Parathormone (PTH) is the main hormone of phosphocalcic homeostasis. It is synthesized and secreted by the parathyroid glands. PTH has become a routine test in the medical biology laboratory. However, its measurement presents analytical difficulties with the various marketed kits. The aim of this work is to present the results of a comparative study between the PTH measurment on Abbott architect ci8200 and on Roche's Cobas e411 automaton. It is a prospective study carried out for 252 hospitalized patients in the various departments of the University Hospital Center Mohammed VI of Oujda. The "intact" PTH tests were performed on two automata: Abbott Architect ci8200 and Roche Cobas e411. The first uses chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. The second uses electrochemiluminiscence sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The agreement of the results between the different techniques was evaluated using the Bland-Altman difference diagram and the Passing-Bablok and Deming regression line (MedCalc software version 14.8.1.0). By analyzing the diagram of Bland-Altman, we note that the average bias between both methods is of the order of 193.9 pg/mL. As for the equation of the right of Passing-Bablok, it is: Y(Architect) = 3.11 X (Cobas) - 12.26. In conclusion, our study shows a great discrepancy between the results of the PTH assay on the Architect ci8200 versus the Cobas e411, hence the biologist's indisputable role in the control and evaluation of the kits marketed through the various validation tests.

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent complication during pregnancy that can lead to adverse outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. It also increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) later in life. Thyroid hormones play an essential role in regulating growth and metabolism and often coexist with diabetes mellitus (DM), affecting glucose metabolism.

Cardiac biomarkers are being increasingly applied in pediatric populations, including those with cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic myocardial injury disease. The upper reference limits of biomarkers are an important reference for disease diagnosis and health evaluation. However, the upper reference limits of pediatric cardiac biomarkers remains unknown.

Background: The interplay between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and thyroid dysfunction is becoming more evident in the biomedical community. However, the intricacies of their relationship warrant deeper investigation to understand the clinical implications fully.
Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the correlation between thyroid hormone levels, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4), and markers of renal disease severity.
Background: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin found in two forms, sourced either from plants (D2) or animals (D3). Numerous epidemiological studies worldwide have highlighted its deficiency across diverse populations in various countries. When coupled with obesity, this deficiency becomes a significant global health concern.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic performance of different manufacturers' immunoassays for the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1)-to-placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio with that of a point-of-care (PoC) test for glycosylated fibronectin (GlyFn) in women with suspected pre-eclampsia (PE).
Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, double-blinded, non-interventional study of East Asian women with a singleton pregnancy who presented with hypertension with or without clinical features of PE after 20 weeks' gestation between January 2020 and March 2022. Maternal serum samples were collected at the time of presentation, and subsequent management followed the departmental protocol, based on gestational age, severity of hypertension, fetal condition and presence of severe PE features.
