In this study, Ves-matic erythrocyte sedimentation rate and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate methods were compared on 96 subjects mean age 4.9+/-4.3 years. Ves-matic erythrocyte sedimentation rate an automated method, and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate method required minimal bloods are various approaches on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. An important relationship between that the Ves-matic and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate was revealed. Although there was significantly correlation between these two methods, they are different to use interchangeably. Our study implies that "Micro-Automated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Systems" could be developed which require a few amounts of blood and study automatically.

December 2024

Laboratorio de Investigación en Salud de Precisión, Departamento de Procesos Diagnósticos y Evaluación, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Católica de Temuco, Temuco 4780000, Chile.

Frailty is a common condition among older individuals and is associated with increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the impact of viral infections on frail populations. The present work aimed to determine frailty, functional and cognitive status, and clinical analysis of older persons in a long-term care facility in Chile, before and following the outbreak of COVID-19.

Background/objectives: Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are a significant global health burden, and understanding the immune response is crucial for developing effective diagnostic tools and treatment strategies.

Methods: This study investigated the levels of specific biomarkers in 188 patients with URTIs and their association with demographic factors, comorbidities, and clinical outcomes. Immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin E (IgE), neutrophils, serum iron, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology for identifying pathogens associated with spinal infection (SI).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 193 patients with suspected SI between August 2020 and September 2024. Based on histopathological results, the patients were divided into the SI group (n=162) and the non-SI group (n=31).
