Analytical and Workflow Performance of a High‐Throughput Chemiluminescent Immunoassay System in a Clinical Laboratory

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Analytical and operational performance evaluation of the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer in a clinical laboratory in Taiwan. ABSTRACT Background Increasing test volumes and shorter turnaround time (TAT) requirements, particularly in acute‐care settings, challenge clinical laboratories to maintain accurate immunoassay testing.

Extreme Heterophilic Antibody Interference in BNP Immunoassay: A Case Report and Systematic Investigation Protocol

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A 53 year‐old male with type 2 diabetes presented extremely elevated BNP (> 4000 pg/mL) but normal NT‐proBNP and cardiac function. Systematic verification confirmed severe heterophilic antibody (HAMA) interference in the BNP chemiluminescence immunoassay.

Early-pregnancy N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level is inversely associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy diagnosed after 35 weeks of gestation

Scientific Reports
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are among the major causes of high maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality rates. Patients with HDP have significantly elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels at diagnosis;

Asymptomatic Giant Right Ventricular Myxoma in an Adolescent: A Rare Case Report With Favorable Surgical Outcome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We report a 13‐year‐old female with a giant right ventricular myxoma extending to the pulmonary trunk. The tumor was diagnosed by multimodal imaging and completely resected, with favorable short‐term outcomes. ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) myxomas account for < 5% of cardiac myxomas and are often asymptomatic, easily overlooked.

Pediatric Cardiac Function Staging and Management Recommendations

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global prevalence of heart failure in children continues to increase, accompanied by a growing disease burden. To advance early prevention and intervention by shifting the focus upstream in the disease process, the Cardiovascular Group of the Pediatrics Society of the Chinese Medical Association has introduced the concept of pediatric ...

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

Circulating Musclin is associated with skeletal muscle function and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in patients with cancer

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Musclin (osteocrin) is a skeletal muscle‐derived peptide that has been implicated in cardioprotective signalling pathways. Its relevance in cancer patients, who frequently experience muscle wasting and cardiotoxicity, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether circulating Musclin levels reflect functional capacity and

A comprehensive review of cancer‐induced cardiac wasting

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer is frequently accompanied by cachexia, a systemic syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, with or without loss of fat mass. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer can also induce cardiac muscle wasting, which is associated with structural cardiac remodelling, impaired contractile function and the development of ...

Cardiovascular toxicity from immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy: an inflammatory continuum

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has markedly improved outcomes in advanced malignancies but has also revealed a distinct spectrum of cardiovascular immune‐related adverse events. Myocarditis represents the most severe manifestation, while non‐inflammatory left ventricular dysfunction and vascular inflammation have emerged as additional ...
