Urea Biosensor Based on a Field‐Effect Capacitor Modified With a Stacked Weak Polyelectrolyte/Enzyme Bilayer

Electrochemical Science Advances, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urea is formed from the metabolism of proteins and used as a biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions. In this work, a urea biosensor based on an electrolyte‐insulator‐semiconductor capacitor (EISCAP) modified with a stacked polyelectrolyte polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH)/urease bilayer prepared by the layer‐by ...

Fasting plasma glucose performs better than glycated hemoglobin and glycated albumin for diagnosing gestational diabetes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Universal screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has been recommended. In resource‐poor environments, OGTTs are only administered to high‐risk cases. In countries such as South Africa, where female obesity is common, this translates into high numbers of tests.

Relationships among urinary protein‐to‐creatinine ratio, urine specific gravity, and bacteriuria in canine urine samples

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Proteinuria is a marker of chronic kidney disease in dogs and a risk factor for increased morbidity and death. Predictive models using the results of readily available screening tests could foster early recognition.

Correlation Between Bladder Debris and Abnormal Urinalysis: Health Warnings and Research Prospects in Elderly Patients

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ultrasound‐detected bladder debris is hypothesized to reflect urinary tract inflammation or infection, yet its clinical significance in older adults, a population with high asymptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) rates and diagnostic challenges, remains poorly characterized.

Diagnostic work-up of urinary tract infections in pregnancy: study protocol of a prospective cohort study

BMJ Open, 2022
Introduction Symptoms of urinary tract infections in pregnant women are often less specific, in contrast to non-pregnant women where typical clinical symptoms of a urinary tract infection are sufficient to diagnose urinary tract infections.

Atherosclerosis after pre‐eclampsia: systematic review and meta‐analysis

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pre‐eclampsia complicates up to 8% of pregnancies and is associated with increased risk of ischemic cardiac and cerebral disease, which may be prevented through management of cardiovascular risk when early disease stages are detected.

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
