Berkeley scientists have developed a smartphone-based biosensor that mimics coffee-ring physics to detect disease proteins ...

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

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.

The annual sepsis update distilled a year’s worth of high-impact evidence into practice-ready guidance for busy hospitalists.

A WHO report emphasises the serious global impact of antimicrobial resistance, which exacerbates the substantial burden of ...

Dr. Kimberly Trotter distilled four high-impact disease clusters—gout, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus ...

Deep learning using routine lab data showed promise in distinguishing candidemia from bacteremia but fell short of outperforming established biomarkers.

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 ...

Introduction Early diagnosis and immediate therapeutic intervention, including appropriate antibiotic therapy and goal-directed resuscitation, are necessary to reduce mortality in patients with sepsis ...
