Real-world epidemiology of potassium derangements among chronic cardiovascular, metabolic and renal conditions: a population-based analysis
(Dovepress, 2020)
Background: The aims of the present analysis are to estimate the prevalence of five key chronic cardiovascular, metabolic and renal conditions at the population level, the prevalence of renin–angioten ...
Clinical significance of indeterminate quantiFERON-TB Gold plus assay results in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with severe hyperinflammatory syndrome
(MDPI, 2021)
Performance of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) assay could be affected by conditions of immune dysregulation. Little is known about the reliability of QTF-Plus in COVID-19 patients. Our aim was ...
Predicting clinical outcome with phenotypic clusters in COVID-19 pneumonia: an analysis of 12,066 hospitalized patients from the spanish registry SEMI-COVID-19
(MDPI, 2020)
(1) Background: Different clinical presentations in COVID-19 are described to date, from mild to severe cases. This study aims to identify different clinical phenotypes in COVID-19 pneumonia using cluster ...
Gender differences in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia severity
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Background: Gender differences in organ involvement and clinical severity have been poorly described in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The aim of this study was to describe differences in ...
Risk categories in COVID-19 based on degrees of inflammation: data on more than 17,000 patients from the spanish SEMI-COVID-19 registry
(MDPI, 2021)
(1) Background: The inflammation or cytokine storm that accompanies COVID-19 marks the prognosis. This study aimed to identify three risk categories based on inflammatory parameters on admission. (2) ...
Genetic screening for TLR7 variants in young and previously healthy men with severe COVID-19
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Introduction: Loss-of-function TLR7 variants have been recently reported in a small number of males to underlie strong predisposition to severe COVID-19. We aimed to determine the presence of these rare ...
Association between kidney function, nutritional status and anthropometric measures in older people: the screening for CKD among older people across Europe (SCOPE) study
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-02)
Background: Different mechanisms connect the nutritional status with the occurrence and the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The end-stage renal disease is complicated by catabolic inflammatory ...
Real-world epidemiology of potassium derangements among chronic cardiovascular, metabolic and renal conditions: a population-based analysis
(Dovepress, 2020-09-11)
Background: The aims of the present analysis are to estimate the prevalence of five key chronic cardiovascular, metabolic and renal conditions at the population level, the prevalence of renin–angioten ...
Physicochemical properties of lipoproteins assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance as a predictor of premature cardiovascular disease. PRESARV-SEA study
(MDPI, 2021)
Some lipoprotein disorders related to the residual risk of premature cardiovascular disease (PCVD) are not detected by the conventional lipid profile. In this case-control study, the predictive power ...
Implication between genetic variants from APOA5 and ZPR1 and NAFLD severity in patients with hypertriglyceridemia
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Lipid metabolism disorders, especially hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), are risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the association between genetic factors related ...
