Novel Laboratory Approaches in Heavy Chain Disease With Discordant Immunoglobulin Quantitation: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated a rare case of γ‐heavy chain disease (γ‐HCD) through an integrated laboratory approach. Routine protein analyses (serum protein electrophoresis, immunotyping, and serum/urine immunofixation) identified an IgG monoclonal component without detectable light chains.

Antibacterial Activity of Fresh and Autoclaved Platelet‐Rich Fibrin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa: An In Vitro Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This in vitro study compared the antibacterial effects of fresh and autoclaved platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). Using standardized methodologies, that is, disk diffusion, colony‐forming unit assays, and scanning electron microscopy, this study reported that both fresh and autoclaved PRF exhibit antibacterial effects

Impact of conductive magnetite nanoparticles and anode polarization on glucose fermentation

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Electrically conductive materials and electrochemical stimulation strategies are increasingly explored to steer microbial fermentation towards desired metabolic outputs. These approaches also hold remarkable potential to couple wastewater treatment (WWT) to the production of value‐added compounds, in turn enhancing environmental ...

Mortality after broad‐ versus narrow‐spectrum antibiotic treatment for patients with nursing and healthcare‐associated pneumonia: A nationwide retrospective cohort study

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nursing and healthcare‐associated pneumonia (NHCAP) is defined as pneumonia occurring in individuals with frequent healthcare contact, such as residents of care facilities or patients with impaired activities of daily living. The effectiveness of broad‐spectrum antibiotics in treating NHCAP remains unclear.

Diversity and random forest models of oral microbiomes in periodontal health using publicly available data

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence on the 16S metabarcoding of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health remains limited. We aimed to analyze the diversity and potential of machine‐learning models of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health. Methods A total of 848 samples (supragingival = 210;
