- This study investigates the reliability of tuberculosis (TB) testing using interferon-gamma-release assays (IGRAs) in patients who have had COVID-19 and aims to understand the prevalence of indeterminate results after infection or vaccination.
- Through a systematic review of research articles, the study evaluates 2107 patients and finds that approximately 26% of QFT-TB tests in COVID-19 patients yield indeterminate results.
- Factors such as the severity of COVID-19, steroid treatment, and certain blood parameters were linked to higher rates of indeterminate IGRA results, suggesting a need for further research in this area.
Despite its deleterious effect on healthy cells and highly regenerating cells such as spermatozoa, Doxorubicin (DOX) is still one of the most used anticancer drugs in the last decades. The present work aimed to investigate the ability of the selenium (Se) and the thiocyanoacetamide (T) to reduce DOX toxicity in gonad. Adult male rats were treated with DOX intravenously (i.
