The VITROS 5,1 FS analytical system was evaluated. The measurement of the serum proteins and HDL cholesterol with the newly developed MicroTip technology was compared with other nephelometric and turbidimetric methods. The within-run imprecision for apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, complement 3, complement 4, transferrin, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin G and HDL cholesterol showed coefficients of variation between 0.4% and 4.7%. The day-to-day imprecision showed coefficients of variation between 0.5% and 4.0%. The correlation with the comparative methods (nephelometric or turbidimetric) was good, with Pearson correlation coefficients of between 0.959 and 0.995. The comparison of apolipoprotein Al showed a slope of about 0.76. An explanation for the difference could not be found. The VITROS 5,1 FS analytical system is a reliable routine instrument which fits into a large pediatric laboratory of a university.

College students have cited inconvenience, ease of forgetting, and lack of time as barriers to influenza (flu) vaccine receipt. We hypothesized that "pop-up" clinics and live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) would facilitate delivery and align with preferences of college students. During the 2023-2024 flu season, undergraduate participants were recruited to receive LAIV at 5 "pop-up" clinics across a large midwestern campus.

Background: Historically, soil-transmitted helminth (STH) control and prevention strategies have relied on mass drug administration efforts targeting preschool and school-aged children. While these efforts have succeeded in reducing morbidity associated with STH infection, recent modeling efforts have suggested that expanding intervention to treatment of the entire community could achieve transmission interruption in some settings. Testing the feasibility of such an approach requires large-scale clinical trials, such as the DeWorm3 cluster randomized trial.

Objective: To explore the interventions for change in oral health behaviour that are effective in improving oral health behaviours in 8 to 18-year-old children during oral health promotion.
Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute framework of evidence synthesis for conducting a scoping review was implemented for the methodology. Included studies related to the objective, measured clinical or non-clinical outcomes, were in English, 2011-2023, and were experimental, observational or reviews.

Leukemia symptoms occurring in the first 4 weeks of infancy are known as congenital leukemia. We present a case of congenital leukemia in a full-term neonate manifesting at birth with a grossly distended abdomen due to a large abdominal mass. Ultrasonography of the abdomen showed a large abdominal mass originating from the liver.
