Unveiling the Quest: Crafting an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Technique to Uncover COVID-19 Antibodies.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has had a profound impact on global health. Rapid and accurate diagnostic tools are crucial for effective disease control and management. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has emerged as a reliable and widely used method for detecting COVID-19 antibodies in patients, which develop in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Appropriate use of PCSK9 Inhibitors in India.

The burden of atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease is alarmingly high and increasing in our country. Dyslipidemia is one of the major modifiable risk factors, and INTERHEART study showed that dyslipidemia had the highest population attributable risk for myocardial infarction. In the management of dyslipidemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the primary therapeutic target.

Helicobacter pylori IgG antibodies in aqueous humor and serum of subjects with primary open angle and pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma in a South Indian population.

Purpose: A prospective, nonrandomized, comparative study was carried out to investigate levels of anti-Helicobacter pylori-specific IgG antibodies in the aqueous humor and serum of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), exfoliation syndrome [pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma (PXFG)], and with normotensive cataract patients, who served as controls.

Methods: Aqueous humor was aspirated at the beginning of glaucoma surgery from 50 eyes of 50 patients with POAG, with PXFG and at the beginning of phacoemulsification cataract surgery from controls. Serum samples were obtained.

Pupillary-iris-lens membrane with goniodysgenesis: a case report.

We describe a rare case of pupillary-iris-lens membrane with goniodysgenesis, a unilateral neurocristopathy. The membrane represents ectopic iris on the lens with abnormal iris stroma and anterior chamber angle from aberrant induction, migration or regression of neural crest cells. The membrane can be progressive.
