Association Between Genotypes and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis).

Journal of the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND: genetic variants confer an increased risk for kidney disease. Their associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are less certain. We aimed to compare the prevalence of subclinical CVD and incidence of atherosclerotic CVD and heart fai...

Urinary exosomal viral microRNA as a marker of BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Bkv-miR-B1-5p, one of the microRNAs encoded by BK virus, was recently reported to be elevated in the blood among the patients with BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). Urinary exosome was suggested to be a possible source of biomarker for kidney d...

Serum vitamin D deficiency and risk of hospitalization for heart failure: Prospective results from the Moli-sani study.

Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evidence indicates that Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, although findings on risk of heart failure (HF) are controversial. We investigated the relationship between serum Vitam...

Vitamin D Deficiency and Atopic Dermatitis: Consider Disease, Race, and Body Mass.
