Article Abstract
Febrile infants 8-60 days of age underwent multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) testing in the emergency department. The virus-positive rate was 61.3%, with serious bacterial infections (SBIs) at 12.5%, invasive bacterial infections (IBIs) at 3.6%, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) at 8.9%. mPCR-positive cases demonstrated lower frequencies of SBIs, IBIs and UTIs; however, the number of IBIs was limited.

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.

Plasmids are commonly employed in the delivery of clustered regularly interspaced shortpalindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) components for genome editing. However, the absence of heritable plasmids in numerous organisms limits the development of CRISPR/Cas genome editing tools. Moreover, cumbersome procedures for plasmid construction and curing render genome editing time-consuming.

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.
