| calprotectin stool test instructions: Point-of-care testing Peter Luppa, Ralf Junker, 2018-07-18 The underlying technology and the range of test parameters available are evolving rapidly. The primary advantage of POCT is the convenience of performing the test close to the patient and the speed at which test results can be obtained, compared to sending a sample to a laboratory and waiting for results to be returned. Thus, a series of clinical applications are possible that can shorten the time for clinical decision-making about additional testing or therapy, as delays are no longer caused by preparation of clinical samples, transport, and central laboratory analysis. Tests in a POC format can now be found for many medical disciplines including endocrinology/diabetes, cardiology, nephrology, critical care, fertility, hematology/coagulation, infectious disease and microbiology, and general health screening. Point-of-care testing (POCT) enables health care personnel to perform clinical laboratory testing near the patient. The idea of conventional and POCT laboratory services presiding within a hospital seems contradictory; yet, they are, in fact, complementary: together POCT and central laboratory are important for the optimal functioning of diagnostic processes. They complement each other, provided that a dedicated POCT coordination integrates the quality assurance of POCT into the overall quality management system of the central laboratory. The motivation of the third edition of the POCT book from Luppa/Junker, which is now also available in English, is to explore and describe clinically relevant analytical techniques, organizational concepts for application and future perspectives of POCT. From descriptions of the opportunities that POCT can provide to the limitations that clinician’s must be cautioned about, this book provides an overview of the many aspects that challenge those who choose to implement POCT. Technologies, clinical applications, networking issues and quality regulations are described as well as a survey of future technologies that are on the future horizon. The editors have spent considerable efforts to update the book in general and to highlight the latest developments, e.g., novel POCT applications of nucleic acid testing for the rapid identification of infectious agents. Of particular note is also that a cross-country comparison of POCT quality rules is being described by a team of international experts in this field. |

| calprotectin stool test instructions: Mechanisms Underlying Host-Microbiome Interactions in Pathophysiology of Human Diseases Jun Sun, Pradeep K. Dudeja, 2018-01-26 Only recently have we begun to appreciate the role of microbiome in health and disease. Environmental factors and change of life style including diet significantly shape human microbiome that in turn appears to modify gut barrier function affecting nutrient & electrolyte absorption and inflammation. Approaches that can reverse the gut dysbiosis represent as reasonable and novel strategies for restoring the balance between host and microbes. In the book, we offer summary and discussion on the advances in understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms of microbial host interactions in human diseases. We will not only discuss intestinal bacterial community, but also viruses, fungi and oral microbiome. Microbiome studies will facilitate diagnosis, functional studies, drug development and personalized medicine. Thus, this book will further highlight the microbiome in the context of health and disease, focusing on mechanistic concepts that underlie the complex relationships between host and microbes. |
| calprotectin stool test instructions: Biomarkers in Autoimmune Diseases of the Central Nervous System Mei-Ping Ding, Long-Jun Wu, Shougang Guo, Honghao Wang, Yin-Xi Zhang, 2023-09-25 Autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are a group of complex and disabling disorders characterized by the immune system mistakenly attacking the CNS. During the last 2 decades, we have witnessed a rapidly evolving spectrum of CNS autoimmune diseases, which has become a research hotspot in neurology. These include CNS inflammatory demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optical spectrum disorders, paraneoplastic, and other autoimmune encephalomyelitis and CNS involvement in systemic autoimmune diseases. Recently, although remarkable discoveries have accumulated more understanding of the autoimmune basis behind the physiopathologic mechanism, the exact pathogenic processes are still unclear. Patients may present with a variety of manifestations, posing a great challenge to diagnosis and management. The determination of biomarkers plays a significant role in CNS autoimmune diseases. Biomarkers can reflect the presence, nature, and intensity of certain immune responses triggered by both genetic and environmental processes, and bear great importance in guiding clinical diagnosis, estimating disease risk or prognosis, evaluating disease severity, and monitoring progression or response to therapy. For instance, the detection of disease-specific antibodies can contribute to the accurate diagnosis and precise treatment. Moreover, identifying the diverse biomarkers could further help to achieve the ultimate goal of personalized medicine. |

| calprotectin stool test instructions: Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids Gabriel D. Dakubo, 2019-09-27 The ability to measure and monitor cancer biomarkers in “body fluid biopsy” should greatly impact oncologic practice. “Biomarkers in Proximal Fluids”, the third of the “Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids” series details cancer signatures in none or minimally circulating body fluids including saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, exhaled breath condensate, nipple aspirate fluid, gastric and pancreatic juice, stool, urine, and prostatic, peritoneal and cerebrospinal fluid. These fluids are enriched with biomarkers, especially those emanating from cells of the proximal tissue. Chapter 1 examines the global burden of cancer and the need for regional efforts at primary prevention, early detection and patient care. Chapters 2-12 address tissue-specific biomarkers in associated body fluids. The tumor interstitial fluid as a microenvironment rich in cancer biomarkers is detailed in chapter 13, while chapter 14 looks at the human body fluid microbiome and its evolving role in cancer. Commercially available assays using proximal fluids are examined at the end of the respective chapters. This book complements its predecessors and is equally useful to oncologists, cancer researchers, clinicians, medical students, nurses, diagnostic laboratory and pharmaceutical industry personnel. |

| calprotectin stool test instructions: Change in Epidemiology and Etiology of Respiratory Tract and Gastrointestinal Infections during COVID-19 Pandemic Philippe Gautret, Philippe Colson, Jaffar Al-Tawfiq, 2024-08-28 The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the epidemiology and etiology of respiratory tract and gastrointestinal infections. The implementation of control measures such as social distancing and hand hygiene was associated with a decrease in the incidence of some respiratory and gastrointestinal infections caused by other viruses and bacteria. Epidemiological data suggest that the incidence of respiratory tract infections other than SARS-CoV-2 infection has decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, possibly due to the adoption of several non-pharmaceutical interventions in public areas. Currently, there is very little research on the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious pathogens in terms of microbiome and virome. As a matter of fact, changes in the epidemiology of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections may be due to other causes than SARS-CoV-2-specific control measures. It is still unclear whether these changes might result from direct interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and the microbiome and/or virome. Continuous and ongoing efforts to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on infectious diseases are critical in advancing scientific discovery for prevention and treatment strategies for future pandemics. Through this research theme, we aim to explore scientific gaps related to our understanding of the changes in epidemiology and pathogenic agents responsible for respiratory tract and gastrointestinal infections during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
