Published: September 2013

The sick premature infants have high risk for thrombosis. Although therapeutic options include close observation, anticoagulation, thrombolytic therapy, and thrombectomy, guidelines for the management of neonatal arterial and venous thrombosis vary greatly among different centers. The authors report their experience using low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin), with safe and successful resolution of right atrial thrombus, in an extremely low birth weight infant.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. A rapid minimally invasive and non-destructive approach to disease diagnosis is a critical unmet need.

Physical and photophysical properties of starch-based biopolymer films containing 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (NTA) powder as a nanofiller were examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), stationary UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as resonance light scattering (RLS) and time-resolved measurements, and where possible, analyzed with reference to pristine NTA solutions. AFM studies revealed that the addition of NTA into the starch biopolymer did not significantly affect surface roughness, with all examined films displaying similar Sq values ranging from 70.7 nm to 79.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, with a high incidence rate and mortality. The analysis of serum biomarkers for colorectal cancer diagnosis has attracted more and more attention because of its low cost, repeatability, and quantification. This study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum Ephrin-A1 in patients with CRC.
