Cystatin C as Biomarker for the Evaluation of Renal Outcome in AL Amyloidosis

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cystatin C (CysC) has emerged as a novel and potentially more reliable biomarker for the estimation of glomerular filtration in the general population in patients with various conditions. In AL amyloidosis, the current renal staging system and renal response criteria are based on proteinuria and creatinine‐based eGFR.

Xylem surfactants introduce a new element to the cohesion-tension theory [PDF]

, 2016
Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial systems almost invariably result in bubble formation, except under ...

Calotropis procera Latex Extract as an Effective Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Acidic Medium: Experimental and Quantum Chemical Approaches

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, Calotropis procera latex extract (CPLE) was evaluated as an environmentally benign corrosion inhibition on mild steel in 1‐M HCl using gravimetric, electrochemical, surface, and computational approaches. The results revealed that CPLE exhibited an efficient corrosion inhibitor with the efficiency of 94.26% and 93.10% at 200‐ppm ...

On the tear resistance of skin. [PDF]

, 2015
Tear resistance is of vital importance in the various functions of skin, especially protection from predatorial attack. Here, we mechanistically quantify the extreme tear resistance of skin and identify the underlying structural features, which lead to ...

Interplay between Lithium Intercalation and Plating during Fast Charging of Lithium‐Ion Batteries Investigated by Operando NMR Spectroscopy

Batteries &Supercaps, EarlyView.
Lithium plating is investigated using operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and a three‐electrode design. The onset of plating occurs at a negative potential below −100 mV, while NMR spectra offer insights on the competition between graphite lithiation, plating, and re‐intercalation during charging.

Gastrointestinal infection in a New Zealand community : a one year study : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1996
Diagnostic medical microbiology laboratories detect and identify pathogens in submitted specimens. The techniques used should maximise the detection of pathogens (sensitivity) while minimising the number of tests for their detection (efficiency).

Age Estimation From Blood Test Results Using a Random Forest Model

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
From the perspective of preventive medicine, it is essential to clarify the relationship between medical examination data and aging and health problems. We successfully and accurately estimated age from clinical examination data using a random forest model. Postmenopausal women tended to have higher age estimates than premenopausal women.

Field investigation of Trypanosoma evansi and comparative analysis of diagnostic tests in horses from Bahawalpur, Pakistan [PDF]

, 2017
In order to assess the prevalence of Trypanosoma evansi, a parasitological, molecular, and serological-based investigation was carried out in randomly sampled horses (n = 375) belonging to different age groups, sexes, and localities from the district of ...

Atopic Dermatitis in Childhood and Biomarkers of Male Reproductive Health: A Danish National Birth Cohort Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
This study found no indication of an adverse effect of childhood atopic dermatitis on biomarkers of male reproductive health. On the contrary, we observed some indications of slightly higher sperm concentration and lower follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
