Excited to share our paper on a fast (<40 min. TAT), cheap (<$6/sample), accessible (no special equipment, sous vides welcome), sensitive (LoD ~25 copies/uL) SARS-CoV-2 LAMP-based #covidtest, published in #OFID doi.org/10.1093/ofid/oā¦. My first š§µ(1/n)
Preface: V. grateful for the collaboration between @mghpathology (Eric Rosenberg, Graham McGrath, Joe Lennerz, John Branda, and š clin micro lab staff), @MassGeneralEM (Benjamin White and šED staff), Harvard Med (@brianrabe6, Connie Cepko) & @NEBiolabs (@nathan_a_tanner) (2/n)

How many patients and percutaneous bone biopsies for diabetic foot osteomyelitis we found in our systematic review?
780 patients with 837 PBBs - that is not much considering a diabetes-related amputation occurs every 30 seconds globally: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16291066/
