Background: Menopause driven decline in estrogen exposes women to risk of osteoporosis. Detection of early onset and silent progression are keys to prevent fractures and associated burdens.
Methods: In a discovery cohort of 120 postmenopausal women, we combined repeated quantitative pulse-echo ultrasonography of bone, assessment of grip strength and serum bone markers with mass-spectrometric analysis of exhaled metabolites to find breath volatile markers and quantitative cutoff levels for osteoporosis.
Purified Granulocyte Concentrates from Buffy Coats with Extended Storage Time.
Transfus Med Hemother
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Granulocyte concentrates (GCs) can be made from pooled buffy coats of whole blood donations, allowing for better availability and longer storage times compared to those made from single-donor apheresis, which can only last 24 hours.
- A process was developed to significantly reduce red blood cell and platelet contamination, extending the shelf life of GCs up to 72 hours while maintaining high cell viability (above 98%) and functionality (with over 95% rates of phagocytosis and oxidative burst).
- To produce a therapeutic dose of GCs, around 15-20 buffy coats are needed, offering a more efficient alternative for treatment compared to traditional methods.
Article Synopsis
- * Germany has taken a leading role in implementing telemedicine for CHF, resulting in improved patient quality of life and fewer hospitalizations, supported by governmental backing and substantial research evidence.
- * This review analyzes the evolution of telemonitoring for CHF in Germany, highlighting key studies and the journey towards integrating telemedicine into standard care for high-risk patients.
Otogenic brain abscess and concomitant acute COVID 19 infection - case report and review of the literature.
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg
November 2024
Background: COVID-19 has attracted global attention primarily because of the severe acute respiratory symptoms associated with it. However, nearly one third of the patients also present with neurologic symptoms. This report describes a case of a previously healthy woman with acute COVID-19 infection, who developed acute facial nerve palsy and rapid progression to coma due to otogenic brain abscess.
