Background A paper-based, multiplexed, microfluidic assay has been developed to visually measure alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in a fingerstick sample, generating rapid, semi-quantitative results. Prior studies indicated need for improved accuracy; the device was subsequently optimized using an FDA-approved automated platform (Abaxis Piccolo Xpress) as comparator. Here, we evaluated performance of paper test measurement ALT blood and serum, compared Abaxis Roche/Hitachi platforms. To...
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a typically indolent pathogen that often considered blood culture contaminant. It rare and unexpected cause of osteomyelitis, especially in the absence recent surgical intervention or orthopedic implants. We highlight case which 90-year-old Caucasian male with no spine surgery was found to have osteomyelitis lumbar repeat positive cultures for methicillin resistant (MRSE). Further investigation revealed history mitral valve replacement new diagnosis endocarditis...
Point-of-care assays have greatly increased access to diagnostic information and improved healthcare outcomes globally, especially in the case of tropical diseases rural settings. Increased recognition impact these tools funding, along with advances technology led a surge development new assays. However, many fail fulfill their intended purpose due lack clinical impact, operational feasibility, input from envisioned operators. To be successful, they must fit into existing decision-making...
