In order to counter the common perception that molecular diagnostics are too complicated work in low resource settings, we have performed a difficult sample preparation and DNA amplification protocol using instrumentation designed be operated without wall or battery power. this combined nearly electricity-free nucleic acid extraction process with an isothermal assay detect presence of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) stool infected patients. We used helicase-dependent (HDA) amplify...
A prototype of a self-contained, automated, disposable device for chemically amplified protein-based detection influenza virus from nasal swab specimens was developed and evaluated in clinical setting. The required only simple specimen manipulation without any dedicated instrumentation or specialized training by the operator interpretation. based on sandwich immunoassay nucleoprotein; it used an enzyme-labeled antibody chromogenic substrate to provide visible signal, two-dimensional paper...
Abstract Background Influenza epidemics and pandemics cause significant morbidity mortality. An effective response to a potential pandemic requires the infrastructure rapidly detect contain new emerging flu strains at population level. The objective of this study was use data gathered simultaneously from community hospital sites develop model how enters spreads in population. Methods In 2018–2019 season, we enrolled individuals with respiratory illness throughout Seattle area, including...
Seasonal influenza leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Rapid self-tests could improve access testing in community settings. We aimed evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a mobile app-guided rapid self-test for adults with like illness (ILI), identify optimal methods conducting studies home-based assays other respiratory viruses.This cross-sectional study recruited who self-reported ILI online. Participants downloaded app, which guided them through two low nasal swab self-samples....
Abstract Background Seasonal influenza (flu) occurs annually, causing disease with substantial morbidity and mortality. Currently, flu is suspected from clinical features, but requires a laboratory test to confirm infection. No tests in the United States are approved for use outside of settings. We aimed determine accuracy self-testing using an at-home, app-guided, lateral flow assay compared molecular reference standard conducted at among adults self-reporting influenza-like illness (ILI)....
Abstract a) The current gold-standard of care in the management patients with thyroid nodules is ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) followed by microscopic examination cell morphology a trained cytopathologist. Due to lack distinguishing morphology, 10-25% FNAs are termed “indeterminate” and required surgery. However, only 35% them found have cancer. There need for more accurate minimally invasive cancer diagnostic technology. Our objective develop an inexpensive,...
