AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: The use of Sample-to-answer (STA) platforms for the detection of influenza A/B and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have greatly improved patient care. These diagnostic assays based on nucleic acid amplification are rapid, accurate and relatively easy to perform.
Objectives: We compared four such platforms for detecting FluA, FluB, and RSV from adult respiratory specimens: Hologic Panther Fusion® Flu A/B/RSV (Fusion), Cobas® Influenza A/B & RSV (Liat), Luminex Aries® Flu A/B & RSV (Aries), and Diasorin SimplexaTM Flu A/B & RSV (Simplexa).
Study Design: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs (n = 224) from adults were tested on these platforms and results were compared to Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommended real-time RT-PCR assay for influenza A/B and RSV. Subtyping for FluA and FluB was performed for discrepant analysis where applicable.
Results: Of the 82 FluA, 26 FluB, 15 RSV-positive specimens tested, the positive and negative percentage agreements (PPA and NPA respectively) for FluA detection were 100/100 (Fusion), 95.1/100 (Liat), 92.5/100 (Aries), and 84.1/99.3 (Simplexa); PPA and NPA for FluB detection were 92.3/99.5 (Fusion), 96/99.5 (Liat), 100/99.5 (Aries), and 80.8/100 (Simplexa); and for RSV detection were 100/100 (Fusion), 100/100 (Liat), 88.6/99.5 (Aries), and 73.3/100 (Simplexa). 82 confirmed FluA included 23 pH1N1 and 57 H3N2 strains with 2 strains remaining untyped. Of the 26 confirmed FluB, 25 were of the Yamagata lineage and 1 of unknown lineage.
Conclusion: Only 2 STA platforms demonstrated >95% PPA for the detection of all three targets while all the 4 platforms demonstrated >95% NPA for FluA, FluB and RSV.

Usefulness of Point-of-Care Testing for Respiratory Viruses in a Pediatric Emergency Department Setting.

: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a leading cause of pediatric emergency department (PED) visits, especially in children under five. These infections are primarily viral, complicating diagnosis and management. This study assesses the impact of point-of-care (POC) rapid diagnostic tests for respiratory viruses on clinical and economic outcomes in a PED setting.

RNA-encoded viral nucleic acid analyte reporter (REVEALR) is a rapid and highly sensitive point-of-care diagnostic developed for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection, genotyping, and quantification. Here, we extend the breadth of this nucleic acid technology to include a viral respiratory panel that can detect low attomolar levels of influenza A (IAV), influenza B (IBV), SARS-CoV-2 (CoV2), and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Of 39 clinical samples collected at the UCI Medical Center in Orange, California, the extended REVEALR panel showed a positive predictive agreement and negative predictive agreement of 100% for IAV, CoV2, and RSV in sequence-verified clinical samples, with 0 false positive results.

Background: This study aimed to demonstrate the utility of the nasal Type I interferon (IFN-I) response as a marker for respiratory viral infections (RVIs) and its potential to enhance diagnosis when combined with first-line PCR tests for Influenza A/B, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2.
Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) from patients at Hospices Civils de Lyon (November 2022-April 2024) suspected of viral infections (n = 788) and from healthy controls (n = 53) were analysed. The IFN-I score was measured using the FILMARRAY® IFN-I pouch prototype, which detects four interferon-stimulated genes.

Newly approved subunit and mRNA vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) demonstrate effectiveness in preventing severe disease, with protection exceeding 80% primarily through the generation of antibodies. An alternative vaccine platform called self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) holds promise in eliciting humoral and cellular immune responses. We evaluate the immunogenicity of a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-formulated saRNA vaccine called SMARRT.

Background And Objectives: Sleep dysfunction is common in patients with neurodegenerative disorders; however, its neural underpinnings remain poorly characterized in genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Hypothalamic nuclei important for sleep regulation may be related to this dysfunction. Thus, we examined changes in hypothalamic structure across the lifespan in patients with genetic FTD and whether these changes related to sleep dysfunction.
