RPA Combined With CRISPR/Cas12a for Rapid and Ultrasensitive Detection Dual‐Gene of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Journal of Molecular Recognition, Volume 39, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing issue of infections caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) necessitates rapid and reliable diagnostic methods. While existing RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a platforms have demonstrated potential for MRSA detection, most rely on single‐gene targets or require multiple Cas enzymes.

Prehospital Risk Stratification Using Unsupervised Machine Learning in STEMI

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
Machine learning identified three phenotypes with 30‐day mortality of 3.4%, 22.1%, and 75%. Phenotype‐2 reveals an "occult high‐risk" group: hemodynamically stable yet six‐fold higher mortality. ABSTRACT Background ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) exhibits substantial clinical heterogeneity complicating prehospital risk stratification ...
