Recent Advances in Quantum Dots‐Based Sensors for the Detection of Tuberculosis: A Review

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 6, 12 February 2026.
Quantum dot‐based biosensors enable rapid, sensitive detection of tuberculosis by converting biomolecular interactions into fluorescent signals. Target‐specific probes recognize TB biomarkers, producing measurable optical responses. This platform offers high sensitivity, multiplexing capability, and portability, supporting early diagnosis and improved ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidylate kinase antigen assays for designating incipient, high-risk latent M.tb infection

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Precise designation of high risk forms of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis-M.tb infections (LTBI) is impossible. Delineation of high-risk LTBI can, however, allow for chemoprophylaxis and curtail majority cases of active tuberculosis (ATB ...

Impact of Geographic Distance and Prehospital Delay on Mortality and Functional Outcomes in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in a Low‐Resource Setting

Acute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Despite significantly longer prehospital delays and travel distances for rural severe TBI patients, mortality did not differ from urban patients after hospital admission, suggesting that timely tertiary care can mitigate geographic disparities, though overall functional outcomes remain poor and highlight broader system gaps.

Intention to receive Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) treatment and its associated factors among healthcare workers in a Malaysian teaching university hospital.

PLoS ONE
The acceptability of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) therapy remains low among healthcare workers (HCWs). Up to 10% of LTBI cases can reactivate into active tuberculosis, posing risks to HCWs and patients.

Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection and feasibility of TB preventive therapy among Thai prisoners: a cross-sectional study

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background Prisons are considered as major reservoirs for tuberculosis. Preventive therapy for latent TB infection (LTBI) is an adjunctive strategy to control TB. However, LTBI data in Thai prisoners is limited. This study assessed the prevalence of LTBI
