Symmetrical Dimethylarginine Predicts Mortality in the General Population

Symmetrical dimethylarginine predicts mortality in the general population: observations from the Dallas heart study.

OBJECTIVE Increased asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), a NO synthase inhibitor, and its congener symmetrical dimethylarginine (SDMA), predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in at-risk populations. Their prognostic value in the general population remains uncertain. We investigated the correlations of SDMA and ADMA with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular/all-cause mortality in the Dall...

Urinary Albumin Excretion Predicts Cardiovascular and Noncardiovascular Mortality in General Population

Background—For the general population, the clinical relevance of an increased urinary albumin excretion rate is still debated. Therefore, we examined the relationship between urinary albumin excretion and all-cause mortality and mortality caused by cardiovascular (CV) disease and non-CV disease in the general population. Methods and Results—In the period 1997 to 1998, all inhabitants of the cit...

Acetabular Fractures in the Senior Population– Epidemiology, Mortality and Treatments

Background:Management of acetabular fractures in the senior population can be one of the most challenging injuries tomanage. Furthermore, treating surgeons have a paucity of information to guide the treatment in this patient population.The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) demographic and epidemiologic data, (2) mortality rates for nonoperativecompared to operative management at diffe...
