T50 Calciprotein Crystallization and the Decreased Role of Fetuin-A in Type 2 Diabetes.
J Atheroscler Thromb

Department of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Molecular Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Medicine.
Aim: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are prone to develop vascular calcification. Fetuin-A protects against vascular calcification but it increases insulin resistance. T50 calciprotein crystallization (also called serum calcification propensity) is a novel marker of calcification stress.

Berries are a valuable source of numerous bioactive compounds, and they have an interesting organoleptic profile. Unfortunately, their low storage life determines the need for their preservation. Among the various methods used in this regard, it was decided to use the High Temperature Short Time (HTST) (90 °C/15 s) and Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) (130 °C/5 s) methods to preserve the produced fruit nectar blends (strawberry-blackcurrant and strawberry-chokeberry).

Article Synopsis
- New immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) assays, including FreeLite and Sebia, can be used interchangeably for diagnosing multiple myeloma and assessing risk in patients with MGUS, despite differing methodologies.
- A study of 923 MGUS patients showed that both assays had comparable effectiveness in predicting progression to plasma cell dyscrasias (PCD) over a median follow-up of 38 years.
- The Sebia assay offered improved risk stratification with a lower clinical decision point for patients with low FLC ratios, demonstrating the potential for its application alongside traditional models.
Long-Term Stability, Sterility, And Cost-Effectiveness of 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate as Antisepsis for Intravitreal Injection.
