Article Synopsis
- - Wound infections complicate recovery by causing tissue damage and delays in healing; traditional microbiological diagnostics are not ideal for emergency settings due to equipment size and long turnaround times.
- - This study developed a clinical metagenomics (CMg) workflow for analyzing wound swab samples, which was faster (about 4 hours) and provided extra info like fungal identification and antimicrobial resistance alongside standard testing.
- - Results showed CMg achieved decent sensitivity (83.82%) and specificity (66.64%) compared to traditional methods, indicating its potential as a rapid diagnostic tool in challenging medical situations, with future improvements needed for automation and data interpretation.
Aim: To determine the rate of prediabetes among and the pre-transplant plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) value predictive of prediabetes in patients during their first year post-living donor kidney transplant.
Methods: A total of 538 patients underwent living donor kidney transplantation between January 2018 and December 2020, 413 of whom met the inclusion criteria for this study. All patients underwent oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) with 75 g glucose/200 mL solution, starting 3 months post-transplant and repeating the test every 3 months for the first year.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the rate of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in prediabetic patients who received kidney transplants from living donors, while also analyzing the impact of hs-CRP levels and the TG/HDL-C ratio over three years.
- - A total of 206 prediabetic patients were monitored, revealing that 29.6% developed PTDM, with measurements of BMI, plasma triglycerides, HDL-C, hs-CRP, and the TG/HDL-C ratio showing significant correlations to PTDM progression.
- - The findings indicate that over one-third of the prediabetic patients developed PTDM following transplantation, with hs-CRP and the TG/HDL-C
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of significant concern for the food industry due to its remarkable ability to persist through safety control efforts, posing a subsequent health threat to consumers. Understanding the microbial communities coexisting with L. monocytogenes in food processing environments provides insights into its persistence mechanisms.

Methods: We conducted a study on 87 stage IV colorectal cancer patients treated with capecitabine. Before the day of treatment, all patients were measured CEA and CRP-hs levels and calculated neutrophil/lympho ratio (NLR) and PNI.
