Use of a Chagas Urine Nanoparticle Test (Chunap) to Correlate with Parasitemia Levels in T cruzi/HIV Co-infected Patients
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of reactivated Chagas disease in HIV patients could be lifesaving. In Latin America, the diagnosis is made by microscopical detection of the T. cruzi parasite in the blood; a diagnostic test ...
Urine dilution boosts the electricity production in bio-electrochemical systems powered by un-pretreated human urine
(Elsevier Science SA, 2021-02)
Human urine can be turned into electricity in bio-electrochemical systems. The acclimation of electro-active bacteria to culture media with increasing urine concentrations has led to raising the obtained current densities, ...
Colorimetric Detection of Plasmodium vivax in Urine Using MSP10 Oligonucleotides and Gold Nanoparticles
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent cause of human malaria in the world and can lead to severe disease with high potential for relapse. Its genetic and geographic diversities make it challenging to control. P. vivax is ...
Population Screening for Urine Antigens to Detect Asymptomatic Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis: A Pilot Study in Northern Peru
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020)
Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis (SANCC) is a severe and progressive brain infection with Taenia solium. We performed a pilot study of noninvasive screening for SANCC in two endemic villages in northern Peru using a urine ...
Nanoparticle-Based Histidine-Rich Protein-2 Assay for the Detection of the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016)
A nanoparticle-based assay for detection and quantification of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2) in urine and serum is reported. The assay uses magnetic beads conjugated with anti-HRP2 antibody for ...
Urine lipoarabinomannan glycan in HIV-negative patients with pulmonary tuberculosis correlates with disease severity
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2017)
An accurate urine test for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), affecting 9.6 million patients worldwide, is critically needed for surveillance and treatment management. Past attempts failed to reliably detect the mycobacterial ...
Effect of salt substitution on community-wide blood pressure and hypertension incidence
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Replacement of regular salt with potassium-enriched substitutes reduces blood pressure in controlled situations, mainly among people with hypertension. We report on a population-wide implementation of this strategy in a ...
Green Photoluminescent Methodology for Aluminium Traces Quantification in 24-Hour Urine of Subjects with Different Exposition to Tobacco Smoke
(Scientific Research, 2018-10-25)
The aim of this work has been to evaluate the aluminium Al(III) traces contents in 24-hours urine samples from subjects with different tobacco smoke exposition using a new methodology using 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone ...
A diagnostic study comparing conventional and real-time PCR for Strongyloides stercoralis on urine and on faecal samples
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
Strongyloides stercoralis is a soil-transmitted helminth with a wide distribution in tropical and subtropical areas. The diagnosis of S. stercoralisinfection can be challenging, due to the low sensitivity of microscopic ...
