Influence of physical fitness on cardio-metabolic risk factors in European children : the IDEFICS study
...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess the associations of individual and combined physical fitness components with single and clustering of cardio-metabolic risk factors in children. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This 2-year longitudinal study included a total of 1635 European children aged 6-11 years. The test battery included cardio-respiratory fitne...

Clinicopathological findings in horses with a bi- or tripartite navicular bone
Background: Navicular bone partition is a rare condition reported in horses, which is during the evaluation of a lameness or prepurchase examination often misinterpreted for a parasagittal fracture. In this report, the clinicopathological findings of three cases of navicular bone partition are evaluated. The possible pathomechanisms underlying the ...
Polyhydramnios, transient antenatal Bartter's syndrome, and MAGED2 mutations
...
BACKGROUND : Three' pregnancies with male offspring in one family were complicated by severe polyhydramnios and prematurity. One fetus died; the other two had transient massive salt-wasting and polyuria reminiscent of antenatal Bartter's syndrome. METHODS : To uncover the molecular cause of this possibly X-linked disease, we performed whole-exome s...
Development of a MALDI MS-based platform for early detection of acute kidney injury
...
PURPOSE: Septic acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with poor outcome. This can partly be attributed to delayed diagnosis and incomplete understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. Our aim was to develop an early predictive test for AKI based on the analysis of urinary peptide biomarkers by MALDI-MS. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Urine samples from...

Cortisol directly impacts Flavobacterium columnare in vitro growth characteristics
Teleost fish faced with stressful stimuli launch an endocrine stress response through activation of the hypothalamicpituitary-interrenal axis to release glucocorticoids, in particular cortisol, into the blood. For the majority of bacterial fish pathogens, stress is considered a key factor in disease outbreaks. Based upon studies in mammals, there i...
Comorbidities and factors associated with central nervous system infections and death in non-perinatal listeriosis : a c...
Background: Listeriosis is a rare disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and mainly affects at risk people. Listeriosis can lead to sepsis, central nervous system (CNS) infections and death. The objectives of this study were to describe and quantify comorbidities and neurological sequelae underlying non-perinatal listeriosis cases a...
Levels of indoxyl sulfate in kidney transplant patients, and the relationship with hard outcomes
...
Background: Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a protein-bound uremic toxin that is known to be associated with the risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease and death in both predialysis and dialysis patients. Data on levels of protein-bound uremic toxins in kidney transplant patients are scarce. The study's objective was to evaluate the levels of IS in kidney tra...
