However, influenza testing is indicated for patients at high risk for influenza complications, because test results are anticipated to influence clinical management. Influenza testing is also helpful in identifying the cause of outbreaks of respiratory illness. Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs), ...
There are hydrophobic patches and voids, and it does not include any prosthetic groups; it is a simple protein, not glycosylated. There are three structurally similar domains that make up albumin. The structure has three domains: domain I, which spans residues 1–195; domain II, which spans ...
Conventional laboratory diagnostic tests for influenza are considered gold standards, but are seldom able to give clinicians a timely result. Viral culture has a turnaround time of at least 48 h (for shell vial culture), and even RT-PCR, which has a turnaround time of 4–6 h, is usually...
The infection can be caused by bacteria, viruses (including the influenza virus) or fungi that affect air sacs in the the lungs, called alveoli, to become inflamed and fill up with fluid or pus. This makes it hard for the lungs to take oxygen out of the air you breathe ...
Fortunately, no evidence for the presence of this mutation or any other mutations conferring antiviral resistance has been found in infected dairy cattle or in the infected farm workers. As avian influenza (H5N1) cases increase among cattle in the United States, global efforts are ramping up to ...

In the context of a COVID-19 pandemic, we want to improve prognostic predictions to triage and manage patient care. Data is the first step to developing any diagnostic/prognostic tool. While there exist large public datasets of more typical chest X-rays from the NIH [Wang 2017], Spain [Bu...
Which part of the body does colon cancer affect? What are some warning signs? Are there any treatments? Approximately how many people are affected with this type of cancer? Are certain people more at risk than others? Is it more prevalent in certain area ...
In recent years, albumin has become a very effective macromolecular carrier for therapeutic and diagnostic medical applications. Anderson et al. examined its function in binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and elucidated its pH-dependent binding mode. There are at least three key reasons why...
