BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperuricemia often coexist and both conditions are increasing in prevalence in the U.S., although their shared role on cardiovascular risk remains highly debated.
STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional and longitudinal
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1988 to...
Recent evidence has demonstrated the importance of kidney function in healthy aging. We examined the association between kidney function and change in cognitive function in 3,907 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study, recruited from 4 U.S. communities, and studied from 1992 - 1999. Kidney function was measured by cystatin C-based...
OBJECTIVE: The associations of some risk factors with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are attenuated in
older age; whereas others appear robust. The present study aimed to compare CVD risk factors across
older age. METHODS: Participants (n = 4883) in the Cardiovascular Health Study free of prevalent CVD,
were stratified into three...

Blood, liver, kidney, femur, and ovaries were assayed
from female Wistar rats following oral administration of
uranyl nitrate. Three uranium concentrations were
studied for six time periods ranging from 4 hours to 240
hours following gavage. Uranium burdens of tissues were
determined by neutron activation and delayed fission

We examined the nutrient intake of women with rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) before and after initiation of treatment with arthritis medication.
Results of past (before taking arthritis medication) and present diets of RA
subjects were compared to the past and present diets of the non-RA group.
Subjects with RA were 19...
