New solutions to old problems: A practical approach to identify samples with intravenous fluid contamination in clinical laboratories
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed algorithm identified true contamination with low false flagging rates in tertiary care urban hospital laboratories. Retrospective and prospective analysis suggest the algorithm is suitable for implementation in clinical laboratories to identify samples with possible IV fluid contamination for further investigation.PMID:38615787 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2024.110763 (Source: Clinical Biochemistry)

Salivary testosterone changes during oral glucose tolerance tests in overweight and obese men - postprandial or circadian variation?
CONCLUSIONS: SalT decreased postprandially. A concomitant decrease in serum cortisol, prolactin and TSH reflecting diurnal variation offers an alternative explanation for the decrease in SalT independent of food consumption. Further studies are required to determine whether morning temporal changes in SalT are related to food consumption or circadian rhythm or both.PMID:38591370 | DOI:10.1177/00045632241249087 (Source: Clinical Biochemistry)
