Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.

Metrnβ drives sepsis immunosuppression via macrophage reprogramming: A novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Metrnβ serves as a novel prognostic biomarker for sepsis and that targeted blockade of the Metrnβ‐c‐Kit axis represents a promising therapeutic strategy for sepsis. Abstract Sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome critically driven by immunosuppression, yet lacking personalized prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Here, we provide evidence to support

Incidence, contributing factors, and predictors of diagnostic errors in medical inpatients: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diagnostic error is a major patient safety concern in hospitals, yet most studies have focused on selected high‐risk subgroups, leaving the broader general internal medicine inpatient population understudied. Objectives To determine the incidence, contributing factors, resulting harm, and predictors of diagnostic error in medical ...

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
