A Versatile Engineering Platform for the Fabrication of Prosthetic Venous Valves Using Electrospinning

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Percutaneous prosthetic venous valves are fabricated by embedding stents in an electrospun matrix that extends luminally to form leaflets. The design shields leaflets from hyperplastic cells, isolates struts from blood contact, and avoids discrete anchoring points.

Tumor‐educated platelets in cancer diagnostics and prognostics: A critical appraisal and roadmap for clinical translation

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Tumor‐educated platelets (TEPs) are emerging as a compelling frontier in liquid biopsy, functioning as dynamic, systemic sensors that sequester and process tumor‐derived biomolecules. This interaction imprints an integrated molecular signature of malignancy—spanning the transcriptome, proteome, lipidome, and crucially, the captured genome ...

Derivation and validation of the Pediatric Community‐Acquired Pneumonia Severity (PedCAPS) score: A prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent and costly cause of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Previous prognostic tools for CAP are limited by small samples, single‐center or retrospective designs, lack of generalizability to ED settings, lack of biomarkers, or limited objective data.

Second international round robin for the quantification of serum non-transferrin-bound iron and labile plasma iron in patients with iron-overload disorders [PDF]

, 2016
Non-transferrin-bound iron and its labile (redox active) plasma iron component are thought to be potentially toxic forms of iron originally identified in the serum of patients with iron overload.
