To assess the usefulness of a new rapid chromatographic immunoassay test for the detection of adenovirus, a prospective 3-year study was conducted in 587 febrile outpatient children suspected of adenovirus infection. A total of 332 children were diagnosed with this infection, using a viral culture. The sensitivity and specificity of the rapid test were 89.2% and 98.0%, respectively.

: Testosterone is an androgenic hormone that plays important roles in both males and females. The circulating levels of total testosterone vary from 1 to 1480 ng/dL. High-throughput immunoassays often lack accuracy in lower concentration ranges (below 100 ng/dL), particularly when used for females or children.

This chapter details protocols for determining plasma thyroid hormone (TH) levels and tissue TH content by competitive radioimmunoassays (RIAs). These protocols include: an initial test of the chromatographic performance, isotopic labeling to produce high activity I-T3 and I-T4, free iodide estimation of the labeled products, purification of tracers from iodide by paper electrophoresis, extraction of THs from plasma and tissue samples, and the RIA procedures. The RIA involves the competition between radioactive labeled and unlabeled hormones for specific antibody binding, and due to its high sensitivity is capable of detecting a minimum of 2.

In recent years, the residues of nitrofurans (NFs) and their metabolites in animal-derived food and environmental samples have gained widespread attention. The parent drugs and their metabolites have displayed significant toxicity to human health including carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects, leading to banned in animal husbandry in many countries. Hence, monitoring the residues of NFs is necessary to guarantee public health and ecological security.

Article Synopsis
- - Antigen testing is vital for managing the COVID-19 pandemic, and this study compared a new IgM-based rapid antigen test to the standard RT-PCR method for detecting SARS-CoV-2.
- - The study analyzed 1,030 nasopharyngeal swab samples and found that the antigen test showed very high sensitivity (93.18%-100%) and specificity (99.67%-100%) across different testing centers, with performance improving under certain conditions.
- - The ALLtest Ag-RDT proved to be a reliable tool for diagnosing COVID-19, suggesting it could be an effective option for early detection in suspected cases.
