TBNet:Pulmonary Tuberculosis Diagnosing System using Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Tuberculosis is a deadly infectious disease prevalent around the world. Due to the lack of proper technology in place, the early detection of this disease is unattainable. Also, the available methods to detect Tuberculosis is not up-to a commendable standards due to their dependency on unnecessary features, this make such technology obsolete for a ...

Label-free optical vibrational spectroscopy to detect the metabolic state of M. tuberculosis cells at the site of disease [PDF]
, 2017 Tuberculosis relapse is a barrier to shorter treatment. It is thought that lipid rich cells, phenotypically resistant to antibiotics, may play a major role. Most studies investigating relapse use sputum samples although tissue bacteria may play an important role. We developed a non-destructive, label-free technique combining wavelength modulated Raman (

The burden of latent multidrug-resistant tuberculosis [PDF]
The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2019 In the past 10 years, there has been renewed interest in the early phases of the natural history of tuberculosis.1 Estimates suggest that around 25% of the world's population could have latent tuberculosis infection,2 5–10% of whom will develop active disease during their lifetime3 (10% annually among people with HIV).4 Failure to implement effective ...

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application
Exploration, EarlyView.This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

Epidemic modelling of bovine tuberculosis in cattle herds and badgers in Ireland [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Bovine tuberculosis, a disease that affects cattle and badgers in Ireland, was studied via stochastic epidemic modeling using incidence data from the Four Area Project (Griffin et al., 2005). The Four Area Project was a large scale field trial conducted in four diverse farming regions of Ireland over a five-year period (1997-2002) to evaluate the ...

Statistical Analysis Plan for the Drinkers' Intervention to Prevent Tuberculosis (DIPT Study) [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The Drinkers' Intervention to Prevent TB (DIPT) is a randomized controlled trial designed to determine if incentive-based approaches can reduce alcohol use and improve medication adherence to isoniazid (INH) preventive therapy in persons with HIV (PWH) co-infected with tuberculosis (TB) who engage in heavy drinking in Uganda.

iLABMED, EarlyView.A reporter phage T4::Nluc was constructed using the CRISPR/Cas9 system combined with homologous recombination and was applied for the detection of clinical Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections (UTIs). T4::Nluc exhibited superior sensitivity and specificity, and had a short detection time, making it a powerful tool for diagnosing UTIs.
