A hemodialysis patient with Mycobacterium avium complex pericarditis in which remarkable presepsin elevation was not accompanied by procalcitonin elevation

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2020
Background The application of presepsin for diagnosing infections in hemodialysis (HD) patients has not been confirmed yet. In addition, whether presepsin can detect atypical mycobacterial infection or not remains unknown.

Rapid method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis identification using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry analysis of mycolic acids [PDF]

, 2013
Mycolic acids (MAs), which play a crucial role in the architecture of mycobacterial cell walls, were analyzed using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. A targeted analysis based on the 10 most abundant and characteristic multiple reaction

Clinical Characteristics, Molecular Diagnosis, and Drug Resistance Profiles of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infections: A Retrospective Analysis Using PCR Melting Curve Technology

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging global pathogens. This study aimed to analyze the clinical features, species distribution, and drug resistance profiles of NTM infections in a northern Chinese hospital. A retrospective cohort study included 1769 patients with suspected mycobacterial infection from August 2023 to July 2025.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
