A novel precision-serology assay for SARS-CoV-2 infection based on linear B-cell epitopes of Spike protein

The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the need for serology diagnostics with improved accuracy. While conventional serology based on recognition of entire proteins or subunits thereof has made significant contribution to the antibody assessment space, it often suffers from sub-optimal specificity. Epitope-based, high-precision, serology assays hold potential to capture the high specificity and diversity of the immune system, hence circumventing the cross-reactivity with closely related microbial antigens. 

Western Australia remote aeromedical substance use disorders outcomes

Substance use disorders (SUDs) cause significant harm to regional Australians, who are more likely to misuse alcohol and other drugs (AODs) and encounter difficulty in accessing treatment services. The primary aims of this study were to describe the demographics of patients aeromedically retrieved from regional locations and compare hospital outcomes with a metropolitan-based cohort.

Planning opportunities for uptime

Embrace the potential of children with Rett Syndrome by exploring how to plan opportunities for uptime, maximizing their engagement and participation in meaningful activities.

Toolkit of uptime strategies

Learn about a practical toolkit of strategies to maximize uptime for children with Rett Syndrome, promoting engagement and facilitating meaningful activities.

Behavior and mutation type

We also wanted to find out whether any particular behaviours were associated with any specific mutation types.

Altered attainment of developmental milestones

Regression, including the loss of previously learned skills, such as hand function and communication skills, is one of the most suggestive features of Rett synd

Investigating genotype - phenotype relationships in Rett syndrome using an international database

This study used information from international Rett syndrome database to investigate the relationship between clinical characteristics and different mutations.

Refining the phenotype of common mutations

Using information from the Australian Rett Syndrome database, we coded symptoms according to severity scales and grouped by type and location of mutation.

Updating the profile of C-terminal MECP2 deletions

Therefore, we wanted to compare the features of girls and women with a C-terminal deletion with those with other MECP2 mutations.

Validating the Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale

Our study investigated the quality of measurements obtained using the Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale.
