Abstract Because infant formula provides the sole dietary intake for many infants, it is important that the nutrient composition be carefully controlled. Establishing nutrient levels depends on laboratory testing. Current testing methods have certain limitations, some of which can be overcome by modern trends in analytical technology.

Market Success

Washability is seen as one of the main obstacles that stands in the way of a wider market success of e-textile products. So far, there are no standardized methods for wash testing of e-textiles and no protocols to comparably assess the washability of tested products. Thus, different e-textiles that are deemed equally washable by their developers might present with very different ranges of reliability after repeated washing. This paper presents research into current test practices in the absence of e-textile-specific standards. Different testing methods are compared and evaluated and the need for standardized testing, giving e-textile developers the tools to comparably communicate and evaluate their products’ washability, is emphasized.

ABSTRACT Currently available diagnostic tests for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) lack specificity or sensitivity, which has led to guideline recommendations for multistep testing algorithms. Ultrasensitive assays for detection of C. difficile toxins provide measurements of disease-specific markers at very low concentrations. These assays may show improved accuracy compared to that of current testing methods and offer a potential standalone solution for CDI diagnosis, although large studies of clinical performance and accuracy are lacking.

The Waves

The first case of COVID-19 in India was reported on January 30, 2020 [1]. The number of infections rose steeply and preventative measures such as lockdowns were implemented to slow down the spread of the disease. Infections peaked around mid-September the same year and the cases gradually started declining. Following the relaxation of lockdown and the appearance of mutant strains of the virus, a much severe second wave of COVID-19 emerged starting mid-February. For characterization and comparison of both the waves, a SIQR (Susceptible-Infected-Quarantined-Removed) model is used in this paper. The results indicate that a single patient can infect approximately 2.44 individuals in the population. The epidemic doubling time was calculated to be 11.8 days. It is predicted that the actual number of infected patients is grossly underestimated (by a factor of 16) by current testing methods.
