A Salivary Urea Nitrogen Dipstick to Detect Obstetric-Related Acute Kidney Disease in Malawi

Kidney International Reports, 2018
Obstetric-related acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with adverse outcomes for mother and fetus, particularly in low-income countries. However, laboratory-independent tools to facilitate diagnosis are lacking.

Diagnosis by Resolution: Ultrasound Follow‐Up of Neonatal Polypoid Cystitis Mimicking Botryoid Rhabdomyosarcoma

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In neonatal bladder masses, benign inflammatory conditions like polypoid cystitis can mimic malignancy on ultrasound. In stable neonates with evidence of infection, short‐interval ultrasound follow‐up after antibiotic therapy allows “diagnosis by resolution.” This conservative approach safely avoids unnecessary invasive procedures while maintaining ...

Evaluation of DOAC Dipstick Test for Detecting Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Urine Compared with a Clinically Relevant Plasma Threshold Concentration

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2022
Measuring direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) concentrations might be necessary in certain clinical situations but is not routinely performed. The DOAC Dipstick is a new rapid test for detecting DOACs in urine.

Chronic, Environmentally Relevant PM2.5 Exposure Exacerbates Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Early‐Stage Renal Dysfunction in a Rodent Model

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While epidemiological studies link fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and renal dysfunction, a translational gap exists, as most animal models utilize acute, high‐dose exposures that poorly reflect chronic, moderate‐level human scenarios.

Single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas assays for point‐of‐need detection of Stewart's wilt pathogen (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii) of corn and Maize dwarf mosaic virus

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1988-1999, April 2025.
Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

The assessment of 24 24-h urine volume by measurement of urine specific gravity with dipstick in adults with nephrolithiasis

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2012
Background: Nephrolithiasis is a recurrent disease, and one of the most effective methods for prevention of stone recurrence is increasing the urine output (>2 L/day), but it is difficult to achieve it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of
