BACKGROUND: Currently it can take up to 5 days to rule out bloodstream infection. With the low yield of blood cultures (approximately 10%), a significant number of patients are potentially exposed to inappropriate therapy that can lead to adverse eve...
A novel real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) platform for the simple and robust detection of platinum is described for the first time. Compared with conventional qPCR, a helper template, which is related to the active template for performing qP...
Preeclampsia (PE), new onset hypertension during pregnancy, is associated with a proinflammatory profile compared to normal pregnancy (NP). We hypothesize that CD4 T cells from PE patient placentas cause PE symptoms during pregnancy compared to those...
Sexual assault evidence samples require the use of a specific process known as a differential digestion to separate sperm from nonsperm cells prior to DNA extraction. An automated differential digestion process was developed using a selective degrada...
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spread rapidly across the United States in part due to contaminated livestock trailers. The objective of this study was to test a peroxygen-based disinfectant for the ability to inactivate PEDV on aluminum surfa...
Both veterinarians caring for dolphins in managed populations and researchers monitoring wild populations use blood-based diagnostics to monitor bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) health. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) can be used to assess cytokine tr...
The supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a group of neurons in the hypothalamus responsible for the synthesis and secretion of the peptide hormones vasopressin and oxytocin. Following physiological cues, such as dehydration, salt-loading and lactation, the SO...
