Diagnostic performance of adenosine deaminase activity in pleural fluid in tuberculous pleural effusion and relevant factors: a single-center experience with 1,491 consecutive patients

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Objective Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a widely-used diagnostic test for tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), but its accuracy, optimal diagnostic threshold and relevant factors are controversial or unclear. We aimed to reassess these diagnostic variables

Substrate Characterization of Mycobacterial Kinase PknG Revealing PknG‐KARS‐MAPK Phosphorylation Signaling Axis in Host

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
This study employed multi‐omics approaches to investigate the regulatory mechanism of Mycobacterium PknG on host cell processes. We found that host lysine‐tRNA ligase (KARS) is a potential substrate of PknG; and PknG can regulate the immune response by catalyzing the phosphorylation of KARS at T592 and T595 sites, affecting the phosphorylation level in

Diagnostic Performance of Comprehensive Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Pediatric Tuberculosis in Spain: A Prospective Observational Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In children with presumptive tuberculosis, comprehensive point‐of‐care (cPOCUS) identified key thoracic abnormalities with high specificity and excellent inter‐reader reliability. Although diagnostic sensitivity was modest and examinations often incomplete, cPOCUS shows promise as a complementary, radiation‐free imaging tool.
