Proposing a two-step Decision Support System (TPIS) based on Stacked ensemble classifier for early and low cost (step-1) and final (step-2) differential diagnosis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis from non-tuberculosis Pneumonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease presenting similar symptoms to pneumonia; therefore, differentiating between TB and pneumonia is challenging. Therefore, the main aim of this study is proposing an automatic method for differential diagnosis of TB from Pneumonia.

Borderline Lepromatous Leprosy With Type 1 Reaction: A Challenging Diagnostic Case
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.ABSTRACT Borderline lepromatous leprosy with Type 1 reaction poses significant diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical features. Early recognition and differentiation are crucial, especially in endemic regions like Mexico, to ensure prompt, appropriate management and prevent complications.

Miniaturised Spotter-Compatible Multicapillary Stamping Tool for Microarray Printing [PDF]
Biotechniques. 2007 May; 42(5):590, 592, 594, 2007 Novel microstamping tool for microarray printing is proposed. The tool is capable to spot up to 127 droplets of different solutions in single touch. It is easily compatible with commercially available microarray spotters. The tool is based on multichannel funnel with polypropylene capillaries inserted into its channels. Superior flexibility is achieved

'Perfectly' curvilinear profiles for binding as determined by ITC may in fact be multiphasic [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In a structural analysis of the proteasome activator PafE in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the binding of the activator or shorter constructs to the 20S proteasome core particle (20S CP) or derivatives was measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (Bai et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 113: E1983-E1992. 2016).

Dapsone resistance inMycobacterium leprae
Leprosy Review, 2000 The folP1 gene of Mycobacterium leprae, which encodes dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS), was studied for the presence of mutations associated with resistance to dapsone (DDS). When the folP1 of several DDS-resistant clinical isolates of M. leprae were sequenced, two missense mutations were identified.

Biodegradation of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) by Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2173 [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology 74 (2008) 6187-6193, 2009 2-Ethyhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) is a major additive of fuel which is used to comply with the cetane number of diesel. Because of its wide use and possible accidental release, 2-EHN is a potential pollutant of the environment. In this study, Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2173 was selected among several strains as the best 2-EHN degrader.

On the impact of Masking and Blocking Hypotheses for measuring efficacy of new tuberculosis vaccines [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Over the past 60 years, the Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Gu\'erin (BCG) has been used worldwide to prevent tuberculosis (TB). However, BCG has shown a very variable efficacy in different trials, showing a wide range of protection in adults against pulmonary TB.
