Fibrinogen participates in many physiological processes and is a biomarker for a variety of diseases. On this account, the development of a sensitive method for fibrinogen assay is particularly important. Herein, we demonstrate a new color-coded single-particle detection (SPD) method for fibrinogen detection by using platelet membrane-coated fluorescent polystyrene nanoparticles (PNPs) as the probes. Due to the specific interactions between fibrinogen and integrin receptors on platelet membranes, PNPs can form aggregated structures in the presence of fibrinogen. Therefore, colocalization events between green and red PNPs and the corresponding Pearson's correlation coefficient vary with the concentrations of fibrinogen. The sensing ability shows a linear range of 30-300 μg mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.9 μg mL (11.3 nM) for fibrinogen detection. Moreover, it has been validated that the proposed biosensor can selectively detect fibrinogen and shows a good performance in real sample applications.

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measures the rate at which erythrocytes aggregate and sediment in a fixed time in an anticoagulated blood tube and is expressed as a speed (mm/h). The ESR is still widely used in human medicine mainly as a modified or alternate method to the original Westergren. In veterinary medicine, it was employed in the 1940s-1960s after which it was gradually abandoned or rarely employed.

Objective: Neurological deterioration after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been recognized as a poor prognostic factor. Early detection of neurological deterioration would allow appropriate monitoring and timely therapeutic interventions to improve patient outcomes. In this study, we developed a machine learning model to predict the occurrence of neurological deterioration after mild TBI using information obtained on admission.

Current hemodialysis treatments can cause adverse effects, many of which are linked to the membranes used in the process. These issues are being addressed through new materials and technologies, making it urgent to establish minimum guidelines for evaluating such membranes. This review proposes standardizing the biological tests and variables to evaluate the performance of new membranes, aiming to replicate hemodialysis conditions closely.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignancy with a substantial health burden and high mortality rate, despite advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. Compared with the global average, Asia, notably China, reports disproportionately high GC incidences. The disease often progresses asymptomatically in the early stages, leading to delayed diagnosis and compromised outcomes.
