A recent study conducted by Technical University Munich (TU Munich) in Germany has highlighted the importance of endoscopic nasal polyp scoring in the diagnosis and monitoring of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Unlike patient-reported outcomes, endoscopic scoring provides an objective measurement that is not influenced by the placebo effect. The study emphasizes that endoscopic scoring is a safer and more cost-effective alternative to computed tomography imaging for assessing the extent of the disease. The research aims to establish a unified endoscopic nasal polyp scoring system that can serve as a reference standard for researchers and practitioners involved in managing CRSwNP.

Researchers from the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal have developed a paper-based biomimetic test-strip for the detection of the cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3). The test-strip uses molecularly-imprinted polymers (MIPs) on paper substrates to capture CA15-3, and a traditional colored transduction scheme to detect the presence of the antigen. The researchers found that the MIP was able to selectively recognize CA15-3 within a range of concentrations, even in complex samples. This approach has the potential to be applied to other protein disease biomarkers, making it a suitable tool for screening glycoproteins at the point-of-care. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden have developed a paper-based sensor for detecting hyperammonemia, a condition characterized by high levels of ammonia in the body. The sensor uses plasmonic silver nanoparticles and provides a colorimetric readout that can be measured with the naked eye or a spectrometer. This new technology could help diagnose high ammonia concentrations, which are difficult to detect but can lead to serious neurological complications. The research was supported by various funding organizations and was published in the journal Nanoscale Advances. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the University of Aquila in L'Aquila, Italy, compared the accuracy of nursing diagnoses using a computerized system versus a traditional paper-based approach.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom explores the potential association between a mitochondrial haplogroup and Alzheimer's disease. The study focuses on a specific mutation called m.C2639T, which leads to the formation of a variant of the Humanin peptide called Humanin P3S. The researchers found that individuals in the Ashkenazi population who carried this mutation and the APOE4 gene had a higher proportion of individuals over the age of 95, suggesting that Humanin P3S may protect against the adverse effects of APOE4. The study raises the possibility of using Humanin P3S as a therapeutic treatment for Alzheimer's disease. [Extracted from the article]
