Article Synopsis
- Dengue virus (DENV) is spreading to new temperate regions, including Europe, due to global trade and climate change, resulting in local outbreaks even among non-travelers.
- A study in the Latium Region from August to November 2023 investigated local DENV infections caused by serotypes 1, 2, and 3, using advanced sequencing techniques for genetic analysis.
- The findings revealed that the predominant DENV-1 strain, which originated from South America, had led to 42 local infections in Rome, indicating adaptation of the virus to human hosts and changes in how it interacts with antibodies and cell receptors.
Background And Objective: The benefits of the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy (TP-Tbx) versus transrectal (TR) approaches are still a matter of debate. This review aims to compare the efficacy and safety of TP-Tbx and MRI-targeted TR biopsy (TR-Tbx).
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify records of prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TP-Tbx and TR-Tbx published until May 2024.
Quantification of Torquetenovirus (TTV) viremia is becoming important for evaluating the status of the immune system in solid organ transplant recipients, monitoring the appearance of post-transplant complications, and controlling the efficacy of maintenance immunosuppressive therapy. Thus, diagnostic approaches able to scale up TTV quantification are needed. Here, we report on the development and validation of a real-time PCR assay for TTV quantification on the Hologic Panther Fusion System by utilizing its open-access channel.
