Neonatal Dried Blood Spot Metabolomics Reveals Signatures of Early‐Onset Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

ABSTRACT The etiology of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is poorly understood. We investigated the possible role of early‐life exposures in the pathogenesis of MPN diagnosed among children and young adults in a population‐based case–control study in California. Untargeted meta...

Intra-individual variability of urinary non-persistent chemical concentrations during pregnancy in the ECHO Cohort

Studies of prenatal exposure to non-persistent chemicals often assume biomarker measurements from a single urine sample can represent exposure pregnancy. The validity of this assumption depends on biomarker concentration variability across gestation, which is not well-characteriz...

Rapid and specific identification of emerging Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII using an in-house developed and validated real-time PCR assay

ABSTRACT Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII ( Tm VII) is an emerging dermatophyte, primarily associated with sexual transmission, that causes persistent, painful, and inflammatory skin lesions. Tm VII is part of the T. interdigitale/T. mentagrophytes species complex, which...
