Evaluation of a novel point‐of‐care test kit, ABSOGEN™ PCT, in semi‐quantitative measurement of procalcitonin in whole blood
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis"
DOI: 10.1002/jcla.22111
Abstract: 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. point‐of‐care testing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10753-020-01279-w
Abstract: Pneumonia is usually caused by a wide variety of pathogen infection. The underlying mechanism contributing to pneumonia remains elusive. Here, the role of microRNA-497-3p (miR-497-3p) was explored in bacterial pneumonia. The expression levels of miR-497-3p… read more here.
