Newest firstBackgroundSnakebite envenoming is a significant global health crisis that has been long neglected as a global health priority. It is a huge problem for rural communities of low and middle-income countries, India accounts for the largest proportion of snakebite deaths globally. Timely identification of venomous snakebite and its syndromic pattern is essential for effective administration of antivenom and supportive…
Open article record in new tab ↗There is a lack of automated pipelines for diagnostic classification of point-of-care tests for neglected tropical diseases. Here we present an end-to-end automated pipeline for the analysis of point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen tests for schistosomiasis. We incorporated deep learning for cassette segmentation with signal processing. Automated classifications were compared to quantitative readings from cal…
BackgroundCommunity antiretroviral therapy (ART) delivery programmes allow people living with HIV (PLWH) to collect treatment nearer to home rather than having to attend clinics. However, delays in laboratory based viral load (VL) testing can prevent timely assessment of eligibility for community ART prescription renewals. We aimed to determine if point-of-care VL testing in the clinic could prevent delayed renewa…
Creating increasingly sensitive and cost-effective nucleic acid detection methods is critical for enhancing point-of-care (POC) applications. This involves capturing all desired biomarkers in a sample with high specificity and transducing the capture events to a detector. However, the signal from biomarkers present at extremely low amounts often falls below the detection limit of typical fluorescence-based methods…
Background Pharmacists possess a skillset suited to provide evidence-based guidance to current and potential users of cannabis. Clinical pharmacogenomics research has made significant progress in defining which genetic variations are important for influencing inter-patient variability in response to cannabis. This study aims to evaluate the practicality and impact of pharmacogenetic testing in the community pharma…
