Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has one of the highest hospital readmission rates among chronic conditions.
We developed a highly sensitive, convenient assay for measuring blocking-type anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies, which inhibit the binding of 125I-labeled alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BuTx) to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR).
Background: Atrial remodeling associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to be a risk factor for significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR),...
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a leading cause of admission in emergency departments (ED).
Aims: To evaluate in a real-world setting the effectiveness of exenatide once-weekly (ExQW) in patients with T2D and to determine predictors of glycaemic and weight response to this drug at 6 months.
Background: Benralizumab is an anti-eosinophilic, anti-interleukin-5 receptor α monoclonal antibody that has been shown to significantly reduce asthma exacerbations and improve lung function for patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma.
Overlapping complementary DNA clones were isolated from epithelial cell libraries with a genomic DNA segment containing a portion of the putative cystic fibrosis (CF) locus, which is on chromosome 7.
Background: Hospitalisation is often harmful for people with dementia and results in high societal costs, so avoidance of unnecessary admissions is a global priority. However, no intervention has yet reduced admissions of community-dwelling people with dementia.
Desmopressin increases endogenous factor VIII levels in hemophilia A. Large inter-individual variation in the response to desmopressin is observed. Patients with a lower baseline factor VIII activity tend to show a reduced response...
Background: Lifetime lung function is related to quality of life and longevity. Over the lifespan, individuals follow different lung function trajectories.
