Electrochemical evaluation of screen-printed sensor manufacturing and LOx enzyme immobilization for lactate biomarker detection: influence of reference electrode material.
RSC Adv
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- * The study compared these electrodes to traditional Ag/AgCl reference electrodes, finding that while Ag/AgCl showed greater charge transfer resistance, the carbon/graphene electrodes maintained comparable sensitivity and performance when lactate oxidase was used in the setup.
- * Future investigations are necessary to address the reduction in electric current observed with human plasma, indicating potential issues with analyte detection sensitivity due to biological interferents.
Aim: Management of diverticulitis with abscess formation in immunosuppressed patients (IMS) remains unclear. The main objective of the study was to assess short- and long-term outcomes between IMS and immunocompetent patients (IC). The secondary aim was to identify risk factors for emergency surgery.

Methods: This nationwide retrospective cohort study was performed in 29 Spanish referral centers, including patients with a first episode of a diverticular abscess (modified Hinchey Ib-II) from 2015 to 2019. Emergency surgery, complications, and recurrent episodes were analyzed.
Background & Aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive chronic non-communicable disease associated with various comorbidities; it is considered complex and therefore multifactorial strategies must be applied to reduce the associated risks. The aim of this before-and-after clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of adjuvant supplementation with probiotics in patients with T2DM.
Methods: The study included 20 patients aged >30 years with T2DM who were overweight or obese.
