Phenotyping the Microcirculation [PDF]

Hypertension, 2012
The role of the microcirculation is increasingly being recognized in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease.1,2 The microcirculation is a major site of damage in most target organs of cardiovascular disease, such as the heart, brain, and kidney. Both functional and structural alterations in the small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries are the

Seroprevalence and durability of antibody responses to AstraZeneca vaccination in Ugandans with prior mild or asymptomatic COVID-19: implications for vaccine policy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionThe duration and timing of immunity conferred by COVID-19 vaccination in sub-Saharan Africa are crucial for guiding pandemic policy interventions, but systematic data for this region is scarce.

The Phenotyping Dilemma—The Challenges of a Diversified Phenotyping Community [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In the past decade, large investments have been made for plant phenotyping in terms of funding, research hours, and high-tech installations in Europe, Australia, North America and Asia. The number of actors in phenotyping has increased rapidly and the focus has gradually shifted from basic to strategic crop research linked to classic agricultural ...

Cytokine expression patterns in hospitalized children with Bordetella pertussis, Rhinovirus or co-infection

Scientific Reports, 2021
Mechanisms of interaction between Bordetella pertussis and other viral agents are yet to be fully explored. We studied the inflammatory cytokine expression patterns among children with both viral-bacterial infections.

Optimisation and Validation of a conventional ELISA and cut-offs for detecting and quantifying anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike, RBD, and Nucleoprotein IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies in Uganda

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
There is an urgent need for better immunoassays to measure antibody responses as part of immune-surveillance activities and to profile immunological responses to emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Nasopharyngeal microbiota in hospitalized children with Bordetella pertussis and Rhinovirus infection

Scientific Reports, 2021
Despite great advances in describing Bordetella pertussis infection, the role of the host microbiota in pertussis pathogenesis remains unexplored. Indeed, the microbiota plays important role in defending against bacterial and viral respiratory infections.

Phenotyping bleeding [PDF]

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2012
Although recorded evidence of phenotyping bleeding disorders extends back two millennia, standardization of phenotyping has only begun in the past half century. This was spurred by the need for greater precision in diagnosing disorders in order to select proper laboratory tests and treatment, and the realization that the bleeding history provides ...
