Zika (ZIKV) and Dengue (DENV) viruses are clinically significant due to their severe neurological and hemorrhagic complications. Rapid diagnostics often rely on nonstructural proteins to generate specific antibodies. This study aimed to produce IgG antibodies from the recombinant ZIKV protein and plant-expressed NS2B protein for arbovirus detection in serum and urine samples.

This study aimed to elucidate supported relationships between DGBI with marital quality and clinical attributes in married Malay women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved married Malay women with functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and FD-IBS overlap per Rome IV criteria.
Hexagonal Si Ge with suitable alloy composition promises to become a new silicon compatible direct bandgap family of semiconductors. Theoretical calculations, however, predict that the binary end point of this family, the bulk hex-Ge crystal, is only weakly dipole active. This is in contrast to hex-Si Ge , where translation symmetry is broken by alloy disorder, permitting efficient light emission.

Despite the potential of digital health services, their use in primary care is lagging. A thorough implementation is needed, including the development of implementation strategies that potentially improve the use of digital health services in primary care.
