MDPI_Toxins’ Post

In a post yesterday (https://lnkd.in/d8--pucM), I noted that Salvador Macip and I had made available a chapter on Antibiotic Resistance from our book Viurem per sempre?: Com la biomedicina ens està canviant la vida (Will we live forever?: How biomedicine is changing our lives). We also released a second chapter of that book, on ethical issues associated with Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) #GeneticTesting. The chapter is about five years old, but the core issues remain the same. If you’re interested in reading it, the chapter is available here https://lnkd.in/dwGCCJWa It has the same, slightly quirky, format at the previous chapter - except this takes the form of a series of emails exchanged between the principal characters

"Kazanasmaz H, Geter S. Investigation of the Sensitivity and Specificity of Laboratory Tests Used in Differential Diagnosis of Childhood Brucellosis. Cureus. 2020 Jan 23;12(1):e6756. doi: 10.7759/cureus.6756. PMID: 32140324; PMCID: PMC7039374."   In developing countries, where the consumption of unpasteurized milk and milk products is widespread, #brucellosis is common. In the presence of clinical signs, a potential diagnosis of brucellosis should be considered. This evaluation shows that elevated AST, ALT, GGT, #CRP and #ESR results can help in the differential diagnosis of childhood brucellosis. Thanks to the authors for this scientific publication.
