REV-ERBs as regulators of circadian rhythm, neuroinflammation, and glial lipid homeostasis in Alzheimer’s disease. A narrative review
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, amyloid-β and tau aggregation, and chronic neuroinflammation, processes that are tightly coupled to circadian and metabolic dysfunction. REV-ERBα (NR1D1) and REV...

Longitudinal agreement of repeated critical haemoglobin measurements as evidence of sustained analytical quality
Dear Editors, Haemoglobin (Hb) values below 70 g/L are widely recognised as critical results and have traditionally prompted repeat analysis prior to reporting. This practice emerged as a quality assurance safeguard intended to detect po...

Intracranial Candida parapsilosis infection occurring 2 years after burr-hole drainage for chronic subdural hematoma: a case report
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common condition affecting patients undergoing neurosurgical treatment for which burr-hole drainage remains the standard treatment. Postoperative fungal infections following this procedur...

Nucleic acid testing-optimized HIV diagnostic algorithms: a multimethod comparative effectiveness analysis in clinical practice
Background: Global and Chinese efforts still face significant gaps in achieving the first 95% of the “95-95-95” target, with persistently high and rising rates of late HIV diagnosis. This study evaluates RNA/DNA quantification, RNA quali...

Use of EQA for assessing variation in post-analytical interpretation of results using a clinical case of ?adrenal insufficiency taking into consideration variation in analytical performance of cortisol
Introduction: Laboratory medicine is evolving at a rapid rate, not only in terms of the repertoire of tests available and automation of the laboratory and procedures, but also in how laboratory data is used within “calculated tests,” alg...

VSL#3® supplementation improves fatigue in long COVID: results from the DELong#3 randomized placebo-controlled trial
Background: Long COVID is frequently characterized by persistent fatigue and impaired quality of life. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis and immune dysregulation may contribute to symptom persistence. We evaluate...

Pleiotropic effects of GDF-15 to regulate nutritional status: perspectives from body composition to nutrition-related disorders
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), a stressful cytokine of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays pivotal roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Most recently, its pleiotropic effects rega...
