CSF Examined for Enteroviral Nervous System Infection

Infections caused by enteroviruses are among the most common infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). Enterovirus infections account for 40-77% of all viral meningitis cases in adults. An infection of the meninges results in an uncharacteristic headache usually accompanied by fever and neck stiffness. More...

Nanopore Method Developed for Genetic Screening

Rapid sequencing of short DNA reads may be useful for a wide range of clinical applications including targeted mutation analysis, cancer-panel testing, and aneuploidy screening. Fast, point-of-care preimplantation genetic screening could improve the success of in vitro fertilization procedures by not requiring embryos to be frozen. More...
