Summary: The study established reference intervals for cfDNA and found that high levels were predictive of decreased survival in both noncancer individuals and CRC patients, with associations with age, BMI, and chronic diseases. CRC development did not impact cfDNA levels until metastasis occurred.

Summary: The study aimed to establish the biological reference interval for urine methylmalonic acid (MMA) and assess the impact of age, sex, and vitamin B12 status on MMA concentrations. A prospective observational study was conducted, including individuals with normal blood count, liver and kidney function. The reference interval for urine MMA was determined to be 0.52-5.75 mmolMMA/mol creatinine, with all individuals exceeding the upper limit having a total vitamin B12 concentration of <= 238 pmol/L.

Summary: Blood biomarkers have the potential to revolutionize diagnosis and prognosis for various neurological conditions. Normative data is crucial in the validation process, especially in children due to limited knowledge on how brain development impacts biomarkers. This study aimed to establish pediatric reference intervals for serum neurofilament light (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).

Summary: The definition of immunological aging type requires establishing reference intervals for immunosenescence biomarkers based on age distribution. We determined the comprehensive immune age index IMMAX for 1605 individuals and identified age-specific centiles, allowing categorization of individuals as immunologically slow or fast aging types. The IMMAX was rescaled to equivalent years of life (EYOL) using the 50th percentile as a reference, and the immunological age gap was calculated as the difference between EYOL and chronological age.

Summary: A microfluidic analytical device based on wax-patterned Fusion 5 paper was developed for rapid nucleic acid detection of the main causal agent of chili anthracnose in Asia. The biosensor used DNA-conjugated gold nanoparticles for detection with a detection limit down to 17.42 femtomoles, offering a specific and on-site detection method within 15 minutes. The device shows potential for protein assays and has a significant impact on on-site diagnostics.

Summary: KL-6 is a promising biomarker for interstitial lung disease diagnosis and prognosis, but reference intervals for Northern Europeans have not been established. This study determined sex-partitioned reference intervals for Danish blood donors using a latex-particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay. The results highlight the importance of sex partitioning when evaluating KL-6 reference intervals and provide a basis for its clinical application.

Summary: A paper-based cell-counting method utilizing a blocking competition strategy was developed, along with a time-resolved fluorescence-blocking competitive lateral flow immunoassay (TRF-BCLFIA) for CD8 cell counting. This approach can provide an accurate CD8 cell count for whole-blood samples within 30 minutes and shows potential as a cost-effective alternative in community clinics, small hospitals, and low-resource regions where standard flow cytometry-based tools are not readily available.

Summary: A study identified a two-marker panel (CA19-9 and CA-125) that significantly improved the detection performance of PDAC. Another two-marker panel (HE4 and CEA) also outperformed CA19-9 in distinguishing IPMN from chronic pancreatitis. These biomarker panels showed potential complementarity in detecting early PDAC, and further clinical validation is warranted.

Summary: Risk stratification for cardio-vascular disease should be implemented in childhood to promote early prevention strategies, as atherosclerotic lesions can be present even in very young individuals. Evaluating pediatric CV risk factors/clinical conditions and conducting lipid profile and genetic testing can help identify children at risk of future CV events and guide appropriate therapeutic options.

Summary: The cardiovascular system and the central nervous system exhibit a coordinated developmental process during embryonic development. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital disorder, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) are common complications in CHD patients. Both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to the co-occurrence of CHD and NDD. Further research should focus on identifying common molecular mechanisms underlying this co-occurrence and promoting the research and treatment of developmental disorders related to the cardiovascular and central nervous systems.
