Measuring three factors can predict women’s 30-year risk for heart disease
A single combined measure of three modifiable biomarkers in healthy women at midlife was predictive of 30-year risk for future cardiovascular events, according to new research presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.
CRP-albumin ratio, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio predict persistent JIA disease activity
It may be possible to forecast persistent disease activity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis using C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, according to data published in BMC Rheumatology.
