Detection of C-Peptide in Urine as a Measure of Ongoing Beta Cell Function.
(Springer, 2016-04-16)C-peptide is a protein secreted by the pancreatic beta cells in equimolar quantities with insulin, following the cleavage of proinsulin into insulin. Measurement of C-peptide is used as a surrogate marker of endogenous ... -
Diagnostic accuracy of post-mortem CT with targeted coronary angiography versus autopsy for coroner-requested post-mortem investigations: a prospective, masked, comparison study.
(Elsevier, 2017-07-08)England and Wales have one of the highest frequencies of autopsy in the world. Implementation of post-mortem CT (PMCT), enhanced with targeted coronary angiography (PMCTA), in adults to avoid invasive autopsy would have ... -
Uterine Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors Frequently Harbor ALK Fusions With IGFBP5 and THBS1.
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017-06)Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) can occur in a number of anatomic sites, including the uterus. Like its soft tissue counterpart, uterine IMT frequently expresses ALK and harbors ALK genetic rearrangements. The aim ... -
The Value of Coenzyme Q10 Determination in Mitochondrial Patients.
(MDPI, 2017-03-24)Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) is a lipid that is ubiquitously synthesized in tissues and has a key role in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Its biochemical determination provides insight into the CoQ status of tissues and may ... -
The cancer-associated cell migration protein TSPAN1 is under control of androgens and its upregulation increases prostate cancer cell migration.
(Nature, 2017-07-12)Cell migration drives cell invasion and metastatic progression in prostate cancer and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. However the mechanisms driving cell migration in prostate cancer patients are not fully ... -
Endometrial cytopathology. An image analysis approach using the Ki-67 biomarker.
(Wiley, 2017-10)To investigate the different identity and biological behaviour of endometrial benign epithelial and endometrial adenocarcinoma cell categories. -
Stability of urinary albumin and creatinine after 12 months storage at -20 °C and -80 °C.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-22)Increasing albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) within the normal range is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the general population. Clinical and epidemiological studies often store urine samples for long durations ... -
Pathological chemotherapy response score is prognostic in tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data
(Elsevier, 2019-08)There is a need to develop and validate biomarkers for treatment response and survival in tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). The chemotherapy response score (CRS) stratifies patients into complete/near-complete ... -
A high-sensitivity electrochemiluminescence-based ELISA for the measurement of the oxidative stress biomarker, 3-nitrotyrosine, in human blood serum and cells.
(Elsevier, 2018-03-17)The generation of 3-nitrotyrosine, within proteins, is a post-translational modification resulting from oxidative or nitrative stress. It has been suggested that this modification could be used as a biomarker for inflammatory ...
