The efficacy of novel biomarkers for the early detection and management of acute kidney injury: A systematic review.
PLoS One

College of Medicine, King Faisal University, Alahsa, Saudi Arabia.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent clinical complication lacking early diagnostic tests and effective treatments. Novel biomarkers have shown promise for enabling earlier detection, risk stratification, and guiding management of AKI. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize evidence on the efficacy of novel biomarkers for AKI detection and management.

- Smoking is a significant public health issue in Tamil Nadu, causing preventable diseases and increasing healthcare costs, necessitating effective smoking cessation strategies in primary health care (PHC) settings.
- The study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of three proposed smoking cessation strategies against the current standard strategy, focusing on various combinations of counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and medications for smokers aged 15 and older.
- Results indicated that the current cessation strategy was more expensive than the proposed strategies, with two of them (PS1 and PS3) being more cost-effective, potentially leading to better resource allocation for smoking cessation efforts.

Background Aims: Non-invasive tests (NITs), e.g. Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4) and vibration-controlled elastography (VCTE), have been used to identify metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) patients at high risks for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Purpose: Falls cost the NHS over £2 billion a year, with incidence increasing rapidly with age. Design of indoor walking frames remains limited, often needing to be lifted and not supporting sit-to-stand and turning manoeuvres, which can lead to falling. This study explored aspects of safety and satisfaction and potential for clinical use of a novel prototype walking frame.

Methods: This cross-sectional Internet-based study was conducted between 2 and 9 November 2023, with quota sampling with equal probability for each sex and age group (age 65-74 years and ≥75 years). OAB was defined as an urgency score of ≥2 points and a total score of ≥3 points based on the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score.
