Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Proximity to anthropogenic food sources determine roosting and nesting prevalence of feral pigeons (Columba livia) in a tropical city

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 2, April–June 2023., 2023
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is the principal mode of railway transportation in Singapore. Feral pigeons (Columba livia) commonly use the railway viaduct expansion gaps for day roosting and nesting (top figure). Feral pigeons preferred day roosting in expansion gaps where proximate anthropogenic feeding occurrences were higher (bottom left figure) and ...

Advantages and challenges of metagenomic sequencing for the diagnosis of pulmonary infectious diseases

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 646-656, October 2022., 2022
Compared with conventional diagnostic methods, metagenomic sequencing is more sensitive and better in detecting novel, rare, and unexpected pathogens. Meanwhile, it can provide more comprehensive information about pathogens. However, many challenges exist when using metagenomic sequencing. By Figdraw (www.figdraw.com).

Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for the diagnosis of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 513-521, July 2022., 2022
The clinical characteristics of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia were analysed to inform clinical treatment. Early detection of mNGS is helpful for diagnosis and prognosis, and doxycycline is the preferred treatment. Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia and evaluate the diagnostic ...
