[PMID: 38788652 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Spiropidion developed by Syngenta shows high insecticidal and acaricidal activity against a wide range of sucking pests. In this study, according to the structure of spiropidion, two haptens were synthesized by introducing carboxyl groups from the ester group. After cell fusion, a monoclonal antibody (mAb 8B5) of spiropidion was obtained. The IC50 of the established heterologous indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) was 7.36 ng/mL, and its working range was 1.75-34.92 ng/mL. The average recoveries were 76.05-124.78% in the Yangtze River and citrus samples. Moreover, the ic-ELISA results of 15 citrus samples agreed well with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Overall, the established ic-ELISA could be applied for the spiropidion residue monitor in food and agricultural samples.

Abstract
There has been an increasing demand for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in one sample. Microbead-based platforms have been developed for multiplexed assays. However, most of the microbeads are made of non-biodegradable synthetic polymers, leading to environmental and human health concerns. In this study, we developed an environmentally friendly dextran microbeads as a new type of multi-analyte assay platform. Biodegradable dextran was utilized as the primary material. Highly uniform magnetic dextran microspheres were successfully synthesized using the Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification technique. To enhance the amount of surface functional groups for ligand conjugation, we coated the dextran microbeads with a layer of dendrimers via a simple electrostatic adsorption process. Subsequently, a unique and efficient click chemistry coupling technique was developed for the fluorescence encoding of the microspheres, enabling multiplexed detection. The dextran microbeads were tested for 3-plex cytokine analysis, and exhibited excellent biocompatibility, stable coding signals, low background noise and high sensitivity.

Simultaneous quantification of co-administered trastuzumab and pertuzumab in serum based on nano-surface and molecular-orientation limited (nSMOL) proteolysis. RSC Adv 2024; 14:19550-19559. [PMID: 38895524 PMCID: PMC11184472 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03060e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are pivotal therapeutic agents for various diseases, and effective treatment hinges on attaining a specific threshold concentration of mAbs in patients. With the rising adoption of combination therapy involving multiple mAbs, there arises a clinical demand for multiplexing assays capable of measuring the concentrations of these mAbs. However, minimizing the complexity of serum samples while achieving rapid and accurate quantification is difficult. In this work, we introduced a novel method termed nano-surface and molecular orientation limited (nSMOL) proteolysis for the fragment of antigen binding (Fab) region-selective proteolysis of co-administered trastuzumab and pertuzumab based on the pore size difference between the protease nanoparticles (∼200 nm) and the resin-captured antibody (∼100 nm). The hydrolyzed peptide fragments were then quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In this process, the digestion time is shortened, and the produced digestive peptides are greatly reduced, thereby minimizing sample complexity and increasing detection accuracy. Assay linearity was confirmed within the ranges of 0.200-200 μg mL-1 for trastuzumab and 0.300-200 μg mL-1 for pertuzumab. The intra- and inter-day precision was within 9.52% and 8.32%, except for 12.5% and 10.8% for the lower limit of quantitation, and the accuracy (bias%) was within 6.3%. Additionally, other validation parameters were evaluated, and all the results met the acceptance criteria of the guiding principles. Our method demonstrated accuracy and selectivity for the simultaneous determination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in clinical samples, addressing the limitation of ligand binding assays incapable of simultaneously quantifying mAbs targeting the same receptor. This proposed assay provides a promising technical approach for realizing clinical individualized precise treatment, especially for co-administered mAbs.

A new insight into the early detection of HER2 protein in breast cancer patients with a focus on electrochemical biosensors approaches: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 272:132710. [PMID: 38825266 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women and is a prevalent kind of cancerous growth, representing a substantial risk to women's health. Early detection of breast cancer is essential for effective treatment and improved survival rates. Biomarkers, active substances that signal the existence and advancement of a tumor, play a significant role in the early detection of breast cancer. Hence, accurate identification of biomarkers for tumors is crucial for diagnosing and treating breast cancer. However, the primary diagnostic methods used for the detection of breast cancer require specific equipment, skilled professionals, and specialized analysis, leading to elevated detection expenses. Regarding this obstacle, recent studies emphasize electrochemical biosensors as more advanced and sensitive detection tools compared to traditional methods. Electrochemical biosensors are employed to identify biomarkers that act as unique indicators for the onset, recurrence, and monitoring of therapeutic interventions for breast cancer. This study aims to provide a summary of the electrochemical biosensors that have been employed for the detection of breast cancer at an early stage over the past decade. Initially, the text provides concise information about breast cancer and tumor biomarkers. Subsequently, an in-depth analysis is conducted to systematically review the progress of electrochemical biosensors developed for the stable, specific, and sensitive identification of biomarkers associated with breast cancer. Particular emphasis was given to crucial clinical biomarkers, specifically the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). The analysis then explores the limitations and challenges inherent in the design of effective biosensors for diagnosing and treating breast cancer. Ultimately, we provided an overview of future research directions and concluded by outlining the advantages of electrochemical biosensor approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for knee osteoarthritis has grown exponentially over the past decade; however, its scientific evaluation is highly variable. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons addressed the need for the standardization of orthobiologics studies by publishing the Minimum Information for Studies Evaluating Biologics in Orthopaedics (MIBO) guidelines in May 2017. In total, the MIBO guidelines are divided into 12 categories, encompassing 23 checklist items. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze how well randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on PRP interventions for knee osteoarthritis adhered to the MIBO guidelines. We hypothesized that most articles would report <80% of the MIBO criteria. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were used to perform a systematic review in the PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science databases. Inclusion criteria included English-language RCTs that assessed PRP interventions for knee osteoarthritis and reported beginning patient enrollment in June 2017 or later. The original 23 MIBO checklist items were separated and modified into a 44-point checklist. Adherence was determined by calculating the total percentage of checklist items that each article adequately and clearly reported from the 44-point checklist. RESULTS A total of 25 RCTs (2356 patients) were included in this study. The weighted mean age was 57.7 ± 4.4 years, with 42.9% being male. On average, only 53.1% ± 10.4% (range, 31.8%-77.3%) of the 44-point MIBO checklist items were reported per article. No articles had adherence rates ≥80%, 5 (20.0%) had rates between 60% and 79.9%, and 20 (80.0%) had rates ≤59.9%. Categories fluctuated in adherence, with "Intervention" having the greatest adherence (100.0%) and "Activation" having the lowest (14.0%). Additionally, 4 (33.3%) categories had adherence rates ≥80%, 0 had rates from 60% to 79.9%, and 8 (66.7%) had rates ≤59.9%. CONCLUSION The overall mean adherence to MIBO guidelines by RCTs on PRP interventions for knee osteoarthritis was 53.1%. To increase the reproducibility, improve transparency, and assess the treatment efficacy of future PRP studies, reporting of MIBO guidelines should be improved.

Abstract
Soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 (sST2) is a new generation biomarker in the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure (HF). Here, the sST2-specific aptamers were selected from a random ssDNA library with the full length of 88 nucleotides (nt) via target-immobilized magnetic beads (MB)-based systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technology. After eight rounds of selection, six aptamers with the most enrichment were selected. Among, the aptamer L1 showed the high-affinity binding to sST2 with the lowest Kd value (77.3 ± 0.05 nM), which was chosen as the optimal aptamer for further molecular docking. Then, the aptamer L1 was used to construct a graphene oxide (GO) - based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor for sST2, which exhibits a linear detection range of 0.1-100 μg/ml and a detection limit of 3.7 ng/ml. The aptasensor was applied to detect sST2 in real samples, with a good correlation and agreement with the traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) when quantitative analyzing the sST2 concentration in serum samples from HF patients. The results show that not only an efficient strategy for screening the practicable aptamer, but also a rapid and sensitive detection platform for sST2 were established.

Abstract
The review delves into the methods for the quantitative assessment of intracellular effectors and cellular response of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE), a vital transmembrane receptor involved in a range of physiological and pathological processes. RAGE bind to Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) and other ligands, which in turn activate diverse downstream signaling pathways that impact cellular responses such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune reactions. The review article discusses the intracellular signaling pathways activated by RAGE followed by differential activation of RAGE signaling across various diseases. This will ultimately guide researchers in developing targeted and effective interventions for diseases associated with RAGE activation. Further, we have discussed how PCR, western blotting, and microscopic examination of various molecules involved in downstream signaling can be leveraged to monitor, diagnose, and explore diseases involving proteins with unique post-translational modifications. This review article underscores the pressing need for advancements in molecular approaches for disease detection and management involving RAGE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Saliva has gained increasing attention in the quest for disease biomarkers. Because it is a biological fluid that can be collected is an easy, painless, and safe way, it has been increasingly studied for the identification of oral cancer biomarkers. This is particularly important because oral cancer is often diagnosed at late stages with a poor prognosis. AREAS COVERED The review addresses the evolution of the experimental approaches used in salivary proteomics studies of oral cancer over the years and outlines advantages and pitfalls related to each one. In addition, examines the current landscape of oral cancer biomarker discovery and translation focusing on salivary proteomic studies. This discussion is based on an extensive literature search (PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar). EXPERT OPINION The introduction of mass spectrometry has revolutionized the study of salivary proteomics. In the future, the focus will be on refining existing methods and introducing powerful experimental techniques such as mass spectrometry with selected reaction monitoring, which, despite their effectiveness, are still underutilized due to their high cost. In addition, conducting studies with larger cohorts and establishing standardized protocols for salivary proteomics are key challenges that need to be addressed in the coming years.

Abstract
Gizzerosine is responsible for gizzard erosion and black vomit, owing to excessive gastric acid secretion in poultry. It is a biogenic amine that forms during feed processing. Gizzerosine, a derivative of histamine, is a serious threat to animal feed safety and poultry production because it is more potent after ingestion and more harmful to poultry than histamine. The difficulty of obtaining gizzerosine and the lack of simple, rapid, and sensitive in vitro detection techniques have hindered studies on the effects of gizzerosine on gizzard health and poultry production. In this review, we evaluated the natural formation and the chemical synthesis methods of gizzerosine and introduced seven detection methods and their principles for analyzing gizzerosine. This review summarizes the issues of gizzerosine research and suggests methods for the future development of gizzerosine detection methods.

The advantages of liquid biopsies include sampling the eye without causing irreversible functional damage, potentially better reflecting tissue heterogeneity, collecting samples in an outpatient setting, monitoring therapeutic response with sequential sampling, and even allowing examination of disease mechanisms at the cell level in living humans, an approach that we refer to as TEMPO (Tracing Expression of Multiple Protein Origins). Liquid biopsy proteomics has the potential to transform molecular diagnostics and prognostics and to assess disease mechanisms and personalized therapeutic strategies in individual patients. This review addresses opportunities, challenges, and future directions of high-resolution liquid biopsy proteomics in ophthalmology, with particular emphasis on the large-scale collection of high-quality samples, cutting edge proteomics technology, and artificial intelligence-supported data analysis.

Abstract
Cytokines have the potential to be the ideal biomarkers to track the onset and progression of immune-mediated diseases, study the development of novel therapeutic strategies, and they can serve as outcome parameters due to their crucial role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. It is vital to keep track of the entire cytokine spectrum due to the complex interactions, pleiotropic effects, and redundancy in the cytokine network. The multiplex immunoassay (MIA) is, therefore, the best method for achieving that goal. This chapter addresses the key methodological processes of this technique, such as sample preparation, antibody coupling to beads, and assay procedure.

Clinical implications of discordance between anti-dsDNA antibodies by multiplex flow immunoassay and Crithidia luciliae assay in a multiethnic racial cohort of patients with SLE.

[PMID: 37963669 PMCID: PMC10649789 DOI: 10.1136/lupus-2023-001012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anti-dsDNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA) are a component of all classification schemes in SLE and comprise one of the domains in validated activity indices. Anti-dsDNA is frequently measured commercially by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or Crithidia luciliae immunofluorescence test (CLIFT). To address the clinical impact of measuring these antibodies by two different assays, this study leveraged a well-phenotyped multiethnic/racial cohort. METHODS All patients fulfilled the classification criteria for SLE by at least one of the validated schemes: American College of Rheumatology, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus International Collaborating Clinics and/or American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria. Patients with one or more simultaneously paired anti-dsDNA by multiplex EIA and CLIFT were identified. Analysis of concordance or discordance, titre comparability of assays and association with hybrid SLE Disease Activity Index score, prevalence of lupus nephritis (LN), ability to predict a flare and classification criteria was performed. RESULTS 207 patients were simultaneously tested by EIA and CLIFT at least once for anti-dsDNA, generating 586 paired results. 377 pairs were concordant and 209 were discordant. 41 of 207 patients always had discordant paired results and 39 patients always had results with titre discordance. In 100 patients with LN, 60 were positive by EIA and 72 by CLIFT. Sensitivities and specificities for patients with LN versus patients without LN were EIA 60% and 47%, and CLIFT 72% and 37%, respectively. 42 patients had flare assessment within 90 days of their paired result. Six of seven patients with mild flares and all four patients with severe flares had concordant positive results. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that discordance of positivity between both assays for anti-dsDNA is relatively common, occurring in a fifth of patients overall and a third of visits. EIA positivity is associated with LN less often than CLIFT positivity. With the significant discordance of results between anti-dsDNA assays, obtaining both CLIFT and EIA assays may be beneficial for classification and routine monitoring of SLE.

Abstract
For effective implementation of the wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approach, real-time quantification of markers in wastewater is critical for data acquisition before data interpretation, dissemination, and decision-making. This can be achieved by using biosensor technology, but whether the quantification/detection limits of different types of biosensors comply with the concentration of WBE markers in wastewater is unclear. In the present study, we identified promising protein markers with relatively high concentrations in wastewater samples and analyzed biosensor technologies that are potentially available for real-time WBE. The concentrations of potential protein markers in stool and urine samples were obtained through systematic review and meta-analysis. We examined 231 peer-review papers to collect information regarding potential protein markers that can enable us to achieve real-time monitoring using biosensor technology. Fourteen markers in stool samples were identified at the ng/g level, presumably equivalent to ng/L of wastewater after dilution. Moreover, relatively high average concentrations of fecal inflammatory proteins were observed, e.g., fecal calprotectin, clusterin, and lactoferrin. Fecal calprotectin exhibited the highest average log concentration among the markers identified in stool samples with its mean value being 5.24 [95 % CI: 5.05, 5.42] ng/g. We identified 50 protein markers in urine samples at the ng/mL level. Uromodulin (4.48 [95 % CI: 4.20, 4.76] ng/mL) and plasmin (4.18 [95 % CI: 3.15, 5.21] ng/mL) had the top two highest log concentrations in urine samples. Furthermore, the quantification limit of some electrochemical- and optical-based biosensors was found to be around the femtogram/mL level, which is sufficiently low to detect protein markers in wastewater even after dilution in sewer pipes.

Abstract
Procalcitonin (PCT) has been recognized as a specific and early marker for microbial infection and sepsis. Sensitive measuring interaction-triggered luminescence experiment (SMILE), a homogeneous immunoassay method, was established for point-of-care testing (POCT) of PCT. SMILE is achieved through the principle of double antibody sandwich, where two antibodies immobilized on the surface of polystyrene microspheres (donor and acceptor beads) bind to the PCT antigen. The donor bead contains phthalocyanine dye (luminol chemiluminescent substance) and the acceptor bead contains dimethylthiophene derivatives and Eu chelates. Therefore, singlet oxygen can be transferred when the distance between donor and acceptor beads is within 200 nm, generating detectable luminescent signals. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to detect the diameter and polymer dispersity index (PDI) of microspheres before and after binding with antibodies to characterize the immobilization of antibodies. The reaction conditions for antibody immobilization including pH, mass ratio and reaction time have also been optimized. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the SMILE method (0.01 ng mL-1) was lower than that of the LFI method (0.1 ng mL-1), the working range (0.01-500 ng mL-1) was wider than that of the LFI method (0.1-50 ng mL-1), and the assay time (10 min) was shorter than that of the LFI method (15 min). So, SMILE is more suitable for POCT of PCT compared with lateral flow immunochromatography (LFI), which is the most used measuring method, due to its advantages of simple operation, saving time, convenience, wide detection range, and high sensitivity and accuracy.

Abstract
Background Luminex bead-based assays offer multiplexing to test antibodies against multiple antigens simultaneously; however, this requires validation using internationally certified reference standards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to characterize existing reference standards for the standardization of multiplex immunoassays (MIAs). Here, we report the development and validation of an MIA for the simultaneous estimation of levels of human serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies for pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN), diphtheria toxoid (DT), and tetanus toxoid (TT). Methods The MIA was assessed using a panel of human serum samples and WHO reference standards. The WHO reference standards were also studied for suitability in the MIA. Purified antigens (PT, FHA, PRN, DT, and TT) were coupled to the spectrally unique magnetic carboxylated microspheres. The method was validated in accordance with the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the International Committee of Harmonization Multidisciplinary (ICH M10) guidelines, and parameters such as precision, accuracy, dilutional linearity, assay range, robustness, and stability were assessed. Method agreements with commercially available IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays were also evaluated. In addition, the study assessed the level of correlation between the IgG levels estimated by the MIA and the cell-based neutralizing antibody assays for PT and DT. Results We identified that an equimix of WHO international standards (i.e., 06/142, 10/262, and TE-3) afforded the best dynamic range for all the antigens in the MIA. For all five antigens, we observed that the back-fitted recoveries using the four-parameter logistic (4-PL) regression fits ranged between 80% and 120% for all calibration levels, and the percentage coefficient of variation (% CV) was < 20%. In addition, the difference in mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) between the monoplex and multiplex format was < 10% for each antigen, indicating no crosstalk among the beads. The MIA also showed good agreement with conventional and commercially available assays, and a positive correlation (> 0.75) with toxin neutralization assays for PT and DT was observed. Conclusion The MIA that was calibrated in accordance with WHO reference standards demonstrated increased sensitivity, reproducibility, and high throughput capabilities, allowing for the design of robust studies that evaluate both natural and vaccine-induced immunity.

Abstract
Viruses cause various diseases in humans, and pose serious health risks to individuals and populations worldwide. As a result, various diagnostic procedures and methods have been developed to prevent, manage, and reduce the burden of viral diseases, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Among these, paper-based diagnostic chips are becoming increasingly common because of their speed, accuracy, convenience, and economical and environmental friendliness. These paper-based diagnostic tests have ideal point-of-care (POC) diagnostic applications, particularly in personalized healthcare. Paper-based diagnostics have emerged as innovative and low-cost solutions for diagnosing viral diseases in remote and underdeveloped regions where traditional diagnostic methods are not readily available. These tests are easy to use, require minimal equipment, and can be performed by nonspecialized personnel, making them accessible even in resource-constrained settings. In this review, we discuss recent developments in paper-based diagnostic chips, the importance of improved methods for identifying viral pathogens, drawbacks of traditional detection techniques, and challenges and prospects of paper-based diagnostic chips for the detection of viruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antigen immunoassays to detect synovial fluid (SF) microorganisms have recently been made available for clinical use. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of an SF microorganism antigen immunoassay detection (MID) panel, evaluate the panel's capability to detect microorganisms in the setting of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and determine diagnostic predictive values of the MID panel for PJI. METHODS This study included 67,441 SF samples obtained from a hip or knee arthroplasty, from 2,365 institutions across the United States, submitted to 1 laboratory for diagnostic testing. All data were prospectively compiled and then were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative SF data were used to classify each specimen by the International Consensus Meeting (2018 ICM) definition of PJI: 49,991 were not infected, 5,071 were inconclusive, and 12,379 were infected. The MID panel, including immunoassay tests to detect Staphylococcus, Candida, and Enterococcus, was evaluated to determine its diagnostic performance. RESULTS The MID panel demonstrated a sensitivity of 94.2% for infected samples that yielded positive cultures for target microorganisms (Staphylococcus, Candida, or Enterococcus). Among infected samples yielding positive cultures for their respective microorganism, individual immunoassay test sensitivity was 93.0% for Staphylococcus, 92.3% for Candida, and 97.2% for Enterococcus. The specificity of the MID panel for samples that were not infected was 98.4%, yielding a false-positive rate of 1.6%. The MID panel detected microorganisms among 49.3% of SF culture-negative infected samples. For PJI as a diagnosis, the positive predictive value of the MID panel was 91.7% and the negative predictive value was 93.8%. Among MID-positive PJIs, 16.2% yielded a discordant cultured organism instead of that detected by the antigen test. CONCLUSIONS SF microorganism antigen testing provides a timely adjunct method to detect microorganisms in the preoperative SF aspirate, yielding a low false-positive rate and enabling the detection of a microorganism in nearly one-half of SF culture-negative PJIs.

Abstract
While early and precise diagnosis is the key to eliminating tuberculosis (TB), conventional methods using culture conversion or sputum smear microscopy have failed to meet demand. This is especially true in high-epidemic developing countries and during pandemic-associated social restrictions. Suboptimal biomarkers have restricted the improvement of TB management and eradication strategies. Therefore, the research and development of new affordable and accessible methods are required. Following the emergence of many high-throughput quantification TB studies, immunomics has the advantages of directly targeting responsive immune molecules and significantly simplifying workloads. In particular, immune profiling has been demonstrated to be a versatile tool that potentially unlocks many options for application in TB management. Herein, we review the current approaches for TB control with regard to the potentials and limitations of immunomics. Multiple directions are also proposed to hopefully unleash immunomics' potential in TB research, not least in revealing representative immune biomarkers to correctly diagnose TB. The immune profiles of patients can be valuable covariates for model-informed precision dosing-based treatment monitoring, prediction of outcome, and the optimal dose prediction of anti-TB drugs.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare and offers new tools in clinical research, personalized medicine, and medical diagnostics. Thyroid function tests represent an important asset for physicians in the diagnosis and monitoring of pathologies. Artificial intelligence tools can clearly assist physicians and specialists in laboratory medicine to optimize test prescription, tests interpretation, decision making, process optimization, and assay design. Our article is reviewing several of these aspects. As thyroid AI models rely on large data sets, which often requires distributed learning from multi-center contributions, this article also briefly discusses this issue.

Abstract
Ticks and tick-borne diseases such as babesiosis, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever pose a significant threat to animal and human health. Tick-borne diseases cause billions of dollars of losses to livestock farmers annually. These losses are partially attributed to the lack of sensitive, robust, cost effective and efficient diagnostic approaches that could detect the infectious pathogen at the early stages of illness. The modern nucleic acid-based multiplex diagnostic approaches have been developed in human medicine but are still absent in veterinary medicine. These powerful assays can screen 384 patient samples at one time, simultaneously detect numerous infectious pathogens in each test sample and provide the diagnostic answer in a few hours. Development, commercialization, and wide use of such high throughput multiplex molecular assays in the cattle tick-borne disease surveillance will help in early detection and control of infectious pathogens in the animal reservoir before community spread and spillover to humans. Such approaches in veterinary medicine will save animal life, prevent billions of dollars of economic loss to cattle herders and reduce unwanted stress to both human and animal health care systems. This literature review provides recent updates on molecular diagnostics of tick-borne pathogens and discusses the importance of modern nucleic acid high throughput multiplex diagnostic approaches in the prevention of tick-borne infection to livestock.
