IGF-1 Levels In Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas

IGF-1 Levels In Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas Overview This study investigated elevated insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in children with low-grade glioma (LGG). Elevated IGF-1 levels in LGG are not well understood. The research aimed to determine the prevalence, connections with growth, body mass index (BMI), pituitary function, and tumor behavior in

Sarcopenia And Chronic Kidney Disease

Sarcopenia And Chronic Kidney Disease Overview Sarcopenia and frailty are common conditions among people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which may further enhance their risk of developing adverse health complications. Only a few studies have demonstrated the association between sarcopenia, frailty and chronic kidney disease in patients who are not on dialysis.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Diagnosis Using Nerve Ultrasonography

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Diagnosis Using Nerve Ultrasonography Overview The conventional diagnostic modality for diabetic peripheral neuropathy is via the use of nerve conduction studies (NCS), however, this investigation does not evaluate or demonstrate the structure of the nerve. This research was aimed at investigating the use of peripheral nerve ultrasonography as a

COPD Risk With Diabetes And Pre-Diabetes
