Evaluating Systematic and Proportional Bias in Point-of-care Glucose Testing: A Correlation and Bland-Altman Analysis

Background and Aims: Point-of-care testing (POCT) for blood glucose provides rapid results and is widely used in clinical practice; however, concerns remain regarding its accuracy and agreement with laboratory auto-analyser methods. The purpose of this study was to compare glucos...

Metagenomic Profiling of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli Pathotypes Reveals Predominance of Diffusely Adherent and Enteroaggregative Subtypes and Mixed Signatures Among Under-Fives in Tanzania

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is a leading enteric pathogen in children under five in sub-Saharan Africa, yet conventional targeted assays fail to capture mixed virulence signatures or provide quantitative context relative to E. coli carriage. We applied a virulence-aware...

Back to the Future of qEEG: Lifespan Normative Modeling of Spectral Ratios and Functional Indices with Potential Applications to Therapeutic Monitoring

Quantitative EEG (qEEG) provides objective, millisecond-resolution measures of brain dynamics. Despite decades of methodological advances, clinically relevant derived indices-spectral power ratios, cognitive-emotional state markers, and physiological parameters-are typically repo...
