Usefulness of Measuring Serum Procalcitonin Levels in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Gut and Liver, 2016
Background/AimsThe relationships between serum procalcitonin, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and intestinal Beh?et’s disease (BD) have not been completely determined. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of measuring serum procalcitonin levels to assess

Plasma procalcitonin in rheumatic diseases

Reumatismo, 2011
Data on the origin and biological function of procalcitonin, the pro-hormone of calcitonin, are scarce. Since this peptide can be induced in bacterial invasive infections, serum procalcitonin levels may be useful in differential diagnosis of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This review will focus on the clinical significance of changes in serum

Real‐Time In Vivo Monitoring of Anastomotic Intestinal Ischemia Using Implantable Resorbable Organic Sensors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Resorbable impedance sensors are successfully implanted into porcine small intestinal anastomoses. Impedance was recorded for 2 hours prior, and 2 hours following ischemia induction, and a significant drop in tissue impedance was observed. Abstract Anastomotic failure remains one of the most severe complications in gastrointestinal surgery.

Photothermal–Immunomodulatory Hydrogel Reinforced by Ti3C2/ZnAl‐LDH Nanoplatform for Eradicating MRSA and Promoting Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
A NETs‐inspired Ti3C2/LDH hydrogel integrates trapping, ROS boosting, and M2‐immunomodulation for MRSA‐infected wound repair. ABSTRACT MRSA infections give rise to chronic cutaneous and advance into profound tissue invasions, including osteomyelitis and sepsis—conditions for which existing clinical interventions offer only limited efficacy. The utility

Procalcitonin Guided Antibiotic Stewardship

Biomarker Insights
Despite infection and sepsis being a major public health challenge, early detection and timely management are often hindered by several factors. These includes the similarity of clinical presentations between infectious and non-infectious conditisons, as well as limitations of current diagnostic methods such as lengthy turnaround times and low ...

The Differential Diagnosis of Coma in the ICU: Hyperacute Postoperative Guillain‐Barré Syndrome—A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare, immune‐mediated neurological disorder that can be challenging to diagnose in postoperative patients due to atypical manifestations and overlapping conditions. This case report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of GBS following vascular surgery. We present the case of a 56‐year‐old man

A Case of Common Iliac Artery Pseudoaneurysm Formation, Rupture, and Rectal Fistula Caused by Escherichia coli

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT When septic shock is combined with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding, the rupture and bleeding of a common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm caused by Escherichia coli infection should not be missed. Active surgery combined with strict anti‐infection strategies can save lives.

Antisynthetase Syndrome Mimicking Pulmonary Infection: A Diagnostic Lesson From County‐Managed Hospital

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease classified as a distinct subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, characterized by the presence of anti–aminoacyl‐transfer RNA synthetase (anti‐ARS) antibodies. Typical clinical features include myositis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), arthritis, fever, mechanic's hands ...
