Article Abstract
Purpose: Acute phase reactants (APRs) play a critical role in inflammation. The difference in their physiological functions or the different dynamic ranges of these proteins in plasma makes it difficult to detect them simultaneously and to use several of these proteins as a tool in clinical practice.
Experimental Design: A novel multiplex assay has been designed and optimized to carry out a high-throughput and simultaneous screening of APRs, allowing the detection of each of them at the same time and in their corresponding dynamic range.
Results: Using Sars-CoV-2 infection as a model, it has been possible to profile different patterns of acute phase proteins that vary significantly between healthy and infected patients. In addition, severity profiles (acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis) have been established.
Conclusions And Clinical Relevance: Differential profiles in acute phase proteins can serve as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, among patient stratification. The design of this new platform for their simultaneous detection paves the way for them to be more extensive use in clinical practice.

BackgroundTherapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with albumin replacement has emerged as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The AMBAR trial showed that TPE could slow cognitive and functional decline, along with changes in core and inflammatory biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid.ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TPE in a real-world setting in Argentina.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patient-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) behave differently than normal ones, creating a more protective environment for leukemia cells, making relapse harder to prevent. This study aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers and elucidate relevant biological pathways in AML by leveraging microarray data and advanced bioinformatics techniques. We retrieved the GSE122917 dataset from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus and performed differential expression analysis (DEA) within R Studio to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among healthy donors, newly diagnosed AML patients, and relapsed AML patients.

Department of Translational Medicine, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.
Purpose: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a significant cause of death in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this type of graft, the intestine is particularly affected, with the loss of intestinal barrier integrity playing a key role in its onset. In this scenario, the aim of the present research was to evaluate defibrotide, a heparin-like compound, marked for severe veno-occlusive disease, as an innovative therapeutic approach for restoring intestinal barrier integrity using an in vitro model and analyzing aGVHD patients' sera and clinical data.

Objective: To determine the association between stress, as objectively measured by frequency of neighborhood gunshots and preterm birth (PTB).
Study Design: A retrospective chart review of 1675 individual births was analyzed of pregnant women who lived in the City of Syracuse, New York, United States. The frequency of gunshots was measured in the acute phase (within 1 week of delivery) and the chronic phase (sum total of all gunshots in the previous 2 years).
Serial Monitoring of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter for Prediction of Functional Outcome in Acute Ischaemic Stroke: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

Background Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can be reliably detected at the bedside using the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The functional outcome in stroke patients can be predicted with the use of acute-phase ONSD dynamics. Objectives To determine the predictive accuracy of ONSD on days 0, one, and three for the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients presented to emergency medicine as measured by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score.
