Abnormal liver function tests in acute heart failure: relationship with clinical characteristics and outcome in the PROTECT study [PDF]
Aims: Episodes of acute heart failure (AHF) unfavourably affect multiple organs, which may have an adverse impact on the outcomes. We investigated the prevalence and clinical consequences of abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) in AHF patients ...

Out-of-Distribution Generalized Dynamic Graph Neural Network for Human Albumin Prediction [PDF]
Human albumin is essential for indicating the body's overall health. Accurately predicting plasma albumin levels and determining appropriate doses are urgent clinical challenges, particularly in critically ill patients, to maintain optimal blood levels.

Novel multifunctional 90Y-labelled albumin magnetic microspheres for cancer therapy [PDF]
We present in vitro and in vivo studies of yttrium-90 (90Y)-labelled human serum albumin magnetic microspheres (HSAMMS) as multifunctional agent for bimodal radionuclide-hyperthermia cancer therapy. The HSAMMS were produced using a modified emulsification-heat stabilization technique and contained 10-nm magnetite nanoparticles coated with citric acid ...

Liver Infection Prediction Analysis using Machine Learning to Evaluate Analytical Performance in Neural Networks by Optimization Techniques [PDF]
Liver infection is a common disease, which poses a great threat to human health, but there is still able to identify an optimal technique that can be used on large-level screening. This paper deals with ML algorithms using different data sets and predictive analyses. Therefore, machine ML can be utilized in different diseases for integrating a piece of

Factors modulating 99mTc‐MAA planar lung dosimetry for 90Y radioembolization
Abstract Purpose To investigate the accuracy and biases of predicted lung shunt fraction (LSF) and lung dose (LD) calculations via 99mTc‐macro‐aggregated albumin (99mTc‐MAA) planar imaging for treatment planning of 90Y‐microsphere radioembolization.

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.
