Small, EarlyView.Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) for rapid, point‐of‐care testing face challenges with real patient samples. This work presents magnetically retrievable platinum nanoreporters for LFIAs that purify and concentrate samples, and amplify signals, enhancing sensitivity and lowering the visual limit of detection in complex bio‐samples such as human serum ...

Angiogenic Biomarkers and Neonatal Outcomes in Suspected Preeclampsia: Retrospective Cohort Study
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) are two biomarkers associated with placental function and the sFlt‐1/PlGF ratio is frequently used for risk assessment and prediction of preeclampsia in pregnancy. Objective To assess the association between elevated sFlt‐1/PlGF ratio and adverse neonatal outcomes in
