The rise of antibiotic resistance poses a significant and ongoing challenge to public health, with pathogenic bacteria remaining a persistent threat. Traditional culture methods, while considered the gold standard for bacterial detection and viability assessment, are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this limitation, we developed a novel point-of-care (POC) detection method leveraging citrate- and alkyne-modified gold nanorods (AuNRs) synthesized with click chemistry properties.

Phenobarbital is a common antiseizure medication that has a relatively narrow therapeutic window. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a helpful tool to guide dose adjustments for phenobarbital and avoid its toxicity. We investigated the agreement among 3 methods of quantifying phenobarbital in canine plasma: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), point-of-care (POC) testing, and the FDA-approved immunoassay analyzer.

Human schistosomiasis is a chronic neglected tropical disease caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma, infecting 250 million people worldwide, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, thousands of cases have been reported in immigrants to non-endemic countries, including Italy. Serological screening is recommended but so far, no accurate point-of-care (POC) and lab-free test is available.
