Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the impact of lymph node ratio on the prognosis of patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma and aimed to create a nomogram model to improve treatment decisions.
- Data from 943 patients were analyzed to determine how various factors, including lymph node ratio, affected survival rates, with specific thresholds indicating poorer outcomes.
- The findings support using a lymph node ratio-based nomogram for personalized treatment strategies, suggesting that high-risk patients may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, while low-risk patients might avoid unnecessary treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * The study discusses 5 cases from 2018 to 2022 at the University of Texas Medical Branch, highlighting different forms of the infection, such as pulmonary and gastrointestinal.
- * It stresses the importance for healthcare professionals to understand the risk factors and clinical signs of mucormycosis for quicker diagnosis and effective treatment.
Development and evaluation of a test strip for the rapid detection of antibody against equine infectious anemia virus.
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is a serious contagious disease in horses caused by the EIAV virus, with symptoms ranging from high fever and anemia in acute stages to chronic weakness in carriers.
- - Surviving horses become lifelong carriers of the virus, complicating control measures to prevent outbreaks, and traditional serological tests for EIA can be unreliable or time-consuming.
- - A new colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip was developed, showing significantly higher sensitivity than existing tests, making it a promising tool for rapid detection and monitoring of EIA in horses.
The newly emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron sublineages, including the BA.2-derived BA.2.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSince the initial emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron BA.1, several Omicron sublineages have emerged, leading to BA.5 as the current dominant sublineage.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe continuous emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with increased transmission and immune evasion has caused breakthrough infections in the vaccinated population. It is important to determine the threshold of neutralizing antibody titers (NT) that permit breakthrough infections in humans. Here, we tested the neutralization titers of vaccinated patients who contracted Delta variant.
