Neurofilament Light Chain in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Blood Identifies Patients With Minimal and Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is an underdiagnosed complication of liver cirrhosis, associated with progression to overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The Portosystemic Hepatic Encephalopathy Score (PHES) is the recommended diagnostic standard, but its use is hindered by resource constraints and limited accuracy. Neurofilament

Stability of Phosphatidylethanol in Dry Blood Spot Cards [PDF]

Alcohol and Alcoholism, 2015
The analysis of phosphatidylethanol, a promising direct ethanol metabolite, in dry blood spots (PEth-DBS) is advantageous due to ease of storage, transportation and minimal invasiveness of capillary blood collection. One potential application of PEth-DBS is to confirm prenatal alcohol exposure in newborns suspected of FASD; however, stability of PEth ...

Assessing the sensitivity and specificity of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) cutoffs to identify alcohol exposed pregnancies

Current Research in Toxicology, 2023
In the literature on alcohol use biomarkers, there has been debate as to what a valid and/or utilitarian cut off level should be for various research applications.

Phosphatidylethanol blood analysis

Annales de Biologie Clinique, 2019
This article aims to place the phosphatidylethanol (PEth) blood test in the detection area of ethanol consumption causing alcohol-related disorders, to present the current methods of analysis, data on interpretation, some practical applications and the prospects of use of this biomarker. PEth is a minor metabolite of ethanol.

Phosphatidylethanol in Maternal or Neonatal Blood to Detect Alcohol Exposure during Pregnancy: A Systematic Review

Life, 2022
Background: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy, even at low doses, may damage the fetus. Pregnant women tend to underreport their alcohol consumption generating the need for sensitive and specific biomarkers, among which PEth has emerged due to its ...

Thermotropic properties of phosphatidylethanols

Biophysical Journal, 1996
Phosphatidylethanol is formed when ethanol substitutes in the transphosphatidylation reaction catalyzed by phospholipase D. The structural and thermotropic properties of dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanol and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanol have been studied using differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and 31P nuclear magnetic ...
