Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

Clinical diagnostic value of simultaneous amplification and testing for the diagnosis of sputum-scarce pulmonary tuberculosis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Since 20% of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients are asymptomatic, the early detection of PTB is a challenge particularly in sputum-scarce patients and diagnostic accuracy based solely on clinical characteristics and chest X-ray/CT scans are

Improved recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from children using the microscopic observation drug susceptibility method.

, 2006
OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis presents challenges in children, because symptoms are nonspecific, sputa are not accessible, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures and smears often are negative.

CURABILITY OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS. [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1897
ABSTRACT Evidence has been recently accumulating, which goes to show that tuberculosis is not only a universal but the universal disease. Postmortem examinations made in recent years, point to the probability that 25 per cent. is much too low an estimate of the total number of infections.Schlenker made one hundred consecutive postmortem examinations on
