    Abstract Background: Cardiac biomarkers have increasing application in pediatric populations, including congenital heart disease, myocarditis, and heart failure. Clinical practice is limited by evidence gaps in pediatric reference limits to inform clinical decision-making. The current study aimed to establish comprehensive pediatric reference limits for N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in the CALIPER cohort of healthy children and adolescents.
    Methods: Analytical immunoassay performance was assessed through precision, linearity, and method comparison (Abbott Alinity ci system). Subsequently, approximately 200 serum samples collected from apparently healthy children (birth to 18 years) were analyzed for hs-cTnI and NT-proBNP. Reference limits (2.5th, 97.5th, and 99th percentiles) were established as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute EP-28A3c guidelines with associated 90% confidence intervals.
    Results: Of all pediatric serum samples analyzed, 46% had detectable hs-cTnI concentrations (limit of detection: 1.3 ng/L). Both hs-cTnI and NT-proBNP demonstrated markedly elevated neonatal concentrations with 99th percentiles of 55.8 and 1785 ng/L, respectively. No statistically significant age-specific differences were observed beyond 1 year of age across all cardiac biomarkers examined. No sex-specific association was observed between hs-cTnI and NT-proBNP concentration and adolescence.
    Conclusions: We report age-specific reference limits for hs-cTnI and NT-proBNP in a healthy Canadian cohort of children and adolescents measured using Alinity immunoassays for the first time. These data support the need for pediatric-specific interpretation to reduce misinformed clinical decision-making and calls to action larger cohort studies such that reference limits can be more robustly defined.

    Abstract The intestine represents the body's largest interface between internal organs and external environments except for its nutrient and fluid absorption functions. It has the ability to sense numerous endogenous and exogenous signals from both apical and basolateral surfaces and respond through endocrine and neuronal signaling to maintain metabolic homeostasis and energy expenditure. The intestine also harbours the largest population of microbes that interact with the host to maintain human health and diseases. Furthermore, the gut is known as the largest endocrine gland, secreting over 100 peptides and other molecules that act as signaling molecules to regulate human nutrition and physiology. Among these gut-derived hormones, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and -2 have received the most attention due to their critical role in intestinal function and food absorption as well as their application as key drug targets. In this review, we highlight the current state of the literature that has brought into light the importance of GLP-1 and GLP-2 in orchestrating intestine-microbiota-immune system crosstalk to maintain intestinal barrier integrity, inflammation, and metabolic homeostasis.

    Abstract Background: Humoral response against SARS-CoV-2 is increasingly accepted as the central correlate of immune protection. Recent pediatric seroprevalence data are extremely limited. Significant knowledge gaps also exist in immune response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in children. As children demonstrate distinct response to naïve infection relative to adults, it is essential to investigate age-specific differences in seroprevalence and antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
    Methods: Seroprevalence was assessed through two cross-sectional serosurveys prior to COVID-19 vaccination approval in children <5 years using residual patient specimens (n = 2902). To assess antibody response post-vaccination, 842 participants (580 children, 262 adults) were prospectively recruited with informed consent. Participation required completion of a health questionnaire and blood donation. Samples were collected at varying times post-vaccination and assayed using the Abbott AdviseDx SARS-CoV-2 IgG II and DiaSorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG assays.
    Results: Significant increases in seroprevalence were observed between the first and second serosurveys in unvaccinated children <6 months to 5 years (38-75%). In the prospective vaccination cohort, serokinetic response decreased with time post-dose of an mRNA vaccine. Measured IgG titres were significantly higher in children relative to adults across all time points.
    Conclusions: This is the largest evaluation of quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays in a cohort of Canadian children, adolescents, and adults. Findings suggest high rates of SARS-CoV-2 exposure among unvaccinated young children in the Toronto community. Additional data supports children have higher antibody titres relative to adults post-vaccination.

    Abstract Diagnosis, prognostication, and monitoring of maternal health throughout pregnancy relies on laboratory testing, including but not limited to key markers of thyroid, hepatic, cardiac, hematology, and renal function. Dynamic physiological processes during gestation significantly influence the maternal biochemistry that supports both the mother and fetus. Resultant changes in blood biochemistry alter the expected values of common laboratory tests. However, the importance of pregnancy-specific reference intervals for laboratory test result interpretation and appropriate monitoring of maternal health and complications is underappreciated. Most clinical laboratories continue to use non-pregnant adult reference intervals for laboratory test interpretation in pregnancy. The current review summarizes and critically evaluates the available literature regarding physiological and metabolic adaptations in pregnancy and their influence on common biomarkers of health and disease. The main laboratory parameters discussed include thyroid, hepatic, metabolic, renal, hematology, inflammatory, and cardiac markers. Considering the available data, further studies are urgently needed to establish trimester-specific reference intervals in healthy pregnant women on updated analytical platforms. Without such data, the standard of clinical laboratory service in pregnancy remains compromised and affects the quality of maternal-fetal healthcare.
