Machine Learning–Driven Near‐ and Mid‐Infrared Chemometrics for Rapid, Cost‐Effective COVID‐19 Screening in Dried Plasma

Journal of Chemometrics, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for rapid, accurate, and cost‐effective diagnostic alternatives to conventional methods such as RT‐qPCR and immunoassays. In this study, we explored the potential of vibrational spectroscopy, specifically near‐infrared (NIR) and mid‐infrared (MID) spectroscopy, for detecting SARS‐CoV‐2 ...

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.
We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Global trend of food‐induced anaphylaxis: Up to date

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract This review examines the evolving global landscape of food‐induced anaphylaxis (FIA), revealing critical epidemiological shifts that challenge traditional allergen management paradigms. As the leading cause of anaphylaxis worldwide, FIA demonstrates striking geographic, age‐specific, and temporal patterns that reflect broader changes in ...
