A range of biomarkers of bone metabolism are thought to mediate adipose tissue-bone crosstalk and fulfil a homeostatic role. While considered clinically relevant, their utility and application appears limited by lack of data characterising biological variability and reference intervals rather than by analytical issues. We have therefore studied the biological variation (BV) of these biomarkers.

() infection was diagnosed in 16 human-managed Asian elephants () at four different US facilities. A retrospective review was performed to collate information on serological test results and describe the timelines from exposure to an elephant known to be positive for , detection of antimycobacterial antibodies in the exposed elephant, and isolation from the exposed elephant to confirm diagnosis. Seroconversion was defined by a positive test result using ElephantTB STAT-PAK, multiantigen print immunoassay, or DPP VetTB assay for elephants (Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc).

Article Synopsis
  • Percutaneous renal biopsy is used to diagnose kidney cancer, but it faces challenges in accurately sampling tissues.
  • A new optical coherence tomography probe was developed to differentiate between tumor and normal tissues, improving biopsy guidance and accuracy.
  • Convolutional neural networks were utilized to enhance tissue recognition, achieving 99.1% accuracy in identifying carcinoma and distinguishing oncocytoma, ultimately improving diagnosis during biopsy procedures.

In this study, we investigated if the therapeutic potential of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) therapy in a murine model of ischemic AKI is related with the survival pattern of monocyte/macrophages in tissue. CD-1 mice were subjected to bilateral renal ischemia followed by reperfusion to induce AKI. M2-polarized PBMCs isolated from CD-1 mice were administered intravenously at different time points post-injury.
