Assessing multiple-group diagnostic problems with multi-dimensional receiver operating characteristic surfaces: Application to proton MR Spectroscopy (MRS) in HIV-related neurological injury
(2008)We present the multi-dimensional Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) surface, a plot of the true classification rates of tests based on levels of biological markers, for multi-group discrimination, as an extension of ... -
Assessing performance in pre-season wrestling athletes using biomarkers
(2018)Introduction: Although regular training introduces the desired changes in athletes’ metabolism towards optimal final performance, literature is rarely focusing on the metabolic responses off-competition. Therefore, the aim ... -
Effect of storage time on the urine protein: creatinine ratio in alkaline ovine urine
(2021)The urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio is considered the reference method to assess proteinuria. Its diagnostic value in ovine medicine needs further elucidation. In population monitoring and/or for research purposes, ... -
Effects of Alpha-lipoic Acid Supplementation on Human Diabetic Nephropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2022)Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is kidney dysfunction, which occurs due to elevated urine albumin excretion rate and reduced glomerular filtration rate. Studies on animals have shown that alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) ... -
Evaluation of Heller's reaction and the urine dipstick method alone or in combination to detect proteinuria in sheep
(2022)Background: Urine dipstick and Heller's reaction are easy first-line screening tests for the detection of proteinuria; however, the performance of these methods in alkaline ovine urine is largely unknown. Objective: The ... -
Evaluation of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of aminosidine (paromomycin)-allopurinol combination in dogs with leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum: A randomized, blinded, controlled study
(2019)Canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a widespread zoonotic disease. Although aminosidine can be an effective treatment, current therapeutic recommendations do not advocate its use, mainly due to concerns ... -
Histopathological evaluation and redox assessment in blood and kidney tissues in a rabbit contrast-induced nephrotoxicity model
(2017)Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury as a result of iodinated contrast-media use for diagnostic purposes. Pathophysiology remains unclear. In the present study ... -
Renal biomarkers and outcomes in outpatients with heart failure: The Atlanta cardiomyopathy consortium
(2016)Background/objectives Cystatin-C and beta-2-microglobulin may be superior to serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), or estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) in patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF). We ... -
Urine protein-to-creatinine ratio in cattle with subclinical renal disease
(2020)Background: Urinalysis is not routinely used in bovine medicine, and there is no evidence as to whether urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC) could be used for the diagnosis of renal diseases in cattle. Objective: The ...
