Sulfite-alkaline method after Rampling and Gaffney is proposed for measuring fibrinogen and fibrin degradation products in cadaveric blood. Normal values for cadaveric blood are determined and qualitative paracoagulation tests proposed. Such biochemical studies can be used, along with histological, for more accurate postmortem diagnosis of the DIC syndrome.

Background: Opisthorchis felineus is a feline pathogen with zoonotic potential that can be a causative agent of human opisthorchiasis and cholangiocarcinoma. In Europe, O. felineus is particularly endemic in Eastern European countries, while this parasite has also been sporadically detected in Germany, Italy and northern Poland.

Background: The autophagy-lysosome is intricately linked to the development of gout. At present, the diagnosis and monitoring of gout are mainly invasive tests, which cannot predict the occurrence of gout in the acute phase, and bring new pain to patients. This study focuses on the changes of lysosome-related proteins in urinary exosomes of patients with acute gout attack to explore the potential noninvasive biomarkers clinical application value.

Background: Self- medication leading to wastage of limited resources in developing countries, prolonged suffering, increase resistance to drugs and may result in significant medical complications such as adverse drug responses and dependence. Self-medication is extensively used by health professionals. Undergraduate medical students as being the future physicians representing a main pillar in health care system thus have special significance.

Background: Risk-based breast cancer screening offers a more targeted and potentially cost-effective approach in cancer detection compared to age-based screening. This study aims to understand women's preferences and willingness for undergoing risk assessment tests.
Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted.

Lewy bodies and neurofibrillary tangles, composed of α-synuclein (α-syn) and tau, respectively, often are found together in the same brain and correlate with worsening cognition. Human postmortem studies show colocalization of α-syn and tau occurs in Lewy bodies, but with limited effort to quantify colocalization. In this study, postmortem middle temporal gyrus tissue from decedents (n = 9) without temporal lobe disease (control) or with Lewy body disease (LBD) was immunofluorescently labeled with antibodies to phosphorylated α-syn (p-α-syn), tau phosphorylated at Ser202/Thr205 (p-tau), or exposure of tau's phosphatase-activating domain (PAD-tau) as a marker of early tau aggregates.
