Novel Hydrurus species (Chrysophyceae) and their adaptations to high-altitude European and Arctic snowfields. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Physicians' prediction for the assessment of atypical pathogens in respiratory tract infections
Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 226-234, November 2020., 2020 Our study indicates that while physicians' predictions were associated with the detection of atypical pathogens, overestimation was observed. The criteria for atypical pneumonia did not perform well for accurately diagnosing atypical pathogen infection in patients with a fever and cough.

Evaluation of real-time PCR for diagnosis of
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006 Background Nucleic acid amplification of the IS481 region by PCR is more sensitive than culture for detection and diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis but the assay has known cross-reactivity for Bordetella holmesii and its use as a routine diagnostic assay
