A novel multimodal approach for the assessment of phlebotomy performance in nurses

Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2023
Phlebotomy is presumably the most challenging preanalytical aspect in laboratory medicine. In Europe, inpatient phlebotomy is performed by nurses in 45–60 % of cases. We aimed to develop and test a novel phlebotomy assessment tool for nurses.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Over Plasma Links Analytes to Cognitive Decline in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify inflammatory analytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma associated with cognitive decline in cognitively normal (CN) older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods In a longitudinal study of 118 CN older adults (65–80 years, 54% APOE ε4, 26% preclinical AD), 1331 CSF and 1501 plasma analytes were ...

Precision Nanomedicine for Traumatic Neural Injury: Functional Paradigms and Translational Frameworks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review presents a pathology‐driven framework unifying nanomedicine across TBI, SCI, and PNI. Epidemiological evidence and comparative single‐cell transcriptomic reanalysis define shared pathological modules, injury‐specific effectors, and therapeutic bottlenecks. Six functional paradigms connect nanomaterial structure and biological fate to injury‐

Metastasis Pattern‐Specific Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Gastric Cancer: From Surgical Specimens to Clinical Translation

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Gastric cancer metastasis should be considered according to its anatomical route, because lymphatic, peritoneal, and hematogenous dissemination involve partly distinct molecular mechanisms. This review summarizes metastasis pattern‐associated and pattern‐specific molecules identified using surgical specimens, evaluates their evidence and translational ...
