The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a global health emergency. Given its rapid spread and high number of infected individuals, a diagnostic tool for a rapid, simple, and cost-effective detection was essential. In this work, we developed a COVID-19 diagnostic test, that incorporates a human internal control, based on the Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP).

As CNVs mean the gain or loss of DNA sequences, their detection requires specific techniques and analysis. We have developed Easy One-Step Amplification and Labeling for CNV Detection (EOSAL-CNV) by fragment analysis in a DNA sequencer.

- Osteoporosis and obesity are interconnected public health issues due to their shared genetic factors and biological pathways that influence both bone and fat metabolism.
- This study analyzed genetic variants in obesity-related genes among 575 participants over a 12-14 year follow-up period, revealing a connection between specific gene polymorphisms and the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
- Findings indicate that certain genetic variants are linked to a higher susceptibility to bone fractures, supporting the idea that obesity-related genes could play a significant role in osteoporosis risk.
