tb gold test :: Article Creator Scientists Develop A TB Test & Find A Genetic Vulnerability In Resistant Strains A rapid diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB) has been approved for the first time by the World Health Organization (WHO). The assay can identify the tuberculosis-causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples within a few hours. Tuberculosis is a primary cause of death by infectious disease worldwide. The disease is estimated to kill over one million people every year, and is a huge socio-economic burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. "High-quality diagnostic tests are the cornerstone of effective TB care and prevention," said Dr. Rogerio Gaspar, WHO Director for Regulation and Prequalification. "Prequalification paves the way for equitable access to cutting-edge technologies, empowering countries to address the dual burden of TB and drug-resistant TB."  M. Tuberculosis c...

McComb unable to overcome slow start against East Marion - McComb Enterprise Journal

Slow starts has seemed to plague McComb recently and Saturday was no different as the Tigers struggled to get their offense set while trying to slow down a stellar East Marion Eagle squad in a 59-43 loss on Day 2 of the McComb Holiday Tournament. 

“The last two nights - slow starts,” McComb Head Coach Karshae Peterson said. “We just come out flat for some reason. Why? I don’t know, and it’s frustrating.” 

The Tigers were held scoreless for the first 5:30 of the ballgame. A Brodrick Thompson basket broke the scoreless drought but it was the only two points McComb was able to score in the first quarter. The Tigers trailed 13-2 heading into the second quarter. 

McComb began to find its stroke early in the second but the Eagles found a flaw in the Tigers’ game and that was their inability to defend the post. East Marion continuously fed the ball inside to 6’8” senior forward John Rawls who scored nine-straight points for the Eagles putting the Tigers behind 31-17 at the half. 

After getting into some early foul trouble, Javius Moore re-entered the game put the McComb on his back, scoring eight points in the quarter but the Tiger offense continued to struggle as a whole with the only remaining points in the quarter (3) coming from Thompson, who finished the night with 16 points. 

Despite the deficit, McComb continued to fight in the fourth quarter. It was the lone quarter that the Tigers out-scored the Eagles, but it was too late as the visitors claimed the 16-point victory. 

Peterson said that he was frustrated to see his team perform poorly but added that he was glad that it did occurred now and not during district play. “I’d rather it happen now, for learning experience,” he said. “Because district time is when the season really counts.” 

McComb returns to action on Jan 8, when it hosts Raymond to kick off District 6-4A play.

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A...

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition.
