An Evaluation of a Molecular Point‐of‐Care Testing System Designed for Early Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
On the basis of RT‐qPCR results, 549 oropharyngeal swabs were classified into four groups: MP‐positive (n = 109), MP‐negative (n = 160), RSV‐positive (n = 122), and RSV‐negative (n = 158). Using these as the reference standard, we evaluated a molecular point‐of‐care testing (mPOCT) system (EasyNAT) for simultaneous MP and RSV detection.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn: Fetal RHD Genotyping, Targeted Prophylaxis, and Prenatal Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern in prenatal care primarily caused by maternal alloimmunization against fetal red blood cell antigens, most commonly the D antigen. Noninvasive fetal RHD genotyping, used as a screening tool, enables targeted antenatal prophylaxis and has been implemented in several

Xanthatin‐13‐(Pyrrolidine‐2‐Carboxylic Acid), a Sesquiterpene Lactone Isolated From Burdock Leaf, Attenuated Aβ25‐35 Toxicity and Memory Deficits in a Pharmacological Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe form of dementia, which occurrence increases with age and lifestyle conditions. It is characterized by amyloid protein accumulation forming senile plaques, hyperphosphorylated tau protein forming neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress, leading to synapse loss and cell death ...
