Novel Point-Of-Care Test Kit for Procalcitonin Evaluated
In response to inflammation, procalcitonin plasma concentrations increase more rapidly than other acute-phase reactants and higher values are associated with severe disease. Procalcitonin measurements assist in determining whether antibiotic therapy should be used. More...25 Jan 2017
Novel Bioassay Developed to Determine Glucocorticoid Sensitivity
Glucocorticoids (GCs) remain the first line treatment for almost all non-infectious inflammatory diseases, ranging from acute asthma to rheumatoid arthritis. However, across all conditions, patients have a variable response to GCs with approximately 30% being non-responders. More...25 Jan 2017
Novel Procalcitonin Immunoassay Analytically Evaluated
The exact definition of sepsis has changed considerably over time, and remains controversial. This is probably due to the fact that sepsis develops as a continuum of severity, ranging from local infection, through bloodstream propagation to septic shock. More...25 Jan 2017
Early Biomarker Found for Sepsis-Induced Kidney Injury
Sepsis is a worldwide health care problem and a leading cause of death of patients in intensive care unit. On the other hand, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome of an abrupt renal dysfunction leading to uremic toxins accumulation and several organs dysfunction. More...19 Jan 2017
