AI Article Synopsis
- Evaluated a daily antigen testing program for healthcare personnel across five forensic psychiatric hospitals in California from December 2020 to April 2021.
- Out of 471,023 tests, only 449 positives were found, indicating a very low false-positive rate of 0.0036%.
- Results showed high positive predictive value and acceptability, suggesting that daily antigen testing is feasible and could effectively help reduce COVID-19 transmission.
Article Abstract
To evaluate a daily antigen testing program for health care personnel. We examined antigen testing results between December 13, 2020, and April 30, 2021, from 5 forensic psychiatric inpatient hospitals throughout California. Among 471 023 antigen tests administered, 449 positives (0.0036% false positives) were detected. Antigen tests had low false-positive rates, high positive predictive value, and high levels of acceptability, important characteristics when considering their application in the community. Daily antigen testing was feasible and should be considered to reduce COVID-19 transmission. (. 2022;112(3):467-471. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306588).

Somatic variants play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of cancer. However, in the absence of matched normal controls, distinguishing between germline and somatic variants becomes challenging in tumor samples. The existing tumor-only genomic analysis methods either suffer from limited performance or insufficient interpretability due to an excess of features.

Background: Cathepsin-L (FhCL) is a group of enzymes that most flukes express and secreted significantly in parasite-host interactions. Researches are focusing on antigens released by as one of the keys to understanding immunologic pathways in parasite infection and targets for anthelmintics. Efforts to suppress FhCL function through vaccination or therapy using anthelmintic drugs are key factors in controlling field-level trematode infections.
