Correlation between 18F-Sodium Fluoride positron emission tomography and bone histomorphometry in dialysis patients
<p><b>B</b>ackground</p><div><p>The diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy is challenging. Bone biopsy is the gold standard, but it is invasive and limited to one site of the skeleton. The ability of biomarkers to estimate the ...
Predicting Skeletal Muscle and Whole-Body Insulin Sensitivity Using NMR-Metabolomic Profiling
Purpose: Abnormal lipoprotein and amino acid profiles are associated with insulin resistance and may help to identify this condition. The aim of this study was to create models estimating skeletal muscle and whole-body ...
Bone Histomorphometry and 18F‑Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography Imaging: Comparison Between only Bone Turnover-based and Unified TMV-based Classification of Renal Osteodystrophy
Bone biopsy is the gold standard for characterization of renal osteodystrophy (ROD). However, the classification of the subtypes of ROD based on histomorphometric parameters is not unambiguous and the range of normal values ...
Novel Biomarkers for Diagnosing Periprosthetic Joint Infection from Synovial Fluid and Serum
<p>Background:<br>Synovial fluid bacterial culture is the cornerstone of confirmation or exclusion of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The aim of this study was to assess synovial fluid and serum biomarker patterns ...
The role of polygenic risk and susceptibility genes in breast cancer over the course of life
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for breast cancer have potential to improve risk prediction, but there is limited information on their utility in various clinical situations. Here we show that among 122,978 women in the FinnGen ...
Dietary Intervention in Infancy and Cognitive Function in Young Adulthood: The Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project
<p><strong>Objective: </strong>Consumption of saturated fatty acids (SAFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), cholesterol, and fiber have been linked with cognitive function in adults. We evaluated these associations ...
Excessive intravenous fluid therapy in head and neck cancer surgery
<h4>BACKGROUND: </h4><p>The purpose of this retrospective study was to present our assessment of modifiable perioperative factors for major cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).</p><h4>METHODS: </h4><p>This study ...
Utility of Different Blood Pressure Measurement Components in Childhood to Predict Adult Carotid Intima-Media Thickness
<p>Childhood blood pressure (BP) levels predict adult subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the best childhood BP component for prediction has not been determined. This study comprised 5925 participants aged 3 to 18 years ...
The Clinical Impact of Using 18F-FDG-PET/CT in the Diagnosis of Suspected Vasculitis: The Effect of Dose and Timing of Glucocorticoid Treatment
<p><sup>18</sup>F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (<sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET) with computed tomography (CT) is effective for diagnosing large vessel vasculitis, but its usefulness in accurately diagnosing ...
Atrial Fibrillation Detection via Accelerometer and Gyroscope of a Smartphone
<p>Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), which utilizes the built-in accelerometer and gyroscope sensors (Inertial Measurement Unit, IMU) in the detection. Depending on the patient’s situation,it is possible to use the developed ...
