Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis/stratification are a "Holy Grail" of AD research and intensively sought; however, there are no well-established plasma markers. A hypothesis-led plasma biomarker search was conducted in the context of international multicenter studies. The discovery
Achieving calcium, phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) targets helps improve dialysis population outcomes. We aimed to assess the population-level associations of achievement of those targets with survival using population-attributable-fractions (PAFs). We conducted a case-cohort study using data from 8229

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is increasingly responsible for hospital-acquired infections. The increasing prevalence of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii has left clinicians with limited treatment options. Last line antimicrobials (i.e., polymyxins and glycylcyclines) are often used as treatment
Single preoperative biliary drainage for malignant perihilar biliary stricture occasionally fails to control jaundice and cholangitis. Multiple biliary drainage is required in such cases, but their clinical background is unclear. We determined the clinical characteristics associated with the requirement for
