Pretenders and Contenders: Inflammation, C‐Reactive Protein, and Interleukin‐6
T he initiation of atherosclerosis and its progression to an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are intricate processes with many factors, but one central factor is inflammation. Interleukin-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine that may have a role in the initiation, progression, and vulnerability of atherosclerotic lesions. Interleukin-6 works upstream of CRP (C-reactive protein) and downstream of inter...
متن کاملSeparating the contenders from the pretenders: competitive high-throughput biomarker screening in large population-based studies.
Despite great enthusiasm for biomarkers as tools to enhance risk prediction and to lead the way in a transformation towards personalized cardiovascular medicine, progress in the biomarker field has been painstakingly slow, particularly in the area of population screening. Some individual biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) have demonstrated consistent associations with incident cardiova...
متن کاملGenerating Contenders
In Optimality Theory, a contender is a candidate that is optimal under some ranking of the constraints. When the candidate generating function Gen and all of the constraints are rational (i.e., representable with (weighted) finite state automata) it is possible to generate the entire set of contenders for a given input form in much the same way that optima for a single ranking are generated. Th...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in hemodialysis patients
Background: Hemodialysis patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher than expected cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population has been attributed to dislipidemia as well as inflammation. The causes of inflammation in hemodialysis patients are multifactorial. Several markers were used for the detection of inflammatory reaction in patients with chronic renal dise...
