Association between urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio within normal range and kidney stones in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional observational study by Yuan-Zhuo Du, Yuan-Zhuo Du, Chi-Teng Zhang, De-Ming Zeng, Yong Li, Yi-Fu Liu

“…Specifically, individuals in the highest quartile of UACR had a 36% higher odds of kidney stones compared to those in the lowest quartile (OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.04-1.77). A non-linear, dose-response relationship was observed between UACR levels and kidney stone risk (P &lt; 0.001), with the association remaining consistent across various demographic subgroups.ConclusionElevated UACR levels, even within the normal range, are strongly associated with a higher risk of kidney stones. …”

Automated Area Calculation of Histopathologic Features Using SIVQ by Jason Hipp, Jerome Cheng, Stephanie Daignault, Jefferey Sica, Michael C. Dugan, David Lucas, Yukako Yagi, Stephen Hewitt, Ulysses J. Balis

“…While whole slide imaging (WSI) technology holds the potential to offer many improvements in clinical workflow over conventional slide microscopy including unambiguous utility for facilitating quantitative diagnostic tasks with one important example being the determination of both linear dimension and surface area. However, the availability of histology data in digital form is of little utility if time-consuming and cumbersome manual workflow steps are necessarily imposed upon the pathologist in order to generate such measurements, especially as encountered with the complex and ill-defined shapes inherent to infiltrative tumors. …”

Occupational pesticide exposure and cognitive impairment among adult farmers in northern Thailand by Nichapa Phitsadang, Warangkana Naksen, Parichat Ong-Artborirak

“…Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient showed that the MoCA score was adversely correlated with lifetime application days (r s = -0.145), PPE score (r s = -0.163), exposure intensity score (r s = -0.184), and pesticide exposure score (r s = -0.225). Linear regression revealed that high exposed farmers had significantly lower MoCA scores than low exposed farmers, as measured by PPE score (B = -0.75; 95% CI: -1.46, -0.05), exposure intensity score (B = -0.97; 95% CI: -1.66, -0.27), and pesticide exposure score (B = -0.77; 95% CI: -1.47, -0.06), after controlling for sex, age, education, income sufficiency, and body mass index. …”
