Population-scale and rapid testing for SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a priority for several parts of the world. We revisit the in vitro technology platforms for COVID-19 testing and diagnostics—molecular tests and rapid antigen tests, serology or antibody tests, and tests for the management of COVID-19 patients. Within each category of tests, we review the commercialized testing platforms, their analyzing systems, specimen collection protocols, testing methodologies, supply chain logistics, and rel...

Dengue fever is caused by the mosquito-borne virus termed (DENV). However, DENV-2 has been identified as the most prevalent amongst the Indonesian pediatric urban population, in contrast with the other four serotypes. Therefore, it is important to reduce severe infection risk by adopting preventive measures, including through vaccine development. The aim of this study, therefore is to use various in silico tools in the design of epitope-based peptide vaccines (T-cell and B-cell types), based on...

A three years old male was presented, fatigued with history of fever for 4 days. He became acutely ill and vomited during lunch. Over the next 4 days he developed fever as high as 40oC that was controlled by Acetaminophen. He developed cough, rhinorrhea, and conjunctivitis. His parents reported that he was very sleepy. Over the past 2 days, he had begun to rub his eyes and complained a severe pain in it His parents noted that his eyes were puffy and sensitive to light. He had had no rashes. The ...

Background: The Cuban health-care system recommends the hospital admissions of patients with unspecified febrile syndrome (UFS) to rule out arboviral diseases and to prevent healthcare associated adverse outcomes. Aim: Evaluate the burden of unspecified febrile syndrome in a Cuban hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Hospital Joaquín Albarrán (La Habana, Cuba) from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019. It was collected the admissions and patients days (total and UFS pa...

The methonolic extract of the leaves of Pisonia alba (PA) were subjected to phytochemical analysis by standard qualitative analysis and the invitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by determination of total antioxidant capacity, 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, Antioxidant activity, Nitric oxide potential. The analyses revealed that the methanol extract of Co was able to efficiently scavenge the free radicals in a dose dependant manner. The results were compare...

Introduction: Hepatitis C is the first aetiologic agent for HCC in Morocco. Antiviral treatment reduces the risk of developing HCC in patients with chronic hepatitis C but few cases of HCC have been still reported. We aimed to define population with high risk of HCC occurrence, confirm the protective role of SVR and to identify predictive factors of developing HCC after SVR. We’ll try to present suggestions about screening strategies (indications and interval) after antiviral therapy according t...

ABSTRACT Background: Incidences of sudden deaths (SD) are increasing day by day, especially in younger people. During routine practice, forensic persons have to deal not only criminal, accidental and suicidal deaths, but a large amount of cases of sudden deaths also. Most of the sudden deaths of younger victims are unexpected, clinically unexplained or otherwise obscure. Aims & Objectives: The present study was undertaken to know the major contributory causes of death in young victims of sudde...
