AMPK Activation Attenuates Albumin-induced Alterations in Renal Tubular Cells In Vitro by Allouch, Soumaya

“…Moreover, higher concentrations of albumin, particularly 30 mg/ml, caused severe induction of ER stress and EMT, marked by 20-fold increase in CHOP and 6-fold increase in a-SMA respectively. Similarly, the phosphorylation of AKT and P70S6K (a downstream target of mTOR) was increased by more than 1.5-fold in cells subjected to albumin treatment. …”

Overconfident results with the bivariate random effects model for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies by Furuya-Kanamori, Luis

“…Diaz found that the performance of the bivariate model deteriorates when between-study heterogeneity increases and the number of studies decrease.5 Our simulation studies found similar results—with moderate levels of heterogeneity (tau2 = 1), the coverage probabilities of Se, Sp, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with the bivariate model dropped below the nominal level.6 Diagnostic accuracy studies usually favor sensitivity over specificity, or vice versa leading to diagnostic 2 × 2 tables with one or more of the cells with low frequency or zero counts. …”
