The global health system is currently facing the new SARS-COV 2 pandemy. This exceptional situation requires, from our African health systems, to reorganize and readapt the usual protocols when they were carried out before the crisis and/or their urgent implementation otherwise. As imaging is one of the pillars of the diagnosis of infection with this emerging virus, it was essential to rethink the imaging department organization so as to dedicate a unit to COVID-19 activity while maintaining the usual emergency activity within the Ibn Sina university hospital in Rabat. The protection of exposed personnel and the bio-cleaning of radiology equipment and rooms also became an evidence. The active involvement of the administration, the Clinical Pharmacy Department and the Nosocomial Infections Control Committee is a key to the success of this reorganization.

Unlabelled: Probiotics refer to living microorganisms that exert a variety of beneficial effects on human health. On the contrary, they also can cause infection, produce toxins within the body, and transfer antibiotic-resistant genes to the other microorganisms in the digestive tract necessitating a comprehensive safety assessment. This study aimed to conduct functional genomic analysis and some relevant biochemical tests to uncover the probiotic potentials of subsp.

Advances in nanoarchitectonics enable a wide variety of nanostructured electrodes with tunable shapes and surface for constructing sensitive biosensors. Herein we demonstrate the fabrication of a mesoporous gold (Au) biosensor for the specific and sensitive detection of miRNA in a relatively simple and portable manner. The electrocatalytic activity of the mesoporous Au electrode (MPGE) towards the redox reaction of Fe(CN)] expansively examined.

The detection of circulating biomarkers in liquid biopsies has the potential to provide a non-invasive route for earlier cancer diagnosis and treatment management. Melanoma chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (MCSP) is a membrane protein characteristic for melanoma cell migration and tissue invasion with its soluble form (sMCSP) serving as a potential promising diagnostic surrogate. However, at the initial disease stage, the detection of sMCSP is challenging because of its low abundance and the required high specificity to analyze sMCSP in complex bodily fluids.

Assessing T-cell mediated immune status can help to understand the body's response to disease and also provide essential diagnostic information. However, detection and characterization of immune response are challenging due to the rarity of signature biomolecules in biological fluid and require highly sensitive and specific assay technique for the analysis. Until now, several techniques spanning from flow cytometry to microsensors have been developed or under investigation for T-cell mediated immune response monitoring.

Electronic address:
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most prominent post-translational mechanisms for protein regulation, which is frequently impaired in cancer. Through the covalent addition of phosphate groups to certain amino-acids, the interactions of former residues with nearby amino-acids are drastically altered, resulting in major changes of protein conformation that impacts its biological function. Herein, we report that these conformational changes can also disturb the protein's ability to interact with and adsorb onto bare gold surfaces.
