TL;DR: In patients undergoing cardiac angiography, only those with pre-existing RI alone or combined with DM are at higher risk for acute contrast nephrotoxicity, according to a multivariate analysis.

TL;DR: Both indices should be useful in the evaluation and management of patients with IC and should be particularly useful in clinical trials of new therapies for this condition, where reliable, validated, and reproducible outcome measures are critically important.

TL;DR: Simultaneous intraesophageal impedance and pH measurement was used to evaluate the frequencies of postprandial acid and nonacid reflux before and after omeprazole administration and found it useful in evaluating the role of nonacid Reflux in symptoms that persist despite adequate acid suppression.

TL;DR: Examination of human adult tau from brain biopsies demonstrated that biopsy-derived tau is phosphorylated at most sites thought to be abnormally phosphorylate tau, suggesting that the down-regulation of phosphatases in the AD brain could lead to the generation of maximallyosphorylated PHF-tau that does not bind microtubules and aggregates as PHFs in neurofibrillary tangles and dystrophic neurites.

TL;DR: The enzyme pyruvate carboxylase is localized in astrocytes as visualized by immunofluorescence in sections of cerebellum and substantiates some recent hypotheses forAstrocyte functions, including CO2 fixation in the CNS and the replenishment of citric acid cycle intermediates by astroCytes as precursors for amino acid neurotransmitter pools.
