Spin-Enhanced Lateral Flow Immunoassay for High-Sensitivity Detection of Nonstructural Protein NS1 Serotypes of the Dengue Virus.

Dengue fever is a global mosquito-borne viral infectious disease that has, in recent years, rapidly spread to almost all regions of the world. Lack of vaccination and directed treatment makes detection at the infection's early stages extremely important for disease prevention and clinical care. In this paper, we developed a rapid and highly sensitive dengue detection tool using a novel platform of diagnosis, called spin-enhanced lateral flow immunoassay (SELFIA) with a fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) as a reporter.

Vietnamese Version of Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia at an Outpatient Memory Clinic: A Reliability and Validity Study.

Background: In Vietnam, there has been, currently, no standardized tool for depression assessment for people with dementia (PWD). Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) is a widely studied and used scale for PWD worldwide.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to standardize the Vietnamese version of the CSDD (V-CSDD) in depression assessment in PWD through reliability and validity examination.

Phenolic compounds degradation: Insight into the role and evidence of oxygen vacancy defects engineering on nanomaterials.

Oxygen vacancy as a typical point defect has incited substantial interest in photocatalysis due to its profound impact on optical absorption response and facile isolation of photocarriers. The presence of oxygen vacancy can introduce the midgap defect states, which promote extended absorption in the visible region. The redistribution of electron density at the surface can stimulate the adsorption and activation kinetics of adsorbates, manifesting optimal photocatalytic performance.
