Association of red blood cell distribution width/albumin ratio with renal prognosis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Red cell distribution width (RDW)/serum albumin ratio (RAR) is a novel and simple inflammatory marker and has emerged as a reliable prognostic marker in various diseases. Our study reveals that a high RAR is a practical and easily obtainable predictive tool for assessing renal risk in patients with T2DM, thereby offering a tangible benefit to ...

Steroid‐responsive generalised sterile necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
A 1.5‐year‐old neutered male cat was presented with fever, inappetence, lethargy and marked generalised lymphadenopathy of 4 days duration. Excisional biopsy of peripheral lymph nodes revealed necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis. Extensive investigation failed to identify an underlying infectious [bacterial (Bartonella, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma,

Comparison of urine dipstick and albumin:creatinine ratio for chronic kidney disease screening: A population-based study.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is usually diagnosed using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or kidney damage markers. The urine dipstick test is a widely used screening tool for albuminuria, a CKD marker. Although the urine albumin:creatinine

Generation and plant production of recombinant fluorescent immunoglobulin G as innovative immunodiagnostic reagents

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Immunodiagnostic systems for on‐site screening are increasingly in demand but require expensive reagents such as chemically modified antibodies. To obtain biomolecules as ready‐to‐use reagents for diagnostics, new recombinant fluorescent immunoglobulins G were generated by fusion of the heavy chain of a monoclonal antibody, 5H3, to two ...

Reliability of dipstick assay in predicting urinary tract infection

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2015
Aims: Urine dipstick analysis is a quick, cheap and a useful test in predicting Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in hospitalized patients. Our aim is to evaluate the reliability (sensitivity) of urine dipstick analysis against urine culture in the diagnosis

Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy, Preterm Delivery, and Infant Size: Which Mothers Have Highest Cardiovascular Disease Mortality?

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Research on new‐onset hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and long‐term maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD) death has focused on mothers of small‐for‐gestational‐age infants rather than large‐for‐gestational‐age infants. Objectives We further explored this focus by investigating CVD death in mothers with HDP by gestational ...

Prevalence of Acute Kidney Injury and Its Association With Severity and Outcome in Small Animal Trauma Patients: 387 Cases (2017–2021)

Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To describe the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in canine and feline trauma and to determine associations between AKI and trauma severity, outcome, species, and other factors. Design Analysis of cases submitted by one hospital to the Veterinary Committee on Trauma registry between April 2017 and February 2021 that had blood ...

Diagnostic accuracy of a urine dipstick for detecting albuminuria in hypertensive patients [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2021
Background: Screening for albuminuria is generally recommended among patients with hypertension. While the urine dipstick is commonly used for screening urine albumin, there is little evidence about its diagnostic accuracy among these patients in ...

Faecal microbiome, gastrointestinal integrity, inflammation and thermoregulation in recent exertional heat illness patients and matched controls

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota and GI barrier integrity are hypothesised to contribute to exertional heat illness (EHI) aetiology. We compared the faecal microbiome, GI barrier integrity, inflammation and thermoregulation of 29 recent (∼4 months) EHI patients (a group with elevated EHI risk) and 29 control individuals without prior EHI ...
