Context: Increased oxidative burden is found in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Objective: To assess the association of ceruloplasmin, albumin, bilirubin, transferrin, thiols and malondialdehyde (MDA) with stable COPD.
Materials And Methods: Oxidative stress markers measured in 106 COPD patients and 45 healthy subjects were evaluated.
Results: Higher ceruloplasmin and MDA, and lower albumin, transferrin and thiols in COPD patients were found. Ceruloplasmin was the strongest single predictor of COPD. The model combining ceruloplasmin, albumin and thiols improved their individual diagnostic performances.
Conclusions: Diagnostic characteristics of ceruloplasmin, albumin, transferrin, thiols and MDA suggest their potential value as additional tools in disease diagnosis.

Deferasirox (Def), an orally administered iron-chelating drug, has drawn significant interest in repurposing for anticancer application due to the elevated Fe demand by cancer cells. But there are also concerns about its severe off target health effects. Herein Cu(II) binding is studied as a potential off target interaction.

Introduction: Knowledge and systematic evaluation of analytical errors is the task of internal analytical quality control management. The aim of this study was to assess whether the Westgard rules proposed by Bio-Rad's Westgard Advisor software are more efficient in the monitoring of analytical performance than those previously in use.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on the nephelometer Atellica NEPH630 (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany).

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed oxidative stress in the blood of obese and nonobese pregnant women and their babies, involving 30 obese and 35 nonobese participants aged 18-40.
- Significant findings showed higher levels of oxidative stress markers like disulfide and catalase in obese mothers and their newborns, indicating increased oxidative stress compared to nonobese counterparts.
- The study highlights the importance of weight management before and during pregnancy to reduce oxidative stress and associated health risks for both mothers and infants.
Iron deficiency in dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis.
BMC Vet Res
November 2024
Messerli Research Institute, Department of Interdisciplinary Life Sciences, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Veterinärplatz 1, Vienna, A-1210, Austria.
Background: Iron-deficiency is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in non-communicable diseases. However, iron parameters are rarely assessed in dogs. Here, we aimed to assess and correlate iron parameters in dogs suffering from Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD) compared to non-atopic, healthy dogs.

Background: Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease caused by ATP7B variants and characterized by copper metabolism defects. However, children with WD are often asymptomatic, making the clinical diagnosis difficult. Therefore, more accurate methods are required for clinical diagnosis.
