Copeptin does not accurately predict disease severity in imported malaria.

Copeptin has recently been identified to be a stable surrogate marker for the unstable hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). Copeptin has been shown to correlate with disease severity in leptospirosis and bacterial sepsis. Hyponatraemia is common in severe imported malaria and dysregulation of AVP release has been hypothesized as an underlying pathophysiological mechanism. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of copeptin as a predictor of disease severity in imported malaria.

BRAHMS (tool)

RRID:SCR_015642

Simulation software that runs network simulations where the network is specified in its own format called SystemML. The components of the network can be implemented in C, C++, Python or Matlab and are used in SpineML_2_BRAHMS to provide a simulation back-end for SpineML models.
