Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS) are pathologies associated with neuronal disorders and degradation. They are difficult to detect in their early stages, when it is crucial for appropriate treatment to be implemented. Currently, many biosensors are being developed to enable the determination of compounds characteristic of the aforementioned diseases.

- - A sliding hiatal hernia is common, especially in older adults, but its incarceration is rare and requires urgent surgery if it occurs.
- - A case involving a 95-year-old woman showed she had a giant sliding incarcerated hiatal hernia causing thoracic pain, which was diagnosed using X-ray and CT scans.
- - After confirming the hernia strangulation, surgeons performed a successful laparotomy and Nissen fundoplication, allowing the patient to recover well despite the complexities of surgery in elderly patients.
A new analytical method, based on SPRi biosensors, has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the pro-angiogenic factors HIF-1α, angiopoietin-2 (ANG-2), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in biological fluids. These proteins take part in the process of angiogenesis, i.e.

Currently, the sole method for confirming the presence of the disease is through laparoscopy and histopathological examination of collected tissue. However, this invasive procedure carries potential risk and complications, necessitating the exploration of non-surgical diagnostic methods for endometriosis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and glioma are some of the most common malignancies, with ALL most often affecting children and glioma affecting adult men. Proangiogenic cytokines and growth factors play an important role in the development of both of these tumors. Glioma is characterized by an extremely extensive network of blood vessels, which continues to expand mainly in the process of neoangiogenesis, the direct inducers of which are cytokines from the family of vascular endothelial growth factors, i.
