Objective: To establish percentile curves for measures and indices of body composition by age and sex and compare them with data from other ethnic groups.
Subjects And Methods: Cross-sectional, population-based study with adults aged 20-59 years (n = 689). Percentile curves adjusted by a third degree polynomial function were constructed for skeletal mass index (SMI), fat mass index, body fat, and load-capacity metabolic indices (LCMI) based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Results: SMIweight and SMIBMI showed decline from the third decade of life in both sexes, whereas SMIheight was not able to identify lean mass loss over the ages studied. There was a slight drop at the end of the fifth decade (50-59 years) in men. Among Americans and Chinese, the 50th percentile curve of SMIheight showed an earlier decline. The estimates of adiposity and LCMI curves peaked between 40-49 years and Americans and Chinese maintained an upward curve throughout adulthood.
Conclusion: The data and curves showed that the SMI adjusted for BMI and body weight were more adequate in detecting the decline of lean mass in adults due to aging. In contrast, SMIheight had a positive correlation with age and its curve increased throughout the evaluated age groups. The results contribute to the evaluation to the nutritional status of adults and to the prevention and treatment of outcomes related to adiposity and deficit lean mass.

Is the 99th Percentile Cutoff Still Relevant? A Single-Center Assessment of Different Thresholds for Diagnosing Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
J Appl Lab Med
December 2024
ARUP Institute for Clinical and Experimental Pathology, Salt Lake City, UT, United States.
Background: The 2023 American College of Rheumatology and modified Sapporo criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) recommend ELISA to detect anticardiolipin (aCL) and anti-β2-glycoprotein I (aβ2GP1) IgG/IgM antibodies, focusing on moderate to high levels or exceeding the 99th percentile. This study aims to establish the 99th percentile threshold for anti-phospholipid (aPL) antibodies and compare the diagnostic accuracies of these thresholds with manufacturer cutoffs using 2 methodologies.
Methods: The 99th percentile cutoffs for aPL antibodies from 305 healthy donors were established using Aptiva, Particle-Based Multi-Analyte Technology (PMAT), and QUANTA Lite (QL) ELISA, following nonparametric reference interval estimation.
First-trimester screening and small for gestational age in twin pregnancies: a single center cohort study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal factors and first-trimester biophysical and biochemical markers with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates in twin pregnancies (TwPs).
Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study of TwPs followed from January 2010 to December 2022 at a tertiary perinatal center, Portugal. Maternal and pregnancy characteristics, mean arterial pressure, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) were analyzed.

This study aimed to construct machine learning models and predict prolonged intensive care units (ICU) stay in patients receiving perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy during cardiac surgery. 236 patients were divided into the normal (≤ 14 days) and prolonged (> 14 days) ICU groups based on the 75th percentile of ICU duration across the entire cohort. Seven machine learning models were trained and validated.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced Myocarditis (irMyocarditis) is a rare adverse event with a high mortality rate of 40-50 % and which is mostly not diagnosed until clinical symptoms emerge.
Objectives: This study aims to screen patients for irMyocarditis using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-TnT) before and regularly during therapy with ICI.
Methods: A cohort of 280 cancer patients were prospectively screened for levels of hs-TnT at baseline and prior to every ICI infusion.
