The variation in time of some blood biochemical parameters was investigated in 100 patients with acute head injury and coma of variable duration, in parallel with the clinical course. The purpose of this study was to establish possible correlations between the severity of the trauma (assessed according to the coma classification proposed by C. Arseni) and the variation of the parameters studied. The results show complex correlations between the biochemical events in the patient and the degree of brain function impairment initially and after some time. Long lasting coma (over 14 days) is associated with complex biochemical alterations representing an additional element for defining the clinical condition.

Metabolic and inflammatory status in prepuberty and early adulthood for individuals with a history of extrauterine growth restriction: a cohort study.
J Transl Med
January 2025
Metabolism and Investigation Unit, Maimonides Institute of Biomedicine Research of Córdoba (IMIBIC), Reina Sofia University Hospital, University of Córdoba, Córdoba, Spain.
Background: Perinatal growth and nutrition have been shown to be determinants in the programming of different tissues, such as adipose tissue, predisposing individuals to metabolic alterations later in life. Previous studies have documented an increased risk of metabolic disturbances and low-grade inflammation in prepubertal children with a history of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR). The aim of this study was to evaluate possible alterations resulting from impaired growth during early childhood and their impact on young adult health.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters on biochemical failure-free survival (BFS) in patients diagnosed with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and treated with robotic ultrahypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer undergoing robotic SBRT delivered in five fractions with a total radiation dose of 35-36.25 Gy.
Metagenome-guided culturomics for the targeted enrichment of gut microbes.

Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, Technical University of Denmark Kgs., Lyngby, Denmark.
The gut microbiome significantly impacts human health, yet cultivation challenges hinder its exploration. Here, we combine deep whole-metagenome sequencing with culturomics to selectively enrich for taxa and functional capabilities of interest. Using a modified commercial base medium, 50 growth modifications were evaluated, spanning antibiotics, physico-chemical conditions, and bioactive compounds.

Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) remains a crucial topic in contemporary agriculture. Inoculation with endophytic diazotrophic bacteria offers a potential solution, but the results vary with the N-fertilization regime. Here, we examined the efficacy of inoculation with Herbaspirillum seropedicae strain HRC54 in enhancing NUE and promoting the growth of Marandu palisadegrass with varying levels of N-urea (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg N kg soil⁻).

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are interlinked chronic conditions that necessitate continuous and precise monitoring of physiological and environmental parameters to prevent complications. Non-invasive monitoring technologies have garnered significant interest due to their potential to alleviate the current burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease management. However, these technologies face limitations in accuracy and reliability due to interferences from physiological and environmental factors.
