Utility of blood‐based Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen‐specific host biomarkers in differentiating between spinal tuberculosis and mechanical back pain: A proof‐of‐concept study

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is a severe form of musculoskeletal TB whose diagnosis remains challenging and may be misinterpreted as mechanical back pain. Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen‐specific host blood protein biomarkers detectable in QuantiFERON supernatants may offer greater specificity to distinguish spinal TB from mechanical back pain, with ...

Phase Angle and Extracellular Water‐to‐Total Body Water Ratio Measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Are Associated with Anemia and Hemoglobin Levels in Women with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Anemia is common in women with diabetes, increasing disability and mortality risks. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures phase angle (PhA), reflecting cellular integrity and muscle quality, and the extracellular water to total body water ratio (ECW/TBW), indicating fluid balance and inflammation.

Clinicopathological Features of Lupus Erythematosus Panniculitis (LEP): A Retrospective Analysis of 54 Cases

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Lupus Erythematosus Panniculitis (LEP) is a rare subtype of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus. It is a challenging disease to diagnose and treat due to limited understanding of its clinical and histopathological characteristics. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 54 biopsy‐proven LEP cases evaluated at a dermatology referral

Shear‐Activated von Willebrand Factor Captures Extracellular Vesicles to Promote Platelet Activation and Metastasis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Under shear flow, stretched vWF captures platelets and EVs, and TF‐positive EVs amplify platelet activation and aggregation. Although tumour cells do not bind vWF directly, the resulting microthrombi trap circulating tumour cells and promote metastatic progression.

Evaluation of The Use of Hydroxyurea in Treating Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in Central Africa's Rural Area

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is highly prevalent in Central Africa. This disease causes severe manifestations in children, requiring treatment. Hydroxyurea (HU) is currently the most effective treatment for SCA. We evaluated the use of HU in children living in rural Central Africa.
