The ion exchange-high-performance liquid chromatography is a high-throughput analytical method that allows to determine the charge profile of purified antibodies. Here, we describe the preparation of the samples, chromatographic conditions to be used (buffer preparation, salt gradient, quantity injected, flow rate, run time, column suitability, etc.), validity of the analysis, and integration of the chromatogram in order to calculate the proportion of the different isoforms.

Diabetes mellitus is among the leading global health concerns, causing over 1.5 million deaths alongside other significant comorbidities and complications. Conventional diagnosis involves estimating fasting, random blood glucose levels and glucose tolerance test.

Background: Glycated hemoglobin is a well-known marker for evaluating long-term glycemic control. However, the accuracy of glycated hemoglobin measurement can be affected by the presence of hemoglobin variants, which makes the determination and interpretation of glycated hemoglobin values in terms of glycemic control not only difficult but also misleading. Here we present the first ever case of a patient with type 2 diabetes with hemoglobin E from Nepal, diagnosed incidentally because of spurious glycated hemoglobin levels.

Objectives: To find out and estimate the risk of acute ischemic stroke in patients with increased HbA1c levels compared with controls.
Methods: This observational case-control study was conducted on patients admitted to the department of general medicine at a tertiary care center in Ranchi from June 2021 to November 2022.

We present 3 cases of discordant results from screening hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measured by ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) all due to various forms of interference and flagged by the instrument as "suspected hemoglobin E (HbE)." The first case was due to a rare hemoglobin variant, later confirmed to be hemoglobin Hoshida, the second due to "true" heterozygous HbE, and the third a result of analytical artifact causing splitting of the HbA1c peak without an underlying variant hemoglobin. We examine the similarities in these cases along with the laboratory work-up to classify each cause of interference to demonstrate the wide array of potential causes for the suspected HbE flag and why it warrants proper work-up.

One of the most prevalent infectious diseases and a key driver of antibiotic prescriptions in pediatrics is urinary tract infection (UTI). Due to the emergence of more resistant uropathogenic bacterial and fungal strains, current treatments are no longer effective, necessitating the urgent development of novel antibacterial and antifungal drugs. In this study, the antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-biofilm capabilities of compounds, such as tannase (TN) and gallic acid (GA), which were produced from a novel natural source, Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) bacteria, were assessed for the inactivation of uropathogenic microorganisms (UMs).
