A genetic diagnosis can be identified in about 30% of pediatric and 10-30% of adults, informing treatment, prognosis, and family-based risk assessment. However, access to renal genetics services remains limited across many healthcare systems. ObjectivesTo characterize the clinical and genetic landscape of CKD in patients referred for…
Open article record in new tab ↗Bacteremia is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where diagnostic delays and empirical antimicrobial misuse exacerbate resistance. This study assessed the accuracy of OneChoice(R), an artificial intelligence (AI)-based Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), in guiding antimicrobial therapy for bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Lima, Peru. A retr…
To ensure there is adequate investment into diagnostics, an understanding of the magnitude of impact and return on investment is necessary. We therefore sought to understand the health and economic impacts of the molecular diagnostic programme in South Africa, to deepen the understanding on the broad value of diagnostics and guide future healthcare investments. We calculated the 10-year (where data were available)…
Open article record in new tab ↗The increased cultivation of Cannabis sativa L. in North America, represented by high Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol-containing (high-THC) cannabis genotypes and low-THC-containing hemp genotypes, has been impacted by an increasing number of plant pathogens. These include fungi which destroy roots, stems, and leaves, in some cases causing a build-up of populations and mycotoxins in the inflorescences that can negatively…
Simultaneously studying different types of biomarkers (DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites) has the potential to significantly improve understanding and diagnosis for many complex diseases. However, extracting biomarkers of different types involves using several technically complex or expensive methodologies, often requiring specialized laboratories and personnel. Streamlining detection through the use of a single mul…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundNon-pharmaceutical interventions to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 also decreased the spread of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza. Viral diagnostic testing in patients with respiratory tract infections (RTI) is a necessary tool for patient management; therefore, sensitive and specific tests are required. This scoping literature review evaluated the analytical validity of com…
