Plasma calcium in haemodialysis patients: total calcium or ionized calcium? Should we systematically provide a value of total corrected calcium on our protocols? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
peer reviewedIonized calcium is the only physiologically active form of calcium. Because of the variation of albumin, pH and haemoconcentration observed during haemodialysis session in patients with chronic renal failure, measure of total calcium does ...

The multifaceted roles of lysosomes in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lysosomes support cancer cell adaptation by integrating macromolecule degradation and nutrient recycling with nutrient sensing, inter‐organelle communication and immune regulation. These interconnected functions can promote tumour growth, stress tolerance and therapy resistance, while also creating context‐dependent vulnerabilities that may be ...

Tumour‐proximal deep serum proteomics identifies biomarkers associated with ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
New biomarkers are needed for early ovarian cancer detection. Ovarian (tumour‐proximal) and peripheral vein serum from healthy women and patients with benign or malignant tumours underwent nanoparticle‐enriched deep proteomics. Ovarian serum yielded more protein identifications and revealed tumour‐reflective signatures.

Role of the ionized-to-total calcium ratio in predicting sepsis mortality: a retrospective analysis from the MIMIC-IV database

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Background Sepsis, an important cause of death in intensive care units (ICUs), frequently disrupts calcium homeostasis. Since ionized calcium does not consistently correlate with total calcium, we hypothesized that the ionized-to-total calcium ratio ...

The Effect of Serum Calcium Levels on Uremic Encephalopathy in Patients with Acute Kidney Injury in the Emergency Department

open access: yesMedicina, 2019
Background and objectives: Uremic encephalopathy is the most important complication of renal failure and urgent dialysis treatment is required. Parathormone (PTH) contributes to the etiopathogenesis of uremic encephalopathy. PTH is a hormone that acts in

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

An Artifact in Measurement of Ionized Calcium Concentration from a Heparin Preservative, Benzyl Alcohol

open access: yes, 1974
The previously reported decrease in plasma ionized calcium concentration associated with the presence of heparin has been shown to result largely from the presence of the preservative benzyl alcohol and only partially from heparin. Methanol, ethanol, or

Serum ionized calcium in acute pancreatitis

open access: yesJournal of British Surgery, 1977
Abstract Measurement of serum ionized calcium was performed daily for 7 days after admission in 8 consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis. The results support the findings of our previous study that the most common cause of the low serum calcium often found in patients with this disease is a low serum albumin; when correction of ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Hyperparathyroidism in Pregnancy Leading to Pancreatitis and Preeclampsia with Severe Features

open access: yesCase Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2017
Background. Hyperparathyroidism is underdiagnosed in pregnancy, yet early diagnosis is necessary for the potentially severe sequelae of hypercalcemia for both the woman and fetus. Case.
