Abstract

To evaluate the validity, reproducibility, and feasibility of the "Color Vision Evaluation Test" (CVET) for the diagnosis of congenital dyschromatopsia. Prospective, monocentric, sensitivity, and specificity analysis study comparing the CVET with the Farnsworth 15 Hue standard test (15 Hue STF). A total of 155 children from the Paediatric University Hospital of Nice were screened (both eyes) using Ishihara's pseudoisochromatic cards, which allowed dividing them into a dyschromatic group and a control group. All children underwent twice the 15 Hue STF and the CVET with at least 7 days between both series of tests. Patients' mean age was 7.56 ± 3.51 years in the dyschromatic group and 8.92 ± 2.9 years in the control group. At the first evaluation, the sensitivity and specificity were 95.7% and 96.4%, respectively, for the CVET and 75% and 58.9%, respectively, for the 15 Hue STF (P < .001). The reproducibility of the CVET was 100%, whereas that of the 15 Hue STF was 88.4% (P = .01). The mean test explanation duration was 18.8 seconds for the CVET and 17.7 seconds for the 15 Hue STF (P = .3). In the dyschromatic group, the mean duration of the CVET was always significantly longer than that of the 15 Hue STF (P < .001). The children...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
