Use of a rapid digital microfluidics-powered immunoassay for assessing measles and rubella infection and immunity in outbreak settings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has a high measles incidence despite elimination efforts and has yet to introduce rubella vaccine. We evaluated the performance of a prototype rapid digital microfluidics powered (DMF) enzyme-linked immunoassay (

Shared genetic and molecular architecture between neurodevelopmental disorders and type 1 diabetes

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Epidemiological and clinical studies have suggested possible associations between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), but these relationships remain inconsistent across disorders and populations. To clarify whether such mixed findings, we investigated the genetic architecture linking T1D with autism spectrum disorder

Vaccination in pediatric transplantation—General recommendations. A position paper by the European Reference Network TransplantChild

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among pediatric transplant recipients, despite significant advances in transplantation management. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to prevent infections; however, its efficacy is hindered in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)

Genomic tools for post-elimination measles molecular epidemiology using Canadian surveillance data from 2018–2020

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionMeasles is caused by the highly infectious measles virus, MeV, for which there is an effective vaccine. Monitoring of progress of measles elimination requires enhanced surveillance and tracking of MeV strains, including documenting the ...

Infection risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with biologic and targeted therapies

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
In this context, infections associated with each biologic and targeted drug are summarized to inform the stratification of RA patients, including the characteristics of the susceptible patients and their concomitant therapy. We aim to provide a benefit‐risk analysis for clinical decision, and vital indications for the prevention of highly correlated ...
