CMV Seroconversion Associated with an high Avidity in a Previously Seronegative Pregnant Woman during her first Trimester of Pregnancy

Authored by Quentin Delefortrie

Recently, we observed in our laboratory a CMV seroconversion with the appearance of CMV-specific IgGtogether with an IgM response in a previously seronegative pregnant woman during her first trimester (week 14) of pregnancy (kit used: Liaison® CMV IgGII and IgMII kits,Diasorin®, Italy). Surprisingly, the latest sample displayed high avidity using the Liaison® IgG Avidity II kit (Diasorin®, Italy). Similar results were observed with those samples using the Vidas® CMV IgG, IgM and Avidity kits (biomérieux®, France)

Current Trends in Biomedical Engineering & Biosciences   Juniper Publishers Authored by Saif Ullah* Abstract The present study was conducted with the aim to evaluate sunflower hybrids under agro climatic conditions of district Malakand. A set of 8 sunflower hybrids was evaluated in randomized complete block design having two replications in spring 2014. Each sunflower genotype was sown in five meter long two rows 75cm apart with P-P distance 25cm. Data were recorded on yield and associated traits such as days to flower initiation, days to flower completion, days to maturity, plant height, head diameter, grain yield and 100 grain weight. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the studied traits. The minimum days (80) to flower initiation were observed in Hybrid-14013 while maximum days (85) to flower initiation were observed in Hybrid-14009. Data regarding flower completion showed that Hybrid-14021 took maximum days (95) in flower complet...

Current Trends in Biomedical Engineering & Biosciences   Juniper Publishers Adewale B* Mini Review Onchocerciasis is one of the five diseases referred to as preventive chemotherapy- Neglected Tropical Diseases (PC-NTDs). It affects 37 million people in 31 African countries as well as 3 countries in the Latin America and several areas in Yemen. Nigeria has the highest endemicity among countries responsible for 99% of infection globally. Blindness and severe skin manifestations are two major effects of the disease on affected populations with severe effects on affected communities. The disease is significantly a disease of the poor with economic implications resulting in further impoverishment of affected communities, a challenge to the achievement of SDGs 2 and 3 and national developmental goals. The main strategy for control in endemic countries is by mass ivermectin (Mectizan®) distribution. Mass distribution of ivermectin in Nigeria began in 1991 following su...

How Juniper Publishers Ensures High Editorial Standards

How Juniper Publishers Ensures High Editorial Standards Introduction Maintaining high editorial standards is critical in academic publishing to safeguard research quality and integrity. Juniper Publishers, an open-access publisher, outlines several mechanisms it employs to uphold these standards across its wide range of scientific journals. 1. Rigorous Peer Review System At the core of Juniper Publishers’ editorial process is a double-blind peer review system. This means both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous, reducing bias and promoting objective assessment. Manuscripts undergo evaluation for: Scientific validity Originality and relevance Logical structure and coherence Adherence to the journal’s scope This helps eliminate substandard or non-original work before publication. 2. Qualified Editorial Board Members Juniper relies on an international editorial board consisting of domain experts, researchers, and academicians. Their responsibilities...
