According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in five people in the U.S. has a STD and the reported cases of syphilis and gonorrhea have been climbing for a decade. Urine specimens have grown in popularity for testing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as they are less invasive than a cervical or urethra swab, and their easy sample collection encourages routine screening. They are ideal for at-home testing, and studies have shown that they are just as effective for screening many STDs, in particular bacterial STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Lyo-Ready™ Direct DNA qPCR and Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Urine mixes and Air-Dryable™ Direct DNA qPCR and Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Urine mixes are designed to deliver fast and highly sensitive amplification, ideal for multiplex screening of STDs. In addition, they are optimized for direct detection from crude urine samples and do not require nucleic acid purification.

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a diverse group of bacteria that are commonly found in the environment, such as in water and soil. While they are related to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB), NTM typically do not cause TB. Instead, they can cause a range of infections in humans, including pulmonary disease, skin and soft tissue infections, lymphadenitis, and disseminated disease in immunocompromised individuals. Pulmonary infections with NTM are becoming increasingly recognized, particularly in individuals with underlying lung disease or compromised immune systems. Diagnosis can be challenging, as NTM pulmonary disease can mimic TB or other respiratory conditions. Treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics, but it can be lengthy and complex. It's important for individuals with symptoms suggestive of NTM infection, such as chronic cough, fatigue, weight loss, and shortness of breath, to seek medical evaluation and appropriate testing. Early detection and treatment are key to managing NTM infections effectively. #NTM #NonTuberculousMycobacteria #LungInfections #PulmonaryHealth #RespiratoryDiseases #HealthAwareness #InfectiousDiseases #MedicalEducation #LungHealth #StayInformed

🔎 Did you know? Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation is linked to various chronic and autoimmune conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. Micro-immunotherapy provides a targeted immunomodulatory approach that can help prevent and manage these reactivations and contribute to improving patient outcomes. ➡️ Learn more more about how micro-immunotherapy can benefit your patients!

In light of my previous contribution in Women's Health I am continuing to observe a rise in the diminished effectiveness and duration of Botulinum Toxin type A treatment subsequent to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, or experiencing a recent COVID-19 infection. Recent clinical studies have supported this assertion, but I am interested in conducting additional independent research. Is anyone among my colleagues interested in collaborating on this endeavor? #cliniccalresearch #covid19vaccine #botulinumtoxin #medicalresearch
