The reagent kit designed to detect and simultaneously differentiate the DNA of three species of Burkholderia pseudomallei - causative agents of melioidosis (B. pseudomallei), glanders (B. mallei) and B. thailandensis by the set of genes of β-lactamases with B and D molecular classes using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction with electrophoretic detection was developed for clinical laboratory diagnosis. The functional properties of the reagent kit were evaluated, tests were carried out, the stages of examination and registration in the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights' Protection and Human Well-being were completed. During clinical testing the effectiveness of the reagent kits in the study of various samples of clinical material and isolated cultures of microorganisms was confirmed. It has been established that the indicator of diagnostic sensitivity of the reagent kit for the detection and differentiation of the glanders, melioidosis and B. thailandensis causative agents was less than 99 %, diagnostic specificity - not less than 99 % with a confidence probability of 90 % in the analysis of each of the indicators.

Background: FFPE tissue samples are commonly used in biomedical research and are a valuable source for next-generation sequencing in oncology, however, extracting RNA from these samples can be difficult the quantity and quality achieved can impact the downstream analysis. This study compared the effectiveness of seven different commercially available RNA extraction kits specifically designed for use with FFPE samples in terms of the quantity and quality of RNA recovered.
Methods: This study used 9 samples of FFPE tissue from three different types of tissue (Tonsil, Appendix and lymph node of B-cell lymphoma) to evaluate RNA extraction methods.

Introduction: The introduction of the HIV self-test kit in the early 2000s was a major breakthrough in combating HIV. This study determines the social demographic and sexual behaviour driving the use of HIV self-test kits.
Method: The study used secondary data obtained from Tanzania DHS-MIS 2022.

The pathogenic oomycete Pythium insidiosum causes a fatal infectious illness known as pythiosis, impacting humans and certain animals in numerous countries in the tropics and subtropics. Delayed diagnosis is a primary factor contributing to the heightened morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Several new serodiagnostic methods have been developed to improve the identification of pythiosis.

Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is an emerging non-invasive biomarker for allograft injury detection. This study aimed to evaluate a new, decentralized dd-cfDNA testing kit against a centralized dd-cfDNA testing service broadly utilized in the United States. Kidney transplant recipients with decentralized and centralized dd-cfDNA measurements and concomitant kidney allograft biopsies were included in the study.

Objective: Extracting DNA is essential in wildlife genetic studies, and numerous methods are available. However, the process is costly and time-consuming for non-model organisms, including most wildlife species. Therefore, we optimized a cost-efficient protocol to extract DNA from the muscle tissue of White-tailed Deer using the DNAdvance kit (Beckman Coulter), a magnetic-bead-based approach.
