Article Abstract
The diagnostic performance and clinical utility of fecal calprotectin (FC), fecal immunochemical occult blood test (FIT), leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG), C-reactive protein (CRP), and prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) as established biomarkers for ulcerative colitis (UC) were evaluated. Significant correlations were observed between the clinical activity index, Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES), and each biomarker. Among MES groups, fecal biomarkers demonstrated significant differences, except between MES 2 and MES 3. CRP and LRG showed significant differences, except between MES 1 and MES 2. PGE-MUM exhibited significant differences across all MES groups. Areas under the curve (AUCs) for receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis in predicting MES 0 or 1 were as follows: FC, 0.891; FIT, 0.853; LRG, 0.723; CRP, 0.747; PGE-MUM, 0.795. For predicting MES 0 alone, AUCs were as follows: FC, 0.885; FIT, 0.845; LRG, 0.708; CRP, 0.691; PGE-MUM, 0.732. In distinguishing between each MES group, fecal biomarkers exhibited the highest AUC and accuracy in differentiating MES 0 from MES 1, whereas LRG, CRP, and PGE-MUM were most effective in differentiating MES 2 from MES 3. In summary, in UC, fecal biomarkers effectively detect mucosal healing, whereas LRG, CRP, and PGE-MUM are valuable for assessing mucosal healing and active inflammation.

This study presents a renewable electricity-driven microbial electrosynthesis (MES) system integrated with biological nitrogen removal (BNR) to achieve carbon-negative wastewater treatment. The MES system converts CO₂ into acetate, which is directly utilized as an internal carbon source for denitrification. Incorporation of biochar-derived conductive materials enhanced electron transfer, increasing acetate productivity to 1.

Schistosome parasites are known to modulate host immune responses, which is achieved in part through the release of excretory/secretory (ES) products, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). During chronic schistosomiasis, increased regulatory responses are found, which include enhanced IL-10 production by B (Breg) cells. ES products from schistosome eggs are able to induce IL-10 production by B cells.

Background: When using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for single-analyte sensing, recognition is commonly achieved through interactions with capping ligands attached to the QDs surface. These ligands form an organic layer that provides stability in solution and assures selectivity by binding the target analyte via surface functional groups. However, a common analytical challenge arises in the subsequent stage of the QD-based sensing scheme.

DNA crosslink-inducing drugs are widely used in clinical settings for treatment of solid tumors. Double strand breaks (DSBs) that arise during interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair are crucial determinants of the therapeutic response, as they lead to cell death if not repaired. DSBs can be repaired through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), theta-mediated end joining (TMEJ), and homologous recombination (HR).

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a context-specific, nurse-driven medication errors bundle in reducing the incidence of medication errors (MEs) by ≥ 50% in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Methods: We conducted a prospective, before-and-after quality improvement study, between February and November 2023, in a 15-bedded multidisciplinary PICU of a tertiary public hospital in northern India. Prescriptions advised to children hospitalized during the study period were analyzed.
