The demand for sensitive, rapid, and affordable diagnostic techniques has surged, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, driving the development of CRISPR-based diagnostic tools that utilize Cas effector proteins (such as Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13) as viable alternatives to traditional nucleic acid-based detection methods. These CRISPR systems, often integrated with biosensing and amplification technologies, provide precise, rapid, and portable diagnostics, making on-site testing without the need for extensive infrastructure feasible, especially in underserved or rural areas. In contrast, traditional diagnostic methods, while still essential, are often limited by the need for costly equipment and skilled operators, restricting their accessibility.

Background: Some infections may be associated with poor brain health, but evidence from low and middle-income countries (LMICs) is limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate associations between nine infections and cognitive function, depression, and frailty in India.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from Wave 1 (2017-2019) of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) survey of adults (≥45years) from 35 of India's 36 states and union territories.

Background: The blended learning (BL) approach to training health care professionals is increasingly adopted in many countries because of high costs and disruption to service delivery in the light of severe human resource shortage in low resource settings. The Covid-19 pandemic increased the urgency to identify alternatives to traditional face-to-face (f2f) education approach. A four-day f2f antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC) continuous professional development course (CPD) was repackaged into a 3-part BL course; (1) self-directed learning (16 h) (2) facilitated virtual sessions (2.

Since their discovery in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), F-dependent enzymes have been identified as both important drug targets and potential industrial biocatalysts, including for bioremediation of otherwise recalcitrant substrates. Mtb-FGD1, utilizes glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) as an electron donor for the reduction of F. Current expression systems for Mtb-FGD1 use Mycobacterium smegmatis as host, because of the tendency for it to form inclusion bodies in E.
