converted_248 | Is low T3 syndrome a prognostic marker in patients with renal insufficiency? | Low T3 was particularly common (44.3 %), and clearly associated with increased 6- and 12-month mortality and decreased overall survival (log rank test, P=0.007). , Increased rT3 may be more common in ESRD patients than previously described, and together with decreased T3 it may serve as an indicator of poor prognosis i... | yes |
converted_1623 | Is the Histidine-Rich Calcium Binding protein (HRC) related to arrhythmias and cardiac disease? | A human genetic variant (Ser96Ala) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) histidine-rich Ca(2+)-binding (HRC) protein has been linked to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death in dilated cardiomyopathy. , These findings suggest that aberrant SR Ca2+ release and increased susceptibility to delayed afterdepolarizations unde... | yes |
converted_1551 | Can we use platelet biomarkers to study Alzheimer's disease? | Platelet biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease., platelets are the most important source of circulating forms of the amyloid precursor protein and other important proteins such as Tau and glycogen synthase kinase-3B., Alternative plasma and platelet measures are described,, The success of these studies led to the applicati... | yes |
converted_1156 | Is armodafinil used for treatment of insomnia? | Other therapies, such as sedative hypnotics, target daytime insomnia, while pharmacologic agents such as modafinil, armodafinil, and caffeine and non-pharmacologic approaches such as napping promote nighttime alertness., Other treatment options may include pharmacologic interventions such as modafinil and armodafinil,... | no |
