ABSTRACT World Health Organization recommends anti‐HCV antibody testing for primary screening to be followed by HCV‐RNA. However, current serological assays are prone false‐positive results. We ascertained the ability of newly developed Abbott Alinity‐i Next assay (Research‐Use‐Only) resolve false‐positives and profiled its performance edges. Samples ( n = 2186) received from January June 2024 were subjected using Architect (Abbott), LIAISON XL MUREX HCV assays. categorized based on signal...

Intrauterine growth restriction is a condition where the estimated fetal weight less than 10th percentile on ultrasound and fetus has not attained its biologically determined potential because of pathologic process. This review deals with definitions restriction, etiology associated it, types discusses how to differentiate between them. The various screening mechanisms available, approach patient who at risk for whether they will benefit from any prophylactic measures available are also discussed.
Monitoring of fetal movements (FM) is considered an important part well-being assessment due to its association with several health conditions, e.g. distress, growth restriction, hypoxia, etc. However, the current standard methods FM quantification, ultrasonography, MRI, and cardiotocography, are limited their use in clinical environments. In this paper, we evaluate performance acoustic sensor-based, cheap, wearable monitor that can be used by pregnant women at home. For data analysis,...
