The pandemic has severely affected some accommodation facilities for dependent elderly people, but all of them have had to reorganize. Their operation will never be the same again and transparency towards employees and the families of residents has become an obligation. Cooperation with dispensing pharmacists, who can act as information relays for families, must be stepped up.

Pi-seq-A customizable multichannel syringe pump for microfluidics.
HardwareX
June 2024
Institute for Medical Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (IMBB), Philipps University of Marburg, Hans-Meerwein-Strasse 6, 35032 Marburg, Germany.
The advent of single cell technologies resulted in growing demand for microfluidics in the biological sciences. Commercial platforms have remained expensive, inflexible, and non-customizable black boxes. We developed an open source, multichannel, zero-backflow microfluidics device based on syringe pumps controlled by a Raspberry Pi computer.

Background: The global elimination of leprosy transmission by 2030 is a World Health Organization (WHO) target. Nepal's leprosy elimination program depends on early case diagnosis and the performance of health workers and facilities. The knowledge and skills of paramedical staff (Leprosy Focal Person, LFP) and case documentation and management by health facilities are therefore key to the performance of health care services.

Integrin clusters facilitate mechanical force transmission (mechanotransduction) and regulate biochemical signaling during cell adhesion. However, most studies have focused on rigid substrates. On fluid substrates like supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), integrin ligands are mobile, and adhesive complexes are traditionally thought unable to anchor for cell spreading.

Objectives: Tongue swabs (TS) have shown potential for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) through downstream molecular testing. Analytical performance varies, depending on the processing protocol and the molecular test used. This study aimed to first investigate ease-of-use of TS collection in addition to acceptability by individuals being assessed for TB and second to determine the performance of self-collected TS on the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) assay (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for MTBC and Rifampicin (RIF) resistance detection.

Influenza virus pandemics and seasonal epidemics have claimed countless lives. Recurrent zoonotic spillovers of influenza viruses with pandemic potential underscore the need for effective countermeasures. In this study, we show that pre-exposure prophylaxis with broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) MEDI8852 is highly effective in protecting cynomolgus macaques from severe disease caused by aerosolized highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus infection.
