{"title":"Biomarkers from Secondary Complications in Spinal Cord Injury.","authors":"Hani Alostaz, Li Cai","doi":"10.1007/s40495-021-00268-3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40495-021-00268-3","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose of review: </strong>In the USA, spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs in 40 people per million every year due to events such as car accidents, falls, violence, or sports injury. Secondary complications that arise from SCI are life-threatening and should be treated as early as possible. In some cases, it is not completely obvious what complication a patient may have until it is too late. Therefore, biomarkers are required to assess the levels of secondary complications after SCI. As there are several complications that pose different warning signs, different biomarkers may be beneficial in early detection, maintenance, and long-term care for patients with SCI.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Numerous studies have been conducted on biomarkers in various SCI and its related complications, such as neuropathic pain and deep vein thrombosis. In recent years, research has expanded with biomarkers discovered by cellular and molecular, genome-wide transcriptomic analysis, bioinformatics, and clinical studies. Biomarkers have allowed early prediction of the severity of secondary complications due to SCI.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>In this review, we summarize recent studies on the common biomarkers for the secondary complications related to SCI. We highlight the reliable biomarkers that have been tested, e.g., sclerostin, NGF, D-dimer, oncostatin M (OSM), microbiota, and C-reactive protein, which are valuable and with clinical importance. This review also emphasizes continuing research in biomarkers as they can provide valuable cellular and molecular insight into secondary complications after SCI.</p>","PeriodicalId":11139,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmacology Reports","volume":"8 1","pages":"20-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9491488/pdf/nihms-1835858.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33477980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most critical challenges among HIV/AIDS patients is malnutrition since it weakens the immune system and increases risk to opportunistic infections. In HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection, weight loss is prevalent due to reduced nutritional consumption, malabsorption, abnormal metabolism, and antiretroviral therapy. Sufficient nutrition is required for optimal immune function, as a result, food therapy is now considered an important adjuvant in the treatment of HIV patients.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Nutritional intervention, such as the use of dietary supplements, can help to prevent nutrient deficiency, lowering the death risk among malnourished HIV population. Immunocompromised individuals are at very high risk for COVID-19 and malnutrition increases the risk of infection by multiple folds.

It is to be ensured that HIV-positive persons continue to get enough and appropriate assistance, such as nutrition and psychological counselling, in the context of COVID-19 infection. The use of telemedicine to maintain nutritional intervention can be beneficial. To meet their nutritional needs and minimise future difficulties, PLHIV infected with COVID-19 should get specialised nutritional education and counselling.</p><p><strong>Graphical abstract: </strong></p>","PeriodicalId":11139,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmacology Reports","volume":"8 5","pages":"350-364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9362559/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40697410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
