Extreme Heterophilic Antibody Interference in BNP Immunoassay: A Case Report and Systematic Investigation Protocol

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A 53 year‐old male with type 2 diabetes presented extremely elevated BNP (> 4000 pg/mL) but normal NT‐proBNP and cardiac function. Systematic verification confirmed severe heterophilic antibody (HAMA) interference in the BNP chemiluminescence immunoassay.

Serum Apelin‐13 and Galectin‐3 in COVID‐19: Associations With Routine Biochemical Parameters and Diagnostic Performance in a Case–Control Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Serum Apelin‐13 and Galectin‐3 levels were measured by ELISA in COVID‐19–positive patients and controls and evaluated alongside routine biochemical parameters. COVID‐19 patients showed significant alterations in liver, renal, inflammatory, and metabolic markers.

Comparison consequences of Jackson-Pratt drain versus chest tube after coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Chest tubes are used in every case of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to evacuate shed blood from around the heart and lungs. This study was designed to assess the effective of Jackson-Pratt drain in compare with conventional chest ...

Persistent air leak secondary to pneumothorax in COVID-19: A case report and review of literature

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
An air leak is a pathologic communication between an area of the endobronchial tree and the pleural space, causing continued air flow. The communication can originate from a distal portion of the airway, causing an alveolar-pleural fistula, or from a ...

Impact of 1024‐Matrix Size on Perforating Artery Visualisation in Cerebral Computed Tomography Angiography Using a 64‐Slice CT Scanner

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated whether using a larger image matrix (1024 × 1024 pixels instead of 512 × 512) improves the visibility of tiny brain arteries on CT scans performed with standard 64‐slice scanners. While physical image quality measurements remained unchanged, the larger matrix provided finer digital sampling of blood vessel structures, resulting ...

Chest X‐Ray Imaging Algorithms for Optimising the Visualisation of Medical Lines and Tubes: A Study With Student Radiographers

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Imaging post‐processing algorithms are helpful in improving the visibility of chest lines and tubes on standard chest X‐rays. Examples include the advanced edge enhancement and grey‐scale inversion, and this study evaluates the usefulness of these algorithms for enhancing visual image quality and reader confidence among student radiographers.

Radiation Dose Optimisation Through Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based Auto‐Thorax Collimation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated AI‐based Auto‐Thorax Collimation (ATC) for radiation dose optimisation in posteroanterior chest radiography compared with manual collimation. ATC demonstrated tighter lateral collimation and reduced inter‐operator variability while maintaining comparable repeat rates.
