Article Abstract

Relapse is one of the major challenges in clinical treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Though minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring plays a crucial role in quantitative assessment of the disease, molecular MRD analysis has been mainly limited to patients diagnosed with gene fusions and NPM1 mutations. Here, we report a longitudinal ultra-sensitive mutation burden (UMB) monitoring strategy for accurate MRD analysis in AML patients regardless of genetic abnormality types. Using a Quantitative Blocker Displacement Amplification (QBDA) sequencing panel with limit of detection below 0.01% variant allele frequency (VAF), a hazard ratio of 14.8 (p < 0.001) is observed in cumulative incidence of relapse analysis of 20 patients with ≥ 2 samples during complete remission (CR). The ROC area under curve (AUC) is 0.98 when predicting relapse within 30 weeks of CR timepoint 2 (N = 20). Furthermore, we demonstrate quantitating VAF below 0.01% is essential for accurate relapse prediction.

A graded hollow-core optical microcavity (GHCOM) functionalized by polyA-AuNPs is proposed and demonstrated for DNA hybridization detection with ultra-low limit of detection (LoD) and high specificity. The GHCOM with wall thickness of ∼2 μm and Q factor of 7.8 × 10 is fabricated, featuring a graded longitudinal shape which enhances light-matter interaction near sensing interface of the microcavity.

The assay of plasma biomarkers plays a role in the assessment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the monitoring of treatments. One of the ultra-sensitive assay technologies is the so-called immunomagnetic reduction (IMR). According to published papers, plasma amyloid β peptide (Aβ) and total tau protein (T-Tau) are crucial biomarkers.

Post-treatment duration of positivity for standard and ultra-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests, a cohort study from a low-endemic setting in Namibia.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated how long malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) and ultra-sensitive RDT (uRDT) remained positive after treatment in a low transmission area in Namibia, finding an average positivity duration of 42 days for RDT and 67 days for uRDT.
  • - Factors such as younger age, higher initial parasite density, and persistent parasitemia were linked to longer test positivity, indicating that the usual explanations for lingering positive results, like drug resistance, did not apply.
  • - These prolonged positivity durations highlight challenges in using RDTs and uRDTs for accurately identifying current infections in low transmission settings, as they might reflect residual parasite DNA rather than active infection.

Introduction: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) is recommended by scientific societies for women undergoing highly gonadotoxic cancer treatments. Following transplantation, the restoration of ovarian function is typically characterised by the resumption of spontaneous menstruation. Yet, a few studies have looked at the longitudinal hormonal variations following transplantation.
