Objective
This study aimed to assess whether diabetes mellitus (DM) or obesity is an independent risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) outcomes and to explore whether the risk conferred by one condition is modified by the other.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study of inpatient adults with COVID‐19 used multivariable Cox regression to determine the independent effects of...
In article number 2004146, Hadar Ben‐Yoav and co‐workers introduce a sensory device that can test unprocessed urine and quantify dopamine levels. By utilizing intelligent chemometric models for fingerprint identification, the device detects and separates overlapping electrochemical signatures in urine to arrive at its solution. Being able to rapidly detect the dopamine levels in urine is highly advantageous...
Designing functional materials as electrode coatings to transduce high‐quality information about redox molecules in biofluids is crucial for developing the next‐generation medical devices. Rapidly analyzing the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) urinary levels can enable point‐of‐care testing for neuroendocrine tumors. A novel sensing electrodes array modified with biopolymer chitosan and electrocatalytic...
