SERUM URIC ACID: A FUTILE BYSTANDER IN ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION?

Serum uric acid: a futile bystander in endothelial function?

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid levels and endothelial function, oxidative stress, and hemodynamic parameters, and to determine if uric acid levels provide additional insights beyond traditional factors like ageing and hypertension in volunteers with low cardiovascular risk factors.Serum uric acid is

Cranial Anatomy of Wendiceratops pinhornensis gen. et sp. nov., a Centrosaurine Ceratopsid (Dinosauria: Ornithischia) from the Oldman Formation (Campanian), Alberta, Canada, and the Evolution of Ceratopsid Nasal Ornamentation.

The fossil record of ceratopsid dinosaurs between the occurrence of their proximate sister taxa in the Turonian and the beginning of their well-documented radiation from the late Campanian of North America onwards (approximately 90 and 77 Ma) is poor, with only seven taxa described from this early period in their evolution.We describe a new taxon o

Predictor index of functional limb length discrepancy

Introduction: Limb length discrepancy (LLD) of lower extremities is underdiagnosed due to compensatory mechanisms during locomotion.The natural course of compensation leads to biomechanical alteration in human musculoskeletal system leading to adverse effects.General consensus accepts LLD more than 2 cm as significant to cause biomechanical alterat
