In WHO consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis 2021, Computer-aided detection (CAD) is being recommended for the first time as an alternative to human interpretation of digital chest X-ray (CXR) for TB screening and triage in individuals aged 15 years or older. CAD technology involves using computer algorithms to assist in the interpretation of medical imaging, such as chest X-rays, for TB detection. Evaluations indicates that CAD software programmes are accurate and their performance compares well with human interpretation of CXR for detection of TB disease. CAD systems can analyze large volumes of images rapidly, facilitating mass screening and timely diagnosis and intervention. Moreover, CAD technology can reduce reliance on highly trained medical personnel for interpretation, has the potential to standardize interpretation, reducing intra- and inter-reader variability.

TORCH is an acronym for a group of four infectious diseases that may cause illness in pregnant women and may cause birth defects in their newborns depending on the stage of pregnancy when the mother is infected. The tests are a screen for the presence of any of the antibodies to these infections. Confirmation of an active infection may require more specific tests.

With the onset of winter, there is an increase in acute respiratory infections caused by various respiratory pathogens recently. As in other infectious processes, swift accurate diagnosis is associated with more targeted and effective treatment, lower transmission of the disease and, often, a reduction in its duration. To combat rise of acute respiratory infections, Medlere provides rapid quantitative tests for respiratory infections basing on immunofluorescence technology, which delivers rapid and accurate results within minutes. • RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) • ADV (Adenovirus) • Influenza A/B • SARS-CoV-2 • SARS-CoV-2/InfluenzaA/B • Mycoplasmsa Pneumoniae
