Sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among the various types of end-organ damage associated with sepsis, hepatic injury is linked to significantly higher mortality rates compared to dysfunction in other organ systems. This study aimed to investigate potential biomarkers of hepatic injury in sepsis patients through a multi-center, case-control approach.

Spatially dependent tissue distribution of thyroid hormones by plasma thyroid hormone binding proteins.

Pflugers Arch

January 2025

Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, 30322, USA.

Plasma thyroid hormone (TH) binding proteins (THBPs), including thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), transthyretin (TTR), and albumin (ALB), carry THs to extrathyroidal sites, where THs are unloaded locally and then taken up via membrane transporters into the tissue proper. The respective roles of THBPs in supplying THs for tissue uptake are not completely understood. To investigate this, we developed a spatial human physiologically based kinetic (PBK) model of THs, which produces several novel findings.

Background Wound dehiscence (WD) is a major postoperative complication following abdominal surgeries, particularly exploratory laparotomy. Identifying preoperative risk factors and using predictive tools, such as the Rotterdam Risk Index (RRI), are crucial for early intervention and improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with WD and assess the predictive accuracy of the RRI in a cohort of patients undergoing abdominal surgeries.

Association between C-reactive protein to albumin ratio and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional study.

BMC Pulm Med

January 2025

Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing Luhe Hospital, Capital Medical University, No.82, Xinhua South Road, Tongzhou District, Beijing, 101100, China.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widespread condition that significantly endangers human health. The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) has been utilized as an important marker for the occurrence and development of various diseases. Nevertheless, the association between CAR and COPD remains inadequately explored.

Neurofilament Light Chain under the Lens of Structural Mass Spectrometry.

ACS Chem Neurosci

January 2025

National Measurement Laboratory, LGC, Queens Road, TW11 0LY Teddington, U.K.

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is an early nonspecific biomarker in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injury, indicating axonal damage. This work describes the detailed structural characterization of a selected primary calibrator with the potential to be used in future reference measurement procedure (RMP) development for the accurate quantification of NfL. As a part of the described workflow, the sequence, higher-order structure as well as solvent accessibility, and hydrogen-bonding profile were assessed under three different conditions in KPBS, artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and artificial cerebrospinal fluid in the presence of human serum albumin.
