It was shown that the physiological feature in preterm infants was significantly different from that in late pre term infants, even in those <37 weeks’ gestational age, which may be useful to detect late-onset bacterial infection and sepsis.

Results suggest that the Mid band-C level may be useful as an indicator of risk for CAD and areas under ROC curves were greater for MidBand-C than for TC, LDL-C and TG when used to discriminate between the patients with CAD and normolipidemic control subjects for each sex.
Fasting remnant lipoproteins can predict postprandial hyperlipidemia

Fasting triglyceride-rich lipoprotein-related values, especially RemL-C, RLP-C), R LP-TG, and TG/apoB are useful predictors of postprandial hyperlipidemia in young healthy individuals.

- 30 March 2021
This is the first report of a patient with glucocorticoid (GC)-driven positive feedback CD who showed both ACTH suppression and tumor shrinkage by metyrapone, suggesting the presence of a new subtype of CD that is different from the majority of CD cases.
