Evaluation of the Panbio™ COVID-19 IgG rapid test device performance.

Background: The Panbio™ COVID-19 IgG Rapid Test Device ("Panbio™") detects IgG antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from viral infection or vaccination.

Objectives: To determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Panbio™ professional use test, using fingerstick whole blood and venous plasma.

Study Design: Fingerstick whole blood and venous plasma from each participant were tested with Panbio™ and compared against the SARS-CoV-2 IgG II assay on the Abbott Architect™ platform (Europe) or the equivalent AdviseDx SARS-CoV-2 IgG II Abbott Alinity i™ platform (US).

The effect of melatonin on ultrasound markers of follicular development: A double-blind placebo-controlled randomised trial.

Background: Melatonin is a potent oxygen scavenger and is capable of altering blood flow in various vascular beds.

Aims: We aimed to determine the effect of melatonin on ovarian vascular indices during ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Materials And Methods: This is a pilot double-blind placebo-controlled randomised trial.

Three-dimensional imaging of the uterus: The value of the coronal plane.

Advent in three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology has seen 3D ultrasound establish itself as a useful adjunct complementary to traditional two-dimensional imaging of the female pelvis. This advantage largely arises from its ability to reconstruct the coronal plane of the uterus, which allows further delineation of many gynecological disorders. 3D imaging of the uterus is now the preferred imaging modality for assessing congenital uterine anomalies and intrauterine device localization.
