BACKGROUND: Several neuromuscular disorders present muscle fatigue as a typical symptom. Therefore, a reliable method of fatigue assessment may be crucial for understanding how specific disease features evolve over time and for developing effective r...
Patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) often present with symptoms that must be differentiated from sepsis. Procalcitonin (PCT) and presepsin (P-SEP) are widely used as biomarkers for sepsis; therefore, we examined the serum PCT and P-SEP...
Over the last four decades, there has been a pursuit for a non-invasive solution for glucose measurement, but there is not yet any viable product released. Of the many sensor modalities tried, the combination of electrical and optical measurement is ...
BACKGROUND: Phenoconversion is a phenomenon whereby some genotypic extensive metabolizers transiently exhibit drug metabolizing enzyme activity at similar level as that of poor metabolizers. Renal failure is known to decrease CYP3A activity in humans...
