Article Abstract
Fish substitution in fish products is an important issue in fish markets, as it is a widespread practice. An authentication protocol for Rohu, Thaila and Tilapia was developed by multiplex PCR. Three species-specific and one degenerate common forward primer were designed using the Cytb gene of the mitochondrial genome. These primers for Labeo rohita, Labeo catla and Oreochromis niloticus showed the fragment size of 235 bp, 186 bp and 506 bp on the agarose gel, respectively. The primers for L. rohita and L. catla were sensitive to 0.1 ng of DNA template, while for O. niloticus this value was 1 ng of DNA template. A total of 230 commercial samples (160 fried and 70 processed fish products) were screened, where 60% mislabeling in fried and 30% mislabeling in processed fish were found. This multiplex PCR protocol could give useful insights for food inspection and enforcement of regulatory food control.

Taiwan consensus on pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease: A joint statement from the Taiwan Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (TBMT) and Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (TSPCCM).

Pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), particularly bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), is a severe complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with significant morbidity and mortality. This report, developed collaboratively by experts from the Taiwan Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (TBMT) and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (TSPCCM), provides consensus statements for the diagnosis, surveillance and management of pulmonary cGVHD. Early detection through pulmonary function tests (PFTs) is critical, with serial monitoring recommended after allo-HSCT.

Background: High % of low-voltage area (LVA), a surrogate of scar, is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Noninvasive biomarkers of LVA are a medical need for PVI decision.
Objective: We aimed to identify the proteome profile of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) associated with high % LVA, their cellular origin, and their regulation by hyperglycemia.

The mechanism underlying the effects of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on missed abortion (MA) remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between PAHs exposure, telomere length (TL), metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism, and MA in a case-control study with 253 pregnant women. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify PAH-DNA adducts.

Background: Hospital surfaces are critical reservoirs of multidrug-resistant pathogens, including third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (3GC-R-GNB), significantly contributing to healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). This challenge is pronounced in low- and middle-income countries, where resource constraints limit effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. This study screened hospital surfaces for 3GC-R-GNB in selected District Hospitals (DHs) in Mwanza, Tanzania.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the performance of different clinical specimens-nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs collected by healthcare professionals (HCP-NP), self-collected nasal swabs (Sc-N), and saliva samples (S)-in diagnostic tests for investigating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA and influenza A/B RNA.
Methodology: These clinical samples were collected from 404 symptomatic cases and tested with the SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/B RNA tests on the cobas 6800 System of Roche Molecular Systems (Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, USA). The SARS-CoV-2 or influenza virus infection status was determined for all patients based on the predefined criteria and corresponding algorithms.
