Introduction: Torque Teno Virus (TTV), an "orphan" virus with unclear pathology, has been associated with various diseases and immune dysfunctions. This study investigates the link between TTV viremia and clinical markers in patients with severe to very severe COPD undergoing respiratory rehabilitation.

Methods: We analyzed 102 elderly COPD patients, stratified by TTV viremia levels (< or ≥ 4 log10 copies/mL).

Introduction: Schistosomiasis (Bilharzia), a neglected tropical disease caused by parasites, afflicts over 240 million people globally, disproportionately impacting Sub-Saharan Africa. Current diagnostic tests, despite their utility, suffer from limitations like low sensitivity. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) remain the most common and sensitive nucleic acid amplification tests.

Concentration-Bias-Free Discrimination of Single Nucleotide Variants Using Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification and Mismatch-Guided DNA Assembly.

Isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques are promising alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplifying and detecting nucleic acids under resource-limited conditions. While many isothermal amplification strategies, such as recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), offer comparable sensitivity to PCR, they often lack the specificity and robustness for discriminating single nucleotide variants (SNVs), mainly due to the uncontrolled production of massive amplicons. Herein, we introduce a mismatch-guided DNA assembly (MGDA) approach capable of discriminating SNVs in the presence of high concentrations of wild-type (WT) interferences.

Introduction: Pediatric sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa. Nearly half of pediatric sepsis deaths occur in previously healthy children. The role of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) in susceptibility to sepsis is yet to be identified and their prevalence amongst previously healthy children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is unclear.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the predominant form of malignancy among women. Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes, such as X-ray repair cross complementing 3 (XRCC3), can influence an individual's capability to repair damaged DNA. This can result in genetic instability and potentially contribute to the development of cancer.
