The significance of different serological methods and assay systems for the verification of false positive cases of HIV infection has been analyzed on the basis of materials obtained in arbitration studies. As demonstrated by this analysis, the use of such highly specific and sensitive systems as Huma-Lab, Enzygnost, Serodia and Erythrorecombinant has made it possible to obtain a reliable result as early as at the first stage of expert diagnosis in the enzyme immunoassay and the agglutination test. The methods of radioimmunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence have permitted a more precise differentiation of doubtful results than that achieved by immune blotting.

Hypouricemic effect of sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors: a network meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomized clinical trials.
Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
College of Medicine & Health Sciences, Arabian Gulf University, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain.
Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are known for their cardiovascular benefits, but their impact on serum uric acid levels is not well understood. This study evaluates the hypouricemic effects of SGLT2is and their potential cardiovascular implications.
Methods: A network meta-analysis was performed, including 56 studies (16,788 participants) contributing data to the meta-analysis.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), including electroacupuncture, exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes, in reducing androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang up to June 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing NPIs with other NPIs or placebo treatments in adult women with PCOS were included.
Are Seed Oils the Culprit in Cardiometabolic and Chronic Diseases? A Narrative Review.
Nutr Rev
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Pelita Harapan University, Tangerang, Banten 15811, Indonesia.
The demonization of seed oils "campaign" has become stronger over the decades. Despite the dietary guidelines provided by nutritional experts recommending the limiting of saturated fat intake and its replacement with unsaturated fat-rich food sources, some health experts ignore the dietary guidelines and the available human research evidence, suggesting the opposite. As contrarians, these individuals could easily shift public opinion so that dietary behavior moves away from intake of unsaturated fat-rich food sources (including seed oils) toward saturated fats, which is very concerning.

Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN) is an alliance of vaccine developers, manufacturers, and marketing authorization holders (MAHs) from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that plays a vital role in ensuring equitable, inclusive, accountable, and timely access to affordable, high-quality vaccines in these countries. Besides research and development, this network promotes manufacturing and global supply chains for effective strengthening of regulatory and pharmacovigilance activities. Traditionally, vaccine safety surveillance systems in LMICs rely on spontaneous reporting.

Introduction: The standardization of reporting in clinical laboratories, particularly regarding Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP) and Urine Protein Electrophoresis (UPEP), is crucial for effective communication of findings to clinicians and optimal patient management. However, in countries like Pakistan with limited healthcare resources and a prevalent self-payment model, challenges arise in achieving standardized reporting practices. This manuscript addresses the need for standardized guidelines for protein electrophoresis reporting in Pakistan, aiming to enhance laboratory practices and patient care.
