New preclinical biomarkers for prion diseases in the cerebrospinal fluid proteome revealed by mass spectrometry.

Current diagnostic methods for prion diseases only work in late stages of the disease when neurodegeneration is irreversible. Therefore, biomarkers that can detect the disease before the onset of clinical symptoms are necessary. High-throughput discovery proteomics is of great interest in the search for such molecules.

Discovery, characterization, and synthetic potential of two novel bacterial aryl-alcohol oxidases.

The search for novel synthetic tools to prepare industrial chemicals in a safer and greener manner is a continuing challenge in synthetic chemistry. In this manuscript, we report the discovery, characterization, and synthetic potential of two novel aryl-alcohol oxidases from bacteria which are able to oxidize a variety of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols with efficiencies up to 4970 min mM. Both enzymes have shown a reasonable thermostability (thermal melting temperature values of 50.

Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy with hepatic arterial versus intravenous infusion in metastatic colorectal cancer.

Background: Oxaliplatin, a major drug in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), is responsible for cumulative, dose-limiting peripheral neuropathy (PN). Whether the hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) route can limit oxaliplatin-induced PN in comparison with the intravenous (IV) route has not been specifically explored so far.

Methods: We compared the frequency and severity of PN in oxaliplatin-naive patients with mCRC included in trials that evaluated treatment with oxaliplatin administered either by HAI (ACCORD 04, CHOICE, OSCAR, and PACHA-01 trials) or by IV route (FFCD 2000-05 trial).

Screening system for the detection of unknown or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus in a tertiary hospital: A retrospective study.

Rationale: Hospitalization may be a valuable chance for the detection of unknown and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM). There is a screening tool at our hospital: in case of high inpatient plasma glucose level, an A1c value is added if no available from the last 3 months.

Aims And Objectives: Our objective was to analyse the population with A1c ≥ 9% detected through this system from 2021 to 2023.

Multidrug resistance in pathogenic isolates from urinary tract infections in dogs, Spain.

() is a pathogen frequently isolated in cases of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in both humans and dogs and evidence exists that dogs are reservoirs for human infections. In addition, is associated to increasing antimicrobial resistance rates. This study focuses on the analysis of antimicrobial resistance and the presence of selected virulence genes in isolates from a Spanish dog population suffering from UTI.
