With 1,300 beds and over 6,000 employees, the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid is one of the largest hospitals in Spain, serving a population of more than 500,000 people in and around the capital. It is an important teaching and research centre with a number of areas of expertise, including organ transplantation and […]
Autoantibody diagnostics have in recent years transformed the diagnosis of the rare kidney disease primary membranous nephropathy (MN). The identification of the target antigens M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type 1-domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) paved the way for the development of specific immunological assays to detect the corresponding antibodies. Determination of both anti-PLA2R and […]
We developed an ultrasensitive bioassay using micropatterned zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) for the multiplexed detection and quantification of trace levels of cytokines implicated in acute kidney injury (AKI) directly from patient samples. The remarkable limits of detection of the novel ZnO NR-based assay are compared directly with conventional methods. by Manpreet Singh, Anginelle Alabanza, […]
Acute kidney injury is a recognized complication in hospitalized patients and is associated with a high morbidity and high mortality. This brief article aims to summarize the need for early detection of acute kidney injury and the current approach within NHS England to identify such patients. by Charlotte Fairclough BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a […]
The aim of this study was to perform proteomic analysis of serum from pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) to identify candidate biomarker proteins, for use in early diagnosis and evaluation of treatment. This approach is an alternative to traditional techniques that can investigate the disease from another perspective. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is […]
Diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is conventionally based on direct staining and visualization. Challenges in obtaining alveolar samples have stimulated interest in techniques for detection of Pneumocystis DNA in non-invasive samples, which can give good sensitivity and specificity. Robust diagnosis is key to ensuring appropriate therapy. by Dr Farnaz Dave, Dr Ashley Horsley, Dr […]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent malignant neoplasm globally. In Europe CRC is the second most common cause of cancer death in women (breast cancer is the most common), and the third most common in men (after prostate and lung cancer). Data are similar from other Western countries. However if the condition is […]
