Procalcitonin-guided antibiotic therapy in adult sepsis: A biochemical perspective from a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry
Background: Procalcitonin (PCT), a biomarker closely associated with bacterial infections, has emerged as a valuable tool in guiding antibiotic therapy. In sepsis management, it may help optimise antibiotic use and improve clinical outcomes.

Reconfigurable Magnetic Soft Microrobot for Acoustically Triggered Targeted Bacterial Sterilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable magnetic soft microrobots integrate in situ‐grown piezoelectric zinc oxide nanorods that produce reactive oxygen species upon acoustic excitation. Combining magnetically guided transport with thermally induced planar reconfiguration, the microrobots achieve targeted delivery and enhanced bacterial sterilization through efficient on ...

Potential Possibilities of Monitoring the Procalcitonin Concentration During Antibacterial Therapy of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
The growing level of resistance of microorganisms requires a critical reduction in cases of unreasonable use of antibiotics and a reduction in the overall duration of antibiotic therapy. Controlled clinical trials conducted in recent years have confirmed

RNA‐Micelles as Self‐Assembling Structures for Efficient Co‐Delivery of Synergistic siRNA and Nucleoside Analogues to Treat CRC Lung Metastasis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two kinds of self‐assembled RNA micelles were used to co‐deliver synergistic siRNA and nucleoside analogues for the treatment of colorectal cancer lung metastases. Near‐complete elimination of lung cancer metastases was confirmed in an orthotopic lung metastasis model constructed using human colorectal cancer lung metastases patient surgical samples to

Laser‐Microscribed Glass Enables Surface‐Microfluidics‐Facilitated, Affordable, Rapid Cancer Diagnosis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A transparent, laser‐microscribed glass platform enables cancer diagnosis within 1 h—much faster than histology, which takes days, and free from the chemical or contrast risks of MRI or CT scans. The antibody‐functionalized rough glass surface captures viable cancer cells directly from suspension, allowing instant optical readout and offering a rapid ...
