Impact of rural versus urban setting on kidney markers: a cross-sectional study in South-Kivu, DRCongo

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background Most studies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have been conducted in urban settings. They relied on GFR estimated from serum creatinine alone and on the inexpensive, convenient urinary dipstick to assess proteinuria.

Dyclonine rescues frataxin deficiency in animal models and buccal cells of patients with Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]

, 2014
Inherited deficiency in the mitochondrial protein frataxin (FXN) causes the rare disease Friedreich's ataxia (FA), for which there is no successful treatment. We identified a redox deficiency in FA cells and used this to model the disease.

Angiogenic Biomarkers and Neonatal Outcomes in Suspected Preeclampsia: Retrospective Cohort Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) are two biomarkers associated with placental function and the sFlt‐1/PlGF ratio is frequently used for risk assessment and prediction of preeclampsia in pregnancy. Objective To assess the association between elevated sFlt‐1/PlGF ratio and adverse neonatal outcomes in
