High-throughput detection of parasites and ova in stool using the fully automatic digital feces analyzer, orienter model fa280.

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections can harm health by causing malnutrition, anemia, impaired growth and cognitive development, and alterations in microbiota composition and immune responses. Therefore, it is crucial to examine stool samples to diagnose parasitic infections. However, the traditional microscopic detection method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and dependent on the expertise and training of microscopists.

Rapid Single-Step Immunochromatographic Assay for Specific Antigen Detection.

is the major etiological nematode parasite causing eosinophilic meningitis and/or eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. The rapid global spread of and the emerging occurrence of the infection have exposed the shortcomings of traditional/conventional diagnostics. This has spurred efforts to develop faster, simpler and more scalable platforms that can be decentralized for point-of-need laboratory testing.

The alteration of static and dynamic postural stability among women with breast cancer during taxane-based chemotherapy: a descriptive study.

Introduction: Women with breast cancer who underwent taxane-based chemotherapy demonstrate diminished postural stability. However, the data concerning dynamic postural stability among women with breast cancer during taxane-based chemotherapy remains insufficient.

Purpose: To investigate postural stability among women with breast cancer during taxane-based chemotherapy.

Genetic diversity and identity of Ascaris worms from human and pig hosts in Thailand.

Ascaris roundworms are of public health and socio-economic importance worldwide. They are conventionally attributed to two taxa - A. lumbricoides infecting principally human and A.

Incidence density and factors associated with peripheral neuropathy among women with breast cancer during taxane-based chemotherapy.

This work aimed to determine the incidence density of taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) and its risk factors among women with breast cancer. One hundred and forty-one women with breast cancer participated in this cohort study. TIPN symptoms were evaluated with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer CIPN specific self-report questionnaire (EORTC QOL-CIPN20) at five-time points throughout chemotherapy treatment.
