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...

Identification and characterization of micro-organisms that cause infections are crucial for successful management of patients. For several decades, routine clinical microbiological diagnostic laboratories have been equipped with a growing panel of culture-dependent and culture-independent methods to investigate the microbial etiology of infectious diseases. Considering the disadvantages of traditional methods, multiplex PCR techniques have been routinely endorsed in clinical microbiology labora...

Objective: Night Eating Syndrome (NES) was first described in 1955 and recently categorized in DSM-V. The prevalence
is 1.5-5.7% in general population and reaches up to 5.7% in young adolescents. The aim of this study is to
determine the prevalence of NES in university students and the related factors with NES.
Methods: 179 university students (17 male, 162 female) were enrolled to this cross-sectional study. Data were obtained
by a questionnaire applied to participants face to face. Questionnai...

Background
Typhoid fever is an infectious disease of global importance that is caused by Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). This disease causes an estimated 200,000 deaths per year and remains a serious global health threat. S. Typhi is strictly a human pathogen, and some recovered individuals become long-term carriers who continue to shed the bacteria in their faeces, thus becoming main reservoirs of infection.

The increased incidence of cancer in children and adolescents registered in Italy in the last few
decades is one of the highest amongst Western countries. The causes are difficult to identify, but
recent daily news and some epidemiological surveys, such as the ‘Sentieri’ study, suggest that environmental
pollution has an important role. In the past 20 years, epigenetic studies have described
how the changes induced by the cell microenvironment on the non-coding parts of the genome
can heavi...

Introduction: It is important to understand a population the sexual behaviors if we want to measure the spread risks of sexually transmitted infections in order to identify the appropriate target and evaluate the prevention program. There is scarcity of research in this domain, especially in Africa, where sexuality is still seen as a taboo. The best knowledge of risks and youth sexual behavior is considered as a priority in public health, even though it can still to be difficult in these conditi...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES:
In recent years the efficacy of BCG vaccine against tuberculosis has been questioned and there is no alternative vaccine available. Several strategies are being applied to get a satisfactory vaccine. Two approaches are generally considered: the subunit vaccines and the whole cell vaccines. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate an avirulent mycobacteria, Mycobacterium habana, as a whole cell vaccine to protect mice from infection of M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
