Coal workers' serum immunoglobulins provide hints for pneumoconiosis
Today, roughly 30% of the global energy needs are met by coal, according to the International Energy Agency. Over the past few decades, although many measures have been taken to protect workers against dust inhalation, coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) remains to be a significant threat to public health, especially in developing countries. Data from the global burden of disease (GBD) study showed that the number of pneumoconiosis cases increased by 66.0% from 1990 to 2017, reaching 60,000.
Mechanisms of troponin release into serum in cardiac injury associated with COVID-19 patients
In the early phases of the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) the emphasis of diagnosis and treatment was on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Diagnosis of hyperprolactinemia by single serum prolactin determination: Challenges and recommendations
Secretion of prolactin follows a circadian rhythm of secretion, and several factors play an important role in the regulation of its secretion. An accurate diagnostic evaluation is essential for the proper management of the patient, which can be accomplished through a narrow observation and critical analysis of all the prolactin results which are above the standard upper limit of normal.
