Time-and-motion tool for the assessment of working time in tuberculosis laboratories: a multicentre study [PDF]
SETTING: Implementation of novel diagnostic assays in tuberculosis (TB) laboratory diagnosis requires effective management of time and resources. OBJECTIVE: To further develop and assess at multiple centres a time-and-motion (T&M) tool as an objective ...

Identification and Validation of EST-Derived Molecular Markers, TRAP and VNTRs, for Banana Research [PDF]
The advent of high-throughput sequencing technology has generated abundant information on DNA sequences for the genomes of many plant species. Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), which are unique DNA sequences derived from a cDNA library and therefore ...

Tuberculosis transmission in Northwest of Iran: Using MIRU-VNTR, ETR-VNTR and IS6110-RFLP methods
Tuberculosis is the main cause for adults' death from a single infectious agent killing about 2 million people every year. Identifying the source of transmission infection is necessary to decrease tuberculosis. In this study we used IS6110-RFLP, MIRU-VNTR and ETR-VNTR methods to determine transmission dynamic of tuberculosis in Northwest of Iran from ...

A fundamental understanding of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) specific trajectory of LINE1 has been limited. This study reveals an unanticipated U‐shaped trajectory of LINE1 content and expression in both wild‐type and AD mouse brains, and discerns specific changes in LINE1 content and expression tied to AD neuropathology in a sex‐different manner.

Genes of the serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways and their interaction affect the expression of Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms in Dementia (BPSD). [PDF]
Although there is evidence for the involvement of genes of serotonergic and dopaminergic systems in the manifestation of the Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms in Dementia (BPSD), genetic association studies are contradictory.

ClassTR: Classifying Within-Host Heterogeneity Based on Tandem Repeats with Application to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections. [PDF]
Genomic tools have revealed genetically diverse pathogens within some hosts. Within-host pathogen diversity, which we refer to as "complex infection", is increasingly recognized as a determinant of treatment outcome for infections like tuberculosis ...

Gene polymorphisms in primary biliary cirrhosis: association with the disease and hepatic osteopathy [PDF]
Genetic factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, a common disorder in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Estrogen receptor-alpha gene (ER- ), vitamin-D-receptor gene (VDR) and IL-1-receptor-antagonist gene (IL-1RN) are all ...
