Comparison of commercially available New York City medium and Martin-Lewis medium for recovery of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens.

Application of a six sigma model to evaluate the analytical performance of urinary biochemical analytes and design a risk-based statistical quality control strategy for these assays: A multicenter study

Background: The six sigma model has been widely used in clinical laboratory quality management. In this study, we first applied the six sigma model to (a) evaluate the analytical performance of urinary biochemical analytes across five laboratories, (b) design risk-based statistical quality control (SQC) strategies, and (c) formulate improvement measures for each of the analytes …

Optimization of the method for analyzing endocytosis of fluorescently tagged molecules: Impact of incubation in the cell culture medium and cell surface wash with glycine-hydrochloric acid buffer

To obtain the therapeutic effect of biological medicines, such as proteins and nucleic acids, these medicines must achieve their intracellular target, such as the cytoplasm, and pass through biological membrane barriers. Endocytosis is an attractive route for the intracellular delivery of such drugs, and various endocytosis inhibitors have been used as tools to study the …

Systematic review of neighborhood socioeconomic indices studied across the cancer control continuum

Background: There is extensive interest in understanding how neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) may affect cancer incidence or survival. However, variability regarding items included and approaches used to form a composite nSES index presents challenges in summarizing overall associations with cancer. Given recent calls for standardized measures of neighborhood sociodemographic effects in cancer disparity research, the …

Bioengineering of LAB vector expressing Haemolysin co-regulated protein (Hcp): a strategic approach to control gut colonization of Campylobacter jejuni in a murine model

Background: Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is accountable for more than 400 million cases of gastroenteritis each year and is listed as a high-priority gut pathogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although the acute infection of C. jejuni (campylobacteriosis) is commonly treated with macrolides and fluoroquinolones, the emergence of antibiotic resistance among C. jejuni warrants …

First outbreak of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Denmark involving six Danish-born cases

Background: Denmark is a tuberculosis (TB) and multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB low-incidence country at 5 and 0.05 cases per 100.000 population, respectively. Until 2018, transmission of MDR-TB was nonexistent except for few pairwise related family-cases. In this study we describe the first MDR-TB outbreak in Denmark. Methods: Based on genotyping of all Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) culture-positive …

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen.

Overview To provide an additional layer of protection against COVID-19covid 19 and variants including Omicron, Ontario is launching a holiday testing blitz to offer voluntary rapid antigen screening to individuals free of charge at pop-up sites across the province. This initiative is part of the government’s enhanced COVID-19covid 19 testing strategy to mitigate the increased risk of transmission over the holiday …
