ENHANCING URINARY TRACT INFECTION DIAGNOSIS FOR NEGATIVE CULTURE PATIENTS WITH METAGENOMIC NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING (MNGS)

Enhancing urinary tract infection diagnosis for negative culture patients with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS)

BackgroundMetagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a promising technology that allows unbiased pathogen detection and is increasingly being used for clinical diagnoses.However, its application in urinary tract infection (UTI) is still scarce.MethodsThe medical records of 33 patients oliver peoples forman r with suspected UTI who were admitt

Mechanisms contributing to inhibition of retinal ganglion cell death by cell permeable peptain-1 under glaucomatous stress

Abstract This study assesses the neuroprotective potential of CPP-P1, a conjugate of an anti-apoptotic peptain-1 (P1) and a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) in in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo glaucoma models.Primary retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were subjected to either neurotrophic factor (NF) deprivation for 48 h or endothelin-3 (ET-3) treatment for
