Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-Free DNA as a Noninvasive Acute Rejection Marker in Renal Transplantation
Vanessa García Moreira,Belén Prieto García,Jose M. Baltar Martín,Francisco Ortega Suárez,Francisco V. Álvarez +4 more
TL;DR: Analysis of both plasma tCF-DNA and procalcitonin (PCT), a specific marker of sepsis, significantly improved the diagnostic specificity and could permit a more selective use of this invasive procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population-Based Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in Northern Spain The Asturias Study
TL;DR: Stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis showed that, together with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-h plasma glucose, which were the strongest predictors of diabetes, triglycerides and BMI were also independently associated with progression to diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salicylic acid production by electrodialysis with bipolar membranes
Francisco V. Álvarez,Ricardo Alvarez,José Coca,Jacqueline Sandeaux,Roger Sandeaux,Claude Gavach +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of two commercial bipolar membranes (Tokuyama Soda and Stantech membranes) were compared for salicylic acid and caustic soda production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of cell-free plasma DNA, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein as markers of infection in febrile patients
TL;DR: Normal concentrations of CF-DNA can exclude the presence of an infection in febrile patients, and very high concentrations stratify the severity of infections, showing a high prognostic value to predict mortality in the absence of other causes for elevated CF- DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
New biomarkers in diagnosis of early onset preeclampsia and imminent delivery prognosis.
Indira Álvarez-Fernández,Belén Prieto,Verónica Rodríguez,Yolanda Ruano,Ana I Escudero,Francisco V. Álvarez +5 more
TL;DR: The new cut-off values for the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio adjusted by the gestational age at clinical presentation can be used to rule out PE at obstetric triage and to predict imminent delivery with better accuracy than the cutpoint currently accepted.
