Characterization and elimination of a factor in serum that interferes with turbidimetry and nephelometry of lipase.

Clinical Chemistry, 1983
Abstract We studied a serum component ("pseudolipase") that interferes with both turbidimetric and nephelometric lipase measurements. Pseudolipase activity in serum was found in the presence of rheumatoid factor and in other disorders of active immune processes.

Circulating lipoprotein(a) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

J Gastroenterol Hepatol
Abstract Background and Aim Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are associated with cardiovascular diseases, existing data on Lp(a) in NAFLD are conflicting. The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to summarize and compare data on circulating Lp(a) between NAFLD patients and non‐NAFLD controls ...

Kappa Free Light Chain Index in the Real World-Do We Miss Clinically Relevant Information by Skipping Oligoclonal Banding? [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
The reflex approach for implementation of κ‐FLC index and OCB in routine diagnostics: Out of 632 samples, 419 (66.3%) samples had a κ‐FLC index < 3.5, 109 (17.2%) samples had a κ‐FLC index > 20, while 104 (16.5%) samples showed a κ‐FLC index ≥ 3.5 and ≤ 20 (within the “gray zone”).

Primary Antibody Deficiency in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Call for Immunologic Evaluation Prior to Biologic Therapy. [PDF]

Clin Otolaryngol
ABSTRACT Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is prevalent and causes a great negative impact on quality of life. Primary antibody deficiency (PAD) is highly prevalent with CRS compared to the background population. There are efficient treatment options to consider when CRS is a symptom of PAD. The condition seems to be underdiagnosed.

C‐reactive protein levels and risk of dementia—Observational and genetic studies of 111,242 individuals from the general population

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 18, Issue 11, Page 2262-2271, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Increased plasma levels of C‐reactive protein (CRP) in midlife are associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas in older age the opposite association is observed. Whether genetically determined CRP is associated with AD remains unclear. Methods A total of 111,242 White individuals from the Copenhagen General

Time to Rethink the Current Paradigm for Assessing Kidney Function in Drug Development and Beyond

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 112, Issue 5, Page 946-958, November 2022., 2022
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important health issue that affects ~ 9.1% of the world adult population. Serum creatinine is the most commonly used biomarker for assessing kidney function and is utilized in different equations for estimating creatinine clearance or glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Challenges and advances in optical 3D mesoscale imaging

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 286, Issue 3, Page 201-219, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Optical mesoscale imaging is a rapidly developing field that allows the visualisation of larger samples than is possible with standard light microscopy, and fills a gap between cell and organism resolution. It spans from advanced fluorescence imaging of micrometric cell clusters to centimetre‐size complete organisms.

Expression and existence forms of mast cell activating molecules and their antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 235-240, February 2022., 2022
First, as autoimmune diseases and allergic reactions have many similarities or overlaps, we compared the differences in serum IgE, FcεRIα, anti‐IgE, and anti‐FcεRI levels of systemic lupus erythematosus group and healthy control group for the first time.
