What is Oxidative Stress, and How Does it Affect Your Health?
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules with an unequal quantity of electrons. The unequal number enables them to react with other molecules quickly. Free radicals may generate a massive chain of chemical events in your body because they combine so readily with other…
HIV Seroconversion: Symptoms, Tests, and Treatment
Fact: The average risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection after percutaneous exposure to HIV-infected blood is 0.3 percent. Most HIV screening tests are fully automated and any look for antibodies to the virus. Consequently, a test performed before the onset of seroconversion will typically yield a negative result for the presence of the virus…
Monoclonal Antibody Therapy for COVID-19
Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-created proteins that replicate the immune system’s capacity to combat diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2, like other infectious organisms, can change over time, resulting in specific therapies failing to act against particular variations, such as the Omicron. Monoclonal antibodies are medicinal agents being researched to treat COVID-19. These drugs are frequently…
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Molecular Diagnostics
As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads worldwide and develops new mutations, precise diagnostic tools are becoming increasingly important in managing and comprehending the disease’s epidemiology. The influence of COVID-19 on Molecular Diagnostics laboratories testing and research for non-COVID uses has been underappreciated but arguably even more crucial since the pandemic. Lack of equipment, reagent capacity, and…
