Novel sensors and instrumentation are currently being investigated with the intended application of determining the concentration of hemoglobin and other optically absorbing compounds in blood using non-invasive methods. In order to measure concentration, the mass or amount of a compound must be known in addition to the volume of liquid. In principle, it may be possible to estimate hemoglobin concentration from a change in optical absorbance occurring over the cardiac cycle divided by a corresponding change in measured blood volume during the cycle measured from peripheral tissue, e.g. the finger or ear. Electrical and optical sensors were evaluated in vitro using a tissue phantom and an absorbing liquid medium. The effect of changes in optical absorption and pulse pressure on the capacitance and optical absorbance were studied.

Objective: To discover the potential association between diminished intraoperative average SctO levels and postoperative neurodevelopmental delays among patients after pediatric living-donor liver transplantation.
Study Design: Patients undergoing living-donor liver transplantation were recruited for this trial. The neurodevelopment status of patients was assessed using the Ages Stages Questionnaires.
Risk factors analysis of hypokalemia after radical resection of esophageal cancer and establishment of a nomogram risk prediction model.
Front Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, China.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the risk factors of hypokalemia after radical resection of esophageal cancer (EC) and establish a nomogram risk prediction model to evaluate hypokalemia risk after esophagectomy. Thus, this study provides a reference for the clinical development of intervention measures.
Methods: Clinical data of EC patients who underwent radical surgery from January 2020 to November 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were retrospectively collected.
Predictive value of circulating fibroblast growth factor-23 and Klotho on protein-energy wasting in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Medical Oncology, Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University and Beijing Tuberculosis and Tumor Research Institute, Beijing, China.
Background: As a state of metabolic and nutritional derangements, protein-energy wasting (PEW) is highly prevalent and associated with increased morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and Klotho have been proven to contribute to chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Previous evidence suggested that FGF-23 and Klotho may also contribute to the malnutritional status among these patients; however, the inter-relationship between the FGF-23-Klotho axis and PEW remains unclear.

Department of Ichthyology and Aquatic Environment, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Thessaly, Volos, Thessaly 38446, Greece.
Background: The European hake () is a commercially valuable demersal species widely distributed in the Mediterranean Sea. Assessing the condition of fish populations in their natural habitats is challenging due to the lack of reliable reference points.
Objective: This study aimed to utilize hematological analysis as an economical method to evaluate the physiological and health status of European hake, addressing the gap in hematological data for this species.
