Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 and echocardiography in sepsis [PDF]

, 2016
Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) has emerged as a biomarker of cardiac stretch or remodeling, and has demonstrated a role in acutely decompensated heart failure. However, its role in sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction is still unknown.

Plasma calprotectin to assess susceptibility to bloodstream infections during paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia induction treatment

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Chemotherapy‐induced neutropenia, monitored by peripheral blood absolute neutrophil count (ANC), increases the risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs). However, ANC may not reflect the total neutrophil population, as it omits neutrophils at extravascular sites.

MEASUREMENT OF PROCALCITONIN IN THE CEREBROSPINAL FLUID FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS IN CHILDREN WITH MENINGITIS

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016
Background: High production of pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with procalcitonin synthesis  and  its increased  blood  levels play an important role in the pathophysiology of systemic inflammation  in generalized  bacterial  infections.

Elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein combined with procalcitonin predicts high risk of contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary intervention

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019
Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is common after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and always leads to a poor prognosis. Compared with conventional detection methods, either high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) or ...

Clinical characteristics of autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy in adults: a retrospective analysis of 9 cases

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To identify early diagnostic clues, we analysed cerebrospinal fluid and serum biomarkers in patients with autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP‐A) and compared biomarker trends with those in patients with viral meningoencephalitis, tuberculous meningoencephalitis, and anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor ...

La procalcitonina come indicatore di SIRS, sepsi e shock settico

Microbiologia Medica, 2004
Nosocomial infections are an important public health problem. Procalcitonin could be used as a clinical predictor of severe nosocomial infections. To validate procalcitonin as a diagnostic indicator of nosocomial infections, we have tested procalcitonin ...
