Sensitive Biosensor That Uses Smartphone Camera To Spot Disease Proteins In Minutes In A Nutshell What’s new? UC Berkeley researchers have developed a smartphone-based biosensor that uses the ...

Procalcitonin emerged as a strong diagnostic marker that may boost early SAP detection when combined with predictive models.

However, to be useful in clinical practice, they need to add new information that might aid decision-making. Until new data emerge, procalcitonin and D-dimer should not be routinely measured in acute ...

Abstract Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are important biological markers used in the diagnosis of severe infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consistency of blood ...

Procalcitonin was measured in all patients at admission from operating theater to PICU, and on postoperative day 1 and 2 (POD0, POD1, and POD2, respectively) as long as the children remained in PICU.
