ABSTRACT Severe malaria remains a major cause of acute kidney injury and multiorgan failure in endemic regions, often requiring renal replacement therapy. However, access to dialysis is limited in many resource‐constrained settings, making outcomes highly dependent on early diagnosis and effective antimalarial treatment. We report a 32‐year‐old man who

Residual Chemical Shift Anisotropies in the Structure Determination of Small Molecules
Plasma neutrophil elastase(ELANE) was markedly elevated in patients with alcohol use disorder, indicating a dysregulated protease‐antiprotease inflammatory balance characterised by decreased SERPINA3. ELANE showed excellent diagnostic specificity(AUC = 0.8683), supporting its potential utility as a neuroinflammatory biomarker for AUD.
