Is LDL-C passed its prime? The emerging role of non-HDL, LDL-P, and ApoB in CHD risk assessment.
Recently, my son, an internal medicine resident of a major academic medical center, called to ask my advice about a patient in the hospital. The case involved a 52-year-old female with type 2 diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoker with an LDL-C of 95 mg/dL, an HDL of 32 mg/dL, and triglycerides of 300 mg/dL. He wanted to initiate statin therapy, but both his senior residents and attending physicia...
متن کاملASSOCIATED PRIME IDEALS IN C(X)
The minimal prime decomposition for semiprime ideals is defined and studied on z-ideals of C(X). The necessary and sufficient condition for existence of the minimal prime decomposition of a z-ideal / is given, when / satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) / is an intersection of maximal ideals. (ii) I is an intersection of O , s, when X is basically disconnected. (iii) I=O , when x X h...
متن کاملAre measurements of LDL particles ready for prime time?
In this issue of Clinical Chemistry, Ensign et al. (1 ) report on the differences in 4 methods commonly used to assess LDL subfractions or particles. The results are both interesting and deeply disturbing. In a careful, well-planned study, Ensign and colleagues prospectively and simultaneously collected blood samples as required for each method. Sample analyses by 3 of the methods in question, ...
متن کاملLDL-C/HDL-C Ratio Predicts Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Progression Better Than HDL-C or LDL-C Alone
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are strong predictors of atherosclerosis. Statin-induced changes in the ratio of LDL-C to HDL-C (LDL-C/HDL-C) predicted atherosclerosis progression better than LDL-C or HDL-C alone. However, the best predictor of subclinical atherosclerosis remains unknown. Our objective was to investigate this issue by...
متن کاملDonor deferral registries: an ineffective system whose time is passed.
D onor deferral registries (DDRs) were initially set in place at blood collection agencies, and at the state level in some areas, in the 1970s. The intent of having DDRs was to detect individuals who should not donate blood, blood components, or plasma whether due to risk factors, known transfusion-transmissible infections, or reactive blood screening results. There were never any data to suppo...
