Pregnancy and < em > SARS-CoV-2 < /em > infection with a focus on its vertical transmission, breastfeeding, cord blood banking, and vaccination during COVID-19 infection
J Immunoassay Immunochem. 2023 Oct 4:1-20. doi: 10.1080/15321819.2023.2259454. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe SARS-CoV-2 outbreak led to a health crisis worldwide. This infection can infect individuals, particularly pregnant women. In this review, we tried to find the possibility of vertical transmission of COVID-19 and investigate the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy, breastfeeding, cord blood banking, and the effects of recommended vaccines on pregnant and lactating women. Keywords include COVID-19, congenital infection, SARS-CoV-2, pregnancy, and COVID-19 vaccines. Vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 was searched in ...

Development of a novel lectin-based gold nanoparticle point-of-care immunoassay for rapid diagnosis of patients with severe Dengue infection
J Immunoassay Immunochem. 2023 Oct 4:1-18. doi: 10.1080/15321819.2023.2260480. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRapid diagnosis of patients with severe Dengue infection can be useful for the efficient clinical management of cases caused by the Dengue virus. Lateral Flow Immunoassay (LFIA) have been broadly used for rapid Dengue diagnosis, because of their quick readouts with the human eye, simplicity of use, and affordability. Despite the availability of several commercial Dengue point-of-care assays, none has shown to be successful in discriminating between severe and nonsevere forms of Dengue infection. In the current study...

Can β-catenin, Tenascin and Fascin be potential biomarkers for personalized therapy in Gastric carcinoma?
This study aimed to evaluate β-catenin, Tenascin, and Fascin expression and their possible roles as prognostic and predictive biomarkers in GC using immunohistochemistry. This retrospective study included 84 GC cases. Tissue microarrays were constructed, followed by β-catenin, Tenascin, and Fascin immunostaining. Their expression was assessed and compared with clinicopathological parameters and survival data. The study results revealed that β-catenin nucleocytoplasmic expression, positive Tenascin, and Fascin expressions were detected in 86.9%, 70%, and 59.5% of cases, respectively. Their expression was significantly as...
