An antibody precipitating urease was found in 171 out of 180 human sera. Data obtained on limited material (50 cases) suggest that the anti-urease titre is appreciably higher in the serum of patients suffering from gastric ulcer. This is a pointer towards a possible antigen-antibody mechanism in the genesis of chronic gastric ulceration.

Analytical errors related to endogenous or exogenous substances are a cause of unnecessary investigation, intervention, and patient concern especially in immunoassay platforms. In this report, we systematically screened for estradiol interference using a practical algorithm. For extended research in interference screening, repeated estradiol measurements for control and case samples were carried out for method comparison (three immunoassay platforms and one liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) measurement), dilution test, polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation, and heterophile antibody blocking tube.

Graves' disease (GD) and gestational transient thyrotoxicosis (GTT) are the most common causes of thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy, with prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 1% and from 1% to 3%, respectively. Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy can have severe consequences if not promptly recognized and treated.

Background: Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) represents the most advanced stage of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and is associated with dire prognosis, characterized by a substantial risk of limb amputation and diminished life expectancy. Despite significant advancements in therapeutic interventions, the underlying mechanisms precipitating the progression of PAD to CLTI remain elusive.
Methods: Considering diabetes is one of the main risk factors contributing to PAD exacerbation into CLTI, we compared hind limb ischemia recovery in HFD STZ vs.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasite that can cause significant complications when it infects pregnant women and immunocompromised patients. These complications include miscarriage, fetal abnormalities, and fatal cerebral toxoplasmosis. Despite its significance, the true burden of toxoplasmosis in Indonesia remains underexplored.

Polysorbate 20 (PS20) is commonly used as an excipient in therapeutic protein formulations. However, over the course of a therapeutic protein product's shelf life, minute amounts of co-purified host-cell lipases may cause slow hydrolysis of PS20, releasing fatty acids (FAs). These FAs may precipitate to form subvisible particles that can be detected and imaged by various techniques, e.
