Background: Current evidence suggests that gout is an independent risk factor for excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; yet, suboptimal care for patients with gout in primary care persists. We aimed to identify risk factors specific to these...

Saliva is increasingly promoted as a suitable alternative diagnostic bio-sample to blood, yet its role in respiratory disease is still to be elucidated. Salivary levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Procalcitonin (PCT) and Neutrophil Elastase (NE)...
