Background: The aim was clinical evaluation of immune response against SARS-CoV-2, analyzing serum levels of IgG antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 protein S in infected and vaccinated patients, as well as in subjects with and without frequent comorbidities (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and chronic respiratory disease).
Methods: Patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 confirmed by RT-PCR and subjects vaccinated with vaccines based on the mRNA encoding the SARS-CoV-2 protein S were studied. SARS-CoV-2 anti-S IgG serum levels were quantified by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.
Introduction: Total bilirubin tests are highly demanded in clinical laboratories. Since icteric index (I-index) has zero cost, we aimed to evaluate its clinical utility and cost-effectiveness to determine if total bilirubin is necessary to be tested. We took into account if haemolysis could interfere to icteric index determination.

The aim was to evaluate the lactate concentration and acid-base balance (pH, pCO, pO, HCOc and BEb) in umbilical cord blood to predict high risk of neuroapoptosis and analyze the relationship between the levels of these biomarkers and umbilical cord blood S100B protein concentration at birth.
Methods: Apparently healthy newborns were included.
Background: The aim was to ascertain the prognostic value of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), measured within 24 hours from the onset of septic shock (SS).
Methods: We performed a prospective, observational study on all patients admitted to our hospital's Intensive Care Unit with SS over a one year period from January to December 2011 to examine the outcomes in 100 consecutive SS cases. Demographic data and severity score (APACHEII and SOFA) were recorded.
