Development of an Indexed Score to Identify the Most Suitable Biological Material to Assess SARS-CoV-2

Introduction: The rapidly contagious process of respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 makes it urgent to multiply testing for diagnostics to identify the active viral shedding cases (current infection, carriage state or, residual viral RNA) and decrease the risk of transmission to other patients and healthcare professionals. Although nasopharyngeal swabs (NPSs) are the most common specimen type used for COVID-19 diagnosis, they require supervision by a professional, and concerns have been raised regarding healthcare personnel exposure, difficulty in collection, and patient discomfort. Viral RNA can also be detected in specimens such as saliva, blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, sputum, faeces, and urine. This study aimed to provide updated information about the most suitable biological material to diagnose SARS-CoV-2, considering the risk assessment, specialization needed, test cost, complexity of the collection, and sample treatment associated with the different types of specimens. Methods: An extensive search of scientific review articles was made to collect information about the biological specimens to identify SARS-CoV-2 in the urine, sputum, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, bronchoalveolar (BAL), saliva, faeces, and blood. For this purpose, an index score was developed based on seven categories: Materials and Equipment; Infection Risk for the Health Professional; Infection Risk for the Patient; Collection; Cost; Specialized HR; and RNA Extraction Type. Results and Discussion: Each criterion from the index score was quoted from 1.0 to 5.0, and a sum was made to classify which specimen is the best choice to diagnose SARS-CoV-2, according to the chosen parameters. Data indicated that urine specimens are the most elementary biological sample to access. Regarding RNA extraction, NPSs, OPS, and BAL presented the maximum score. However, BAL has the lowest score regarding associated costs. Concerning sputum and saliva, all the aspects were evaluated with a score of 5.0 except for the RNA Extraction Type in sputum. Regarding the total scores of the multiple specimens, the lowest corresponds to BAL with a score of 1.7, followed by blood with 3.1 and NPSs and OPS with 3.6 and 3.7, respectively. Urine and faeces have the same value, 4.4, sputum has 4.9, and the highest and maximum possible value corresponds to saliva with 5.0, making this last specimen the most suitable for all considered parameters. Conclusion: Although OPS and NPSs are the most used specimens, there are better alternatives. Among all the specimens of the respiratory system, saliva is the most cost-effective specimen for performing SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. Even though these infections are usually diagnosed clinically based on symptoms and local epidemiology, the identification of the specific pathogen may affect clinical management and be crucial for containing potential outbreaks.

Writing a Scientific Review Article: Comprehensive Insights for Beginners.

Review articles present comprehensive overview of relevant literature on specific themes and synthesise the studies related to these themes, with the aim of strengthening the foundation of knowledge and facilitating theory development. The significance of review articles in science is immeasurable as both students and researchers rely on these articles as the starting point for their research. Interestingly, many postgraduate students are expected to write review articles for journal publications as a way of demonstrating their ability to contribute to new knowledge in their respective fields. However, there is no comprehensive instructional framework to guide them on how to analyse and synthesise the literature in their niches into publishable review articles. The dearth of ample guidance or explicit training results in students having to learn all by themselves, usually by trial and error, which often leads to high rejection rates from publishing houses. Therefore, this article seeks to identify these challenges from a beginner's perspective and strives to plug the identified gaps and discrepancies. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to serve as a systematic guide for emerging scientists and to summarise the most important information on how to write and structure a publishable review article.

Pandemic potential of henipaviruses

Introduction and purpose. Hendra and Nipah are two highly dangerous zoonotic viruses belonging to the group of henipaviruses. Although they have been known for more than 20 years, no human drug or vaccine has been invented for them. The aim of this paper is to describe the epidemiology of the reported paramyxoviruses, the pandemic potential of henipaviruses and a standardised action plan to counter their spread. This paper is a review of scientific articles from 2012-2023 published in the scientific databases such as Pubmed, Researchgate and Google Scholar. The following keywords were used: pandemic potential of henipaviruses, Hendra virus, Nipah virus, henipavirus epidemics. Description of the state of knowledge. The mortality rate of henipaviruses varies between 50-100%. The Nipah virus is particularly dangerous, with epidemics recurring virtually every year in Asia since 1998. The Hendra virus situation is more manageable because there is an effective vaccine for horses, which are most vulnerable to infection. Through anthropogenic changes, the terrain and climate where the animals that are the reservoir of the virus are found are changing. Due to the numerous outbreaks of henipaviruses in areas of Asia and Australia, great care is being taken to quickly neutralise the outbreaks that occur. Conclusions. Due to the high pandemic threat from henipaviruses, more research into drugs and vaccines is required. It is also important to develop effective bio-assurance plans, introduce controls on their operation and educate the population on the issue. Reservoir animals, through anthropogenic changes in the environment, are changing habitats and feeding sites, making more and more territories vulnerable to the disease. New species of henipaviruses are emerging all the time, posing an epizootic challenge to public health, so a key action is to increase the amount of research into the epidemic development of the virus and to conduct it as widely as possible.

Impact of Thyroid Dysfunction on Hair Disorders.

Hair loss is a problem for everyone, regardless of their age or sex. The three most prevalent types of hair loss, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and androgenetic alopecia, have been associated with a variety of risk factors. Strong evidence links thyroid hormones (THs) to hair loss. THs control the growth, differentiation, metabolism, and thermogenesis of body cells. The skin is a significant target organ for THs; however, the cellular and molecular causes of thyroid dysfunction-related skin diseases remainunknown. Hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and drug-induced hypothyroidism can induce widespread hair shedding. Little information is available regarding the incidence and effects of thyroid dysfunction on hair problems. This study aimed to review the impact and prevalence of thyroid disorders on hair loss. The conclusions drawn from this study highlight the underestimated prevalence and impact of thyroid disorders on hair loss. The review of scientific articles, including original research, review articles, and a case report, provides a comprehensive understanding of the topic. This research adds to the existing literature by enhancing our understanding of the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and hair disorders. It contributes to the body of evidence by reviewing relevant studies and summarizing the impact of thyroid disorders on hair loss. The study also highlights the gaps in knowledge and the need for more research in this area to improve the diagnosis and management of hair disorders associated with thyroid dysfunction.
