Comparison of capillary and venous blood for malaria detection using two PCR-based assays in febrile patients in Sierra Leone

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Rapid and sensitive diagnostics are critical tools for clinical case management and public health control efforts. Both capillary and venous blood are currently used for malaria detection and while diagnostic technologies may not be equally ...

Patterns of Postictal Abnormalities in Relation to Status Epilepticus in Adults

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Abnormalities on peri‐ictal diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI‐PMAs) are well‐established for patients with status epilepticus (SE), but knowledge on patterns of DWI‐PMAs and their prognostic impact is sparse. Methods This systematic review and individual participant data meta‐analysis included observational studies ...

Development, Validation and Application of the Dried Blood Spot Analysis Method for the Determination of Ustekinumab in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Pharmaceuticals
Background: Ustekinumab (UST) is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Elevated serum concentrations are typically associated with improved therapeutic outcomes, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a ...

Capillary blood as an alternative specimen for enumeration of percentages of lymphocyte subsets

BMC Research Notes, 2019
Objective Capillary blood has been increasingly used in point-of-care setting for clinical monitoring in immunology and infectious diseases. We explored whether percentages of lymphocyte subsets (T-cells; CD3+, helper T-cells; CD4+, cytotoxic T-cells ...

Morphological classifications of vertebrate blood capillaries [PDF]

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1959
Morphological features of blood capillaries from various vertebrate forms and organs are presented. Simple classifications are proposed, based on presence or absence of continuous basement membrane, on the nature of the endothelial cell and on the presence or absence of a complete investment of pericapillary cells.

Functional and Structural Evidence of Neurofluid Circuit Aberrations in Huntington Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Disrupted neurofluid regulation may contribute to neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD). Because neurofluid pathways influence waste clearance, inflammation, and the distribution of central nervous system (CNS)–delivered therapeutics, understanding their dysfunction is increasingly important as targeted treatments emerge.

Uncoupling of Microvascular Blood Flow and Capillary Density in Vascular Cognitive Impairment

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) plays an important role in dementia and is a major cause for vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Recent studies hypothesized that capillary dysfunction including reduction of capillary patency, rather than a flow ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Comparison between point‐of‐care testing from capillary samples and conventional laboratory testing from venous samples for white blood cells and C‐reactive protein in a pediatric outpatient setting

Journal of General and Family Medicine
Background Studies on the accuracy of point‐of‐care (POC) testing using capillary samples are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the analytical accuracy of POC testing for white blood cell (WBC) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) using capillary ...
