important challenges with the measurement and interpretation of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) anticoagulant effect including a lack of therapeutic ranges, inaccuracy of routinely available coagulation assays, lack of established thresholds for clinically significant effect, and uncertainty about how to apply the ...
