Serum Sema7A is increased in patients with acute aortic dissection
CONCLUSIONS: Sema7A is highly expressed in patients with AAD. Sema7A might be a valuable biomarker for the early diagnosis of AAD and has the potential to differentiate AAD from AMI and PE.PMID:37698489 | DOI:10.1080/14737159.2023.2254693 (Source: Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics)

Biomarkers to guide immunomodulatory treatment: where do we stand?
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2023 Sep 10. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2023.2258063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: This review summarizes current progress in the development of biomarkers to guide immunotherapy in oncology, rheumatology and critical illness.AREAS COVERED: An extensive literature search was performed about biomarkers classifying patients' immune responses to guide immunotherapy in oncology, rheumatology and critical illness. Surface markers, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), genetic biomarkers, such as tumor mutation load, and circulating tumor DNA are biomarkers associated with the effectiveness o...

Point-of-care testing for viral-associated pulmonary aspergillosis
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2023 Sep 9. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2023.2257597. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Over the last years, severe respiratory viral infections, particularly those caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the influenza virus, have emerged as risk factor for viral-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (VAPA) among critically ill patients. Delays in diagnosis of VAPA are associated with increased mortality. Point-of-care-tests may play an important role in earlier diagnosis of VAPA and thus improve patient outcomes.AREAS COVERED: The following review will give an upda...
