Lymph‐based liquid biopsy: Current progress and future potential

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Recent evidence under the revised Starling principle indicates that lymph‐based liquid biopsies may offer superior diagnostic performance over blood‐based counterparts in certain clinical scenarios, such as early‐stage solid tumor detection. Currently, various biomarkers within the lymphatic system show significant diagnostic potential for a range of ...

The Application Value of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing in Moderate‐to‐Severe Bronchiectasis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study analyzed the clinical data of 52 patients with moderate‐to‐severe bronchiectasis who were admitted to our hospital. It explored the diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) in identifying infectious pathogens in patients with moderate‐to‐severe bronchiectasis, and clarified the ...

Pyrazinoic acid, the active form of the anti-tuberculosis drug pyrazinamide, and aromatic carboxylic acid analogs are protonophores

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Pyrazinoic acid is the active form of pyrazinamide, a first-line antibiotic used to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. However, the mechanism of action of pyrazinoic acid remains a subject of debate, and alternatives to pyrazinamide in cases of

Mortality after broad‐ versus narrow‐spectrum antibiotic treatment for patients with nursing and healthcare‐associated pneumonia: A nationwide retrospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nursing and healthcare‐associated pneumonia (NHCAP) is defined as pneumonia occurring in individuals with frequent healthcare contact, such as residents of care facilities or patients with impaired activities of daily living. The effectiveness of broad‐spectrum antibiotics in treating NHCAP remains unclear.

When more sugar is better—a GPI side chain modification results in a less virulent phenotype during a protozoan infection

mBio
The assembly and function of side chain modifications of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) units (anchors or free forms) are poorly defined. In a recent study, two enzymes, PIGJ and PIGE, of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii were identified and ...
