AI Article Synopsis

  • Aging significantly increases the risk of developing various diseases and conditions, particularly osteoarthritis (OA), which is the most prevalent joint disease among the elderly.
  • Frailty is a major geriatric syndrome that complicates the management and prognosis of older adults, with research indicating that OA and frailty can worsen each other.
  • The review discusses the current understanding of the prevalence and impact of OA and frailty, highlighting differences in non-medication and medication management strategies for patients facing these issues.

Article Abstract

Aging is an independent risk factor for the development of many diseases and geriatric syndromes. Osteoarthritis (OA), as the most common joint disease in the elderly, can be attributed to age - associated conditions. And the most significant geriatric syndrome, which dramatically affects the management and prognosis of an elderly, is frailty. The review provides current information on the prevalence of OA and frailty, their clinical and prognostic significance, and also shows the mutually aggravating role of these two conditions. The difference between non - and medication management of patients with OA and frailty is emphasized.

Objective And Significance: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays a pivotal role in breast development by modulating tissue composition during the developmental phase. The TGFβ type II receptor (TGFβ RII) is implicated in breast cancer and represents a valuable therapeutic target. Due to the off-target side effects of many existing TGFβI/TGFβ RII inhibitors, a more targeted approach to drug discovery is necessary.

A novel LC-MS/MS assay for low concentrations of creatinine in sweat and saliva to validate biosensors for continuous monitoring of renal function.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci

December 2024

Clinical Laboratory, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven, Eindhoven 5623 EJ, The Netherlands; Department of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Biology, Eindhoven University of Technology, Groene Loper 3, Eindhoven 5612 AE, The Netherlands.

Monitoring of kidney function traditionally relies on plasma creatinine concentrations, necessitating invasive blood draws. Non-invasively obtainable biofluids, such as sweat and saliva, present a patient-friendly alternative with potential for continuous monitoring. This study focusses on developing and validating a novel Liquid Chromatography- tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay as a reference test for measuring low creatinine concentrations in sweat and saliva.
