13. Serum Prealbumin: a potential predictor of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Prealbumin has been a reliable marker to predict protein energy malnutrition and hypercatabolic state. In this analysis, we particularly aimed to investigate the potential association between serum prealbumin levels and right ventricular dysfunction in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis. METHODS: A total of 57 subjects were inclu

15. Effects of perilipin-5 on lipid metabolism and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Heart attack is one of the most common causes of sudden death in adults. Therefore, early detection of heart attack and investigation of potential new biomarkers are of great importance. We investigated whether perilipin-5 is a potential biomarker by examining changes in perilipin-5 serum levels along with high-sensitivity cardiac troponi

16. Lipoprotein apheresis efficacy and challenges: single center experience
Abstract Introduction Lipoprotein apheresis (LA) is an extracorporeal therapy which removes apolipoprotein B-containing particles from the circulation. We evaluated techniques and efficiency of lipoprotein apheresis procedures applied to patients with familial and non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) at our center. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 25

17. Elevated levels of interleukin-18 are associated with several indices of general and visceral adiposity and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective: Our aim was to analyze levels of proinflammatory biomarker interleukin-18 (IL-18) in healthy controls and patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) focusing on its association with obesity, clinical, hormonal, and metabolic characteristics. Subjects and methods: Fifty-eight patients with PCOS were enrolled in the study fulfilling t

18. Efficacy of cabergoline add-on therapy in patients with acromegaly resistance to somatostatin analogs treatment and the review of literature
ABSTRACT Objective: It is reported that adding cabergoline to somatostatin analog (SSA) normalizes IGF-1 levels approximately in one-third of patients with acromegaly. We investigated the effect of combination therapy and potential predictors of response in patients with acromegaly who do not respond to SSA therapy alone. Subjects and methods: Fifty acrome

19. FGF23 levels as a marker of physical performance and falls in community-dwelling very old individuals
ABSTRACT Objective: The fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been related to biological aging, but data in elderly individuals are scant. We determined the profile of serum FGF23 levels in a population of very-old individuals and studied their correlations with parameters of bone metabolism and health markers, as functional performance. Materials and me

20. Interleukin-17A in Egyptian leprosy patients: a clinical, genetic, and biochemical study
Abstract Background: Leprosy represents a long-term communicable disease resulting from Mycobacterium leprae infection. IL-17A is one of the pro-inflammatory cytokines that protects humans against many fungal and bacterial pathogens. Objective: To investigate IL-17A (rs2275913) gene polymorphism and its circulating level in leprosy patients, and to correla

21. Prognostic assessment of tumor markers in lung carcinomas
SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Serum tumor markers are molecules that are secreted by tumor cells and may be present in small amounts in the serum of healthy individuals. Their role as prognostic factors in lung cancer remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic role of CEA, CA 19-9, CA 15-3, and CA 125 in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. PATI

22. A rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy: hypocalcemia
SUMMARY Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by systolic dysfunction and is usually idiopathic. A rare cause of reversible DCM is hypocalcemia. Calcium plays a key role in myocardial contraction. Hypocalcemia can lead to a decrease in contraction, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF). Hypocalce

23. Evaluation of Plasma Asprosin Concentration in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract Introduction: The goal of this study is to investigate the association between diagnosis and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and Asprosin level. Methods: Patients diagnosed with CAD who underwent conventional coronary angiography for the first time were included in the present study. The patients were divided into four groups, each consi

24. Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness and Omentin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract Background: Although electrical and structural remodeling has been recognized to be important in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation, the mechanisms underlying remodeling process are unknown. There has been increasing interest in the involvement of inflammatory molecules and adipokines released from the epicardial fat tissue in the pathophys
