Discordance of 3rd and 4th generation QuantiFERON-TB Gold assays by pregnancy stages in India

Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacterial Diseases
Background: Pregnancy and HIV affect CD4+ T lymphocytes and impact performance of QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT). We compared the results of QFT with QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus), which also measures CD8+ responses to TB antigens, during pregnancy and ...

First evaluation of the performance of portable IGRA, QIAreach® QuantiFERON®-TB in intermediate TB incidence setting.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis infection (TBI) are the core elements of tuberculosis elimination. Interferon gamma release assays have advantages over the tuberculin skin test, although their implementation in low-resource settings is ...

Ecological Restoration of a Cultivated Wetland to Enhance Nitrogen Retention in a Rapidly Developing Watershed

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract For much of the coastal United States, water quality continues to worsen due to excess nitrogen (N) from agricultural production and urban development. Restoration of freshwater wetlands, especially those connected to streams (i.e., fluvial wetlands), is a promising management option for curtailing watershed inputs of N to coastal embayments ...

On the Meaning of Localization in Non‐Local Quantum Field Theory

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 6, June 2026.
In non‐local quantum field theory nature does not necessarily allow objects or events to be localized to exact mathematical points. Instead any physical measurement has a built‐in finite resolution set by the non‐locality scale. Spacetime remains continuous and Lorentz‐covariant, but below this scale pointlike localization becomes an idealization ...

In-hospital blood collection increases the rate of indeterminate results in interferon-gamma release assays

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2022
Background: The interferon (IFN)-γ release assay (IGRA) has recently been established as a method to evaluate the infection status of tuberculosis instead of the tuberculin skin test. However, indeterminate results can create challenges to interpretation.

Analysis of Radar Characteristics and Evolution Mechanisms of Supercells Inducing Three Strong Tornado Events Under Extratropical Cyclone Background

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract On the afternoon of 5 July 2024, under the influence of an extratropical cyclone, a rare triple‐tornado event struck Heze City, Shandong Province, comprising the Dongming tornado (EF3), the Juancheng tornado (EF2), and the Yuncheng tornado (EF3). These tornadoes resulted in five fatalities and substantial economic damage.
