Is there a correlation between C-reactive protein and calcification inhibitors with cardiovascular parameters and risk factors in hemodialysis patients?
The lack of correlation of calcification inhibitors with PWV and IMT means that functional and morphological measurements of vascular properties can not necessarily be replaced by analysing "biomarkers".
Non-dominant hand function is improved by increased excitability of the motor cortex. Although motor cortex excitability is decreased in a healthy person, non-dominant hand function is maintained. A homeostatic mechanism in the brain might therefore be involved in preserving this function. Further studies are warranted to examine brain functions to clarify this mechanism.
