Filter by:To establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON® NES Flu A/B, RSV & COVID-19 assay for viral nucleic acid targets from professionally collected or patient self-collected dry nasal (NS) swabs and to establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON PLEX® RSP Flex assay from NS and nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in applicable transport media from human patients exhibiting clinical signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection.
Immunocompromised individuals face a heightened risk of life-threatening fungal infections, which arise from a multitude of environmental and commensal fungi. Surveillance data from ICUs worldwide identifies Candida spp. as the dominant foe, responsible for 80% of such infections, earning it the dubious distinction of being the third most prevalent pathogen. While C. albicans holds the dubious crown as the most common Candida offender, recent years have witnessed a concerning trend toward non-Albicans candida, raising concerns about potential antifungal resistance.
The goal of this observational study is to classify patients that undergo pancreatic resection for presumed pancreatic or periampullary malignancy into high and low risk groups for postoperative complications based on longitudinal saliva, rectal/faecal, tumor, blood and/or bile microbiome profiles. To identify the dynamics of the microbiome, as well as the possibly related short-term and long-term complications, multiple samples at different timepoints are needed from the patients.
The purpose of the pivotal study is to collect blood specimens and clinical data from pediatric (>90 days old) and adult (≥18 years old) patients presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute bacterial or viral infection. These samples will be used to establish the diagnostic performance of MeMed BV™ for differentiating bacterial from viral infection using method comparison and/or method concordance.
1. Detect the prevelance of Blastocystis spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. among patients with colorectal cancer attending South Egypt Cancer Institute-Assiut University. 2. Detect the effect of Blastocystis and Cryptosporidium infection on various cytokines level in CRC patients that may be involved in the tumor progression.
This study is designed to assess the comparative clinical utility of the point of care cobas® liat CT/NG/MG to current standard practices in the diagnosis and treatment of urogenital infections with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG).
Single center, no profit experimental study on sera available in the Tropica Biobank.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance, usability, and result interpretation of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test (referred to INSTI® HIV ST) in the intended use population across the United States (US). The INSTI® HIV Self-Test is a single use in vitro test that is used as a self-test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human fingerstick blood. This study is designed to evaluate INSTI® HIV ST performance in the hands of non-professionals and untrained lay users who are inexperienced in HIV blood-based self-testing. The study aims to: To evaluate the clinical performance (i.e., diagnostic sensitivity and specificity) of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test in a lay user population. To assess the user's comprehension of the INSTI® HIV ST results (e.g., interpreting positive, negative, and invalid results). To evaluate the usability of the INSTI® HIV ST and understand users' experience in performing the test.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of surgical site infection (SSIs) after third molar surgery for different duration of intravenous ampicillin administration.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot clinical study to assess the effect of Doctor's Biome Medical Food (DBMF) in individuals with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
