The present disclosure provides methods and systems for processing a nucleic acid sample. The present disclosure also provides methods and systems for detecting (e.g., optically detecting) a pathogen in a sample. The methods provided herein may use nucleic acid amplification.

Methods and systems for processing a nucleic acid sample

The present disclosure provides methods for determining the presence or absence of and/or the etiology of an acute respiratory viral infection in a subject, as well as methods of treating the subject based on the determination, by measuring on a platform the expression levels of a pre-defined set of gene products.

Nasopharyngeal protein biomarkers of acute respiratory virus infection and methods of using same

The present disclosure provides methods for determining whether a subject has sepsis, or is at risk of developing sepsis, and methods of treating the subject based on the determination. Also provided are methods for determining an increased risk of mortality in a subject with sepsis or suspected of having sepsis, and methods of treating the subject based on the determination. Systems useful for the same are also provided.

Gene expression signatures useful to predict or diagnose sepsis and methods of using the same

A deodorizer for insertion into athletic and other equipment, having an outer housing that is infused with an antimicrobial agent and that has ventilation holes, and containing a moisture absorbing deodorizer within the outer housing. The deodorizer absorbs moisture that allows bacteria to grow and the antimicrobial infused outer housing kills existing bacteria, thereby reducing bacteria and odor.

Deodorizing glove holder for athletic gloves and other equipment

Disclosed herein are biomarkers useful for identifying and/or classifying bacterial infections in a subject.

Biomarkers for the molecular classification of bacterial infection

Methods of identifying infectious disease infection prior to presentation of symptoms, assays for identifying genomic markers of infectious disease, and methods for diagnosing the underlying etiology of infectious disease.
