Selenium (Se) is an element readily absorbed during the intestinal tract, distributed in the body by means of blood and excreted mainly by urine or feces. Here, we describe the method allowing the determination of the total Se content in biological tissues and fluids by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS).

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of multiple cardiovascular pathologies. The present-day clinical imaging modalities do not offer sufficient information on plaque composition or rupture risk. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) is a strongly upregulated proteoglycan-cleaving enzyme that is specific to cardiovascular diseases, inter alia, atherosclerosis.

Several studies have reported associations between specific heavy metals and essential trace elements and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there is limited understanding of the relationships between trace elements and AMI in real-life co-exposure scenarios, where multiple elements may interact simultaneously. This cross-sectional study measured serum levels of 56 trace elements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
- Implantable sensors are becoming popular for localized and continuous monitoring in medical settings, allowing for early detection and timely interventions.
- There are two main types of implantable sensors: active, which have more advanced functionalities but require a power source, and passive, which don't need power and offer simpler, smaller designs.
- This review focuses on passive sensor technologies, discussing their materials, detection methods, clinical applications, advantages over active sensors, and important considerations for their packaging and compatibility with the human body.
