High and low levels of ionized serum calcium concentration can produce characteristic changes on the electrocardiogram. These changes are almost entirely limited to the duration of the ST segment, with no change in the QRS complexes or T waves. High ionized serum calcium shortens the ST segment, and low ionized serum calcium prolongs the ST segment. Two common clinical scenarios are presented.

Sepsis Diagnosis Based on a Parylene Matrix Chip Using LPC16:0 as a Biomarker in Comparison with Colorimetry of Total Phospholipid.

For the medical diagnosis of sepsis, it is crucial to differentiate infectious inflammation from noninfectious symptoms to prevent acute aggravation. Herein, a diagnosis for early stage sepsis was performed using LPC 16:0 and total phospholipids as small molecular biomarkers. The measurement of LPC 16:0 was conducted using a parylene matrix chip, which was developed to effectively detect small molecules in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS).

Study Question: Is serum phosphate linked with semen quality and reproductive hormones in infertile men?
Summary Answer: Hypophosphatemia is a frequent finding in infertile men and is associated with lower number of motile sperm.
What Is Known Already: Phosphate is available in fluid from all segments of the male reproductive tract in concentrations manyfold higher than in serum. However, the role of phosphate in male fertility is largely unknown.
Column Screening and Development of HILIC and RPLC Methods Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry for the Monitoring of Albumin on Cysteine 34 Exposed to Mustard Agents.

Adduction on protein nucleophile sites by mustard agents can be monitored to assess detection of retrospective exposure to these agents. Cysteine 34 (Cys34) on human serum albumin was selected as the target of choice. This work targets di- and tripeptides adducted on Cys34 by sulfur mustard, sesquimustard, and nitrogen mustards separated in hydrophilic liquid chromatography (HILIC) and Reversed-Phase (RP) mode.

Donor-acceptor BODIPY dyads, functionalized at the 2 and 6 positions with benzyl ester (BDP-DE) or carboxylic acid (BDP-DA) groups, were synthesized and characterized for their optoelectronic properties. The introduction of carbonyl groups increased the reduction potential of the BODIPY core by 0.15-0.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive cerebrovascular disorder that increases the risk of intracranial ischemia and hemorrhage. Timely diagnosis and intervention can significantly reduce the risk of new-onset stroke in patients with MMD. However, the current diagnostic methods are invasive and expensive, and non-invasive diagnosis using biomarkers of MMD is rarely reported.
