AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how low serum albumin levels impact hospital stay duration in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome.
- Researchers found that lower serum albumin levels were linked to longer hospital stays, even after accounting for other factors influencing patient recovery.
- The findings suggest that monitoring serum albumin levels can help identify patients at risk for extended hospitalization, highlighting the need for potential nutritional support or interventions.
Article Abstract
Low serum albumin levels increase coronary morbidity, mortality, and postoperative cardiovascular risk. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between these levels and the length of hospital stay in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome. A total of 350 patients were divided into quartiles according to serum albumin levels. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the length of hospital stay. A non-linear regression analysis of serum albumin and length of hospital stay was also performed. The results of the multifactorial analysis revealed low serum albumin levels as an independent predictor of longer hospital stay, even in the fully adjusted model. In the segmented linear regression model, serum albumin level showed a U-shaped relationship with the length of hospital stay. In conclusion, low serum albumin level was an independent predictor of longer hospital stay in patients undergoing PCI for acute coronary syndrome, with shorter stays observed for increasing serum albumin levels. Low serum albumin can be used to identify patients who require longer hospitalization and may need additional nutritional support or interventions to improve their prognosis.

Aim: To construct and validate a prediction model for enteral feeding intolerance in critically ill patients during the first 7 days of enteral feeding.
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of two intensive care units from January 2015 to August 2023, to develop a prediction model by univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis.
Correlation of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) With Other Indicators of Nutrition in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients.

Aura Sante, Clermont Ferrand, France.
Background: The GNRI (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index1) is an index used in geriatrics to predict the risk of complications and mortality associated with malnutrition. It considers serum albumin levels and the ratio of current weight or BMI to the ideal theoretical weight/BMI.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate this index in a population of metabolically stable chronic hemodialysis patients aged > 60 years and associate it with other nutritional markers.

Blood serum (BS) and seminal plasma (SP) share a plethora of compounds that might present an individual and/or temporal concentration variation. We aimed to determine whether BS and SP concentrations of albumin, calcium, citrate, creatinine, fructose, glucose, lactate, total protein, urea, zinc, cortisol, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and testosterone are related to weekly collections in New Zealand White (NZW) adult rabbit bucks. During a 12-week study, blood samples were obtained at the beginning and the end of the study period, and semen samples were taken twice a week from four NZW adult rabbit bucks, starting at 6-7 months of age.

Aim: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an incurable disease represented by relapse and remission. Noninvasive biomarkers are required to predict disease activation. This study aimed to identify noninvasive biomarkers, such as the c-reactive protein-albumin (CRP/ALB) ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), that might forecast disease activation in UC.

Decoration of proteins and enzymes with well-defined polymeric structures allows precise decoration of protein surfaces, enabling controlled modulation of activity. Here, the impact of dendronization on the interaction between avidin and biotin was investigated. A series of generation 3-7 bis(2,2-hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (bis-MPA) dendrons were coupled to either biotin or avidin to yield a library of dendronized avidin and biotin structures.
