Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a nutrient solution administered intravenously (IV) to premature babies. PN causes elevations of some amino acids in blood samples that are also biomarkers used in newborn screening (NBS). Therefore, PN status must be annotated by clinicians on dried blood spot (DBS) cards to reduce NBS laboratory burdens associated with potential false results; however, NBS laboratories continue to receive DBSs with misannotated PN status.

Background: Processed electroencephalogram (EEG) indices are widely used to monitor anesthetic depth. However, their reliability in children under 2 years of age remains questionable. During anesthesia maintenance in this age group, processed EEG indices frequently exhibit unexpectedly elevated values that exceed the intended target range.

Dietary habits significantly influence the development of intestinal diverticular disease (IDD), a common gastrointestinal condition primarily affecting the colon. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis on 20 diet-related factors using data from the UK Biobank. IDD cases ( = 33,618) and controls ( = 329,381) were obtained from the FinnGen Biobank.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a crucial factor that poses a significant threat to human health. DILI process leads to the changes of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species content in cells, which leads to oxidative and nitrosative stress in cells. However, the high reactivity of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻), combined with a lack of in situ imaging techniques, has hindered a detailed understanding of their roles in DILI.

Objectives: To describe a variant hemoglobin that interferes with HbA analysis by cation exchange HPLC.
Case Presentation: A 78 years-old Spanish male patient visited the Internal Medicine Clinic for a routine check-up, with HbA included to screen for diabetes. He had suffered hypertension and dyslipidemia, and the patient had no previous symptoms suggestive of diabetes such as hyperglycemia, weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria or tiredness.
