BACKGROUND: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have improved malaria case management by enabling point-of-care confirmation of infection, particularly in low-resource settings. In addition to clinical use, RDT results recorded in health facility registers...
BACKGROUND: The introduction of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) has expanded the parasitological confirmation of malaria at all levels of health systems in sub-Saharan Africa, improving case management and surveillance. However, concerns persis...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in rural areas of high-burden countries like China. Active case finding (ACF) and timely treatment have been proven effective in reducing TB prevalence, but the...
A new analytical method for chronic kidney disease (CKD) detection utilizing paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS) combined with machine learning is presented. The analytical protocol is rapid and simple, based on metabolic profile alterations in uri...
Prominent techniques such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and rapid kits are currently being explored to both enhance sensitivity and reduce assay time for diagnostic tests. Existing commerc...
The need for precise and early diagnosis of malaria and its distinction from other febrile illnesses is no doubt a prerequisite, primarily when standard rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) cannot be totally relied upon. At the time of disease outbreaks, th...
