TL;DR: In this article, a longitudinal nationwide cohort study (Cardiovascular health study) was conducted to determine if cardiac troponin T (cTnT) measured by a highly sensitive assay would be detectable in the majority of community-dwelling older adults, and if serial measures were associated with risk of new-onset heart failure and cardiovascular death.

TL;DR: The risk of hyperkalemia is increased with CKD, and its occurrence increases the odds of mortality within 1 day of the event, underscore the importance of this metabolic disturbance as a threat to patient safety in CKD.

TL;DR: The excessive mortality associated with hypoglycemia makes this complication a significant threat to patient safety in CKD, and the odds of 1-d mortality were increased at all levels of hyp glucosecemia but attenuated in CKd versus no CKD.

TL;DR: The measurement of altered miRNA expression in sputum could be a useful noninvasive approach for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

TL;DR: The plasma miRNAs provide potential circulating biomarkers for noninvasively diagnosing lung cancer among individuals with SPNs, and could be further evaluated in clinical trials.
