The research of anti-Cytomegalovirus antibody by the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent-Assay) test has been compared with the complement fixation method. The results have shown that ELISA test was more sensitive than the complement fixation test and easy to carry out on a large scale.

Brucellosis is still the most common zoonosis worldwide despite advanced technology and animal husbandry. Since there is still no effective vaccine for humans, it is crucial to control the disease in ruminants through eradication and vaccination. Although some countries around the world have achieved this circumstance, every country aims to become free of Brucellosis through vaccination, animal movements, and various eradication measures.

Cement-augmented pedicle screw instrumentation is a widely accepted method for managing osteoporotic fractures, but it carries inherent risks, particularly related to cement leakage and embolism. This study aimed to analyze a clinical case of complications following cement fixation and provide a detailed review of relevant literature. A 70-year-old patient underwent transpedicular screw instrumentation from L2-L4 with polymethyl methacrylate augmentation, which resulted in cement leakage into the spinal canal and subsequent pulmonary embolism.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a widely used and effective tool for detection of anti-Brucella antibodies in serum, easy to perform with high sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we validated an in-house indirect ELISA using B. melitensis whole cell lysate as antigen (Bm-WCL iELISA) for the serodiagnosis of caprine brucellosis and evaluated the use of BSL-2 B.

Background And Objectives: Antibodies to proteolipid protein-1 (PLP1-IgG), a major central myelin protein also expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as the isoform DM20, have been previously identified mostly in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), with unclear clinical implications. However, most studies relied on nonconformational immunoassays and included few patients with non-MS CNS autoimmune demyelinating disorders (ADDs). We aimed to investigate conformational PLP1-IgG in the whole ADD spectrum.

Nystagmus has various clinical manifestations, including downbeat, upbeat, and torsional types, each associated with distinct neurologic features. Current rehabilitative interventions focusing on fixation training and optical correction often fail to achieve complete resolution. When nystagmus coexists with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), functional impairments worsen, particularly affecting balance.
