Challenges in HIV Diagnosis Algorithm: Experience of the Confirmation Laboratory by Özgür Appak, Derya Özarslan, Arzu Nazlı, Ayca Arzu Sayiner

“…Half of the samples with positive-screening but negative-antibody confirmatory results were tested for HIV1-RNA, and viremia was detected in 5, confirming acute HIV1 infection. HIV1-RNA was not ordered for 49 samples with positive-screening and negative antibody-confirmation tests, and 16 of these were considered false-reactive by the clinician. …”

A hypothesis about interrelations of epigenetic factors and transposable elements in memory formation by R. N. Mustafin

“…These changes occur in the hippocampus dentate gyrus, where a pronounced activity of transposons and their insertion near neuron-specific genes have been detected. In experiments on changing the activity of histone acetyltransferase and inhibition of DNA methyltransferase and reverse transcriptase, the involvement of epigenetic factors and retroelements in the mechanisms of memory formation has been shown. …”

Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques for Surveillance of Dysplasia in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease by M Iacucci, T Uraoka, M Fort Gasia, N Yahagi

“…Random biopsies during white-light, standard-definition colonoscopy (33 to 50 biopsies) with or without dye spraying chromoendoscopy has been the recommended strategy in North America to detect dysplastic lesions in IBD. However, there are several limitations to this approach including poor physician adherence, poor sensitivity, increased procedure time and considerable cost. …”

Supervision and Control as Special Forms of Protecting Labor Rights of Employees who Work for Employers Being Individuals by I. V. Vasylko

“…It has been argued that the implementation of control and supervisory activities in the studied area relies on various public authorities, where their main functions should include the detection of violations of labor rights of employees by employers, development of propositions to prevent violations of labor laws, monitoring the compliance with regulations issued in regard to employer in the result of inspections by the competent authorities, development and approval of the annual plan for scheduled inspections; drawing up minutes on administrative offenses against employers who have violated labor legislation; organization and monitoring of the compliance with labor legislation, including the collection, processing and analysis of information, operation of an automated information system for control and supervision.…”

Lithium and strontium isotope hydrogeochemistry in Okayama and Tottori Prefectures, southwest Japan: implications for tracing slab-derived fluid by Manato Akishiba, Yoshiro Nishio

“…The aim of our study is to understand why there have been limited reports of Arima-type fluids, despite the likelihood of their formation during slab dehydration. δ 7Li data can be used to identify Arima-type fluids in samples with Cl– concentrations below 3400 mg/L, whereas δD and δ 18O data have difficulty to detect them. In this study, we collected and analyzed samples from Okayama and Tottori Prefectures in southwest Japan, focusing on their chemical compositions and δ 7Li and 87Sr/86Sr values. …”

Diagnostic yield of cystic fibrosis from a South Australian monocentric cohort: a retrospective study by Maria Fuller, Jasmina Markulić

“…Although newborn screening includes CF, this typically only covers a selection of common genetic variants, and with over 2000 reported in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, we hypothesised that patients will be missed and present clinically later in life.Design A retrospective study over a 5-year period (January 2018–December 2022).Setting A single pathology service in South Australia.Participants A total of 1909 CF test referrals from patients with clinical suspicion indicated by respiratory and gastrointestinal manifestations, foetal echogenic bowel and male infertility and asymptomatic CF requests for reproductive carrier screening.Primary and secondary outcome measures The number and type of CFTR gene variants detected in symptomatic and asymptomatic testing referrals.Results A total of 25 patients were diagnosed with CF or CF-related disorders (2.5%) with gastrointestinal symptoms yielding the highest diagnostic rate of 4.4%. …”
