FY23 for #KrsnaaDiagnostics 🎯

Yes YoY will not look exciting , but we all know the reason.

Some observations on this #Diagnostics SMALL Co. which is growing at 35% CAGR 😅( Not just REVENUE but also EBITDA 😀)

No Recommendation. 🙏 Image
You get a sense of the SCALE UP , with just one glance of this data .

31 Mn. in 5 Years Vs. 10Mn. In just FY23 .

Looks like India’s RURAL is getting more DIAGNOSIS done ( Funded by Govt. ) .

#Growth #KrsnaaDiagnostics #FY23 Image
March 2023 will be special for #KrsnaaDiagnostics .

It was a 1200 Cr. Co. then and had bagged a 450 Cr. Deal . That much awaited RAJASTHAN deal ⚡️⚡️

The RAJAasthan deal did turn the Stock Price trajectory too 🍀

Today it’s almost a 1600 Cr. Co. ImageImageImage

Is #LiquidBiopsy the Future of #Cancer #Diagnostics? 💉🧬🤔

1/n🧵
Standard cancer detection tests are done with #tissuebiopsies.🧫

These are invasive, risky, and expensive as they require an endoscope and open surgery.

An alternative approach to this is Liquid Biopsy which is performed by drawing blood.🩸

2/n
Liquid biopsy is an innovative solution to #cancerdetection.

▪️They use a much smaller sample and have a quicker turnaround for results compared to tissue biopsies.

▪️They are more advantageous in detecting a metastasized tumor - when cancer has spread to multiple sites.

Identifying hardware -
An important step in troubleshooting potential hw issues is knowing exactly which hw is present in a system. For virtual systems, this might seem less useful than for a physical system, but it can tell an admin if the correct virtual devices have been added
Identifying CPUs -

The CPU(s) in a running system can be identified with the lscpu command from the util-linux package.

Thread 1 👇

Understanding what Troubleshooting is!

#Linux #diagnostics #troubleshooting #security
What is troubleshooting?

Troubleshooting is the art of taking a problem, gathering information about it, analyzing it, and finally solving it.

While some problems are inherently “harder” than others, the same basic approach can be taken for every problem. PC: https://knowmax.ai/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Troublesho
Not just fixing!

While fixing a problem is one of the major parts of troubleshooting, there are other parts that cannot be neglected: documenting the problem (and fix), and performing a root cause analysis (RCA). PC: https://knowmax.ai/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Troublesho

1/ Happy Friday!
Today I am celebrating #scicomm! As of this week, I have contributed 21 articles to the @ASMicrobiology Bugs & Drugs blog! Here's a recap of some of these articles for those who love clinical #microbiology
#IDTwitter @ASCLS @CUAnschutz #MedEd @JClinMicro
2/ First, just a quick note on writing for @ASMicrobiology. Volunteering my time to write has been one of the highlights of the last 2 yrs for me! So grateful for the amazing Bugs & Drugs team, especially @JulieMarieWolf @JClinMicro @ScienceInTheDMV who took a chance on me.

1/ I loved writing this new @ASMicrobiology article. I talked to Dr. Derick Kimathi (@Toinoti, medical researcher in Kenya), about using fractional doses of yellow fever #vaccine. I hope you find this as interesting as I did #IDtwitter #epitwitter
asm.org/Articles/2021/…
2 / This is a follow up article to the one I wrote back in May that briefly detailed the history of #YellowFever in the United States, and how the development of #diagnostics for the disease as well as modern research stemmed from that #history.
asm.org/Articles/2021/…
3/ The #YellowFever #outbreak that started in Angola in 2015 ravaged major cities like Luanda & Kinshasa, and resulted in 11 imported cases in China - a country that harbors the mosquito that spreads the yellow fever virus and has a population immunologically naïve to YF.

The recent outbreaks of #Zika Virus in #Kerala has renewed interest in this virus. This tweetorial explains some key aspects about the virus and why we should be actively using #genomics for #GeneticEpidemiology Image
The disease in most people is mild. Majority of people infected with Zika virus DO NOT develop symptoms. Symptoms are generally mild including fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache, and usually last for 2–7 days.

Death is RARE
Infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly & congential malformations.
Neurological complications like Guillain-Barré syndrome, neuropathy and myelitis are seen in some.

1/16 THREAD🧵3 years ago I proposed that #Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) is a #ParadigmShift in psychiatry. The paper has been viewed almost 80k times around the globe and sits at the top 1% views/downloads and top 8% citations of the whole @FrontiersIn journal series.
2/16 Published in the special issue “Psychedelic Drug Research in the 21st Century” it has 82 citations at Google Scholar and was included in one slide by Javier Muñiz, from the FDA’s division of psychiatry, at his ISRP lecture in Oct/2019 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

While COVID19 is grabbing world attention, another global public health threat is still rising in the wings - #AMR. By 2050 AMR could cause 10 million deaths if left unchecked. AMR is not new and its history stretches back long before penicillin. whatisbiotechnology.org/index.php/exhi… /1 Image
The first case of drug resistance was noted in 1907 by #PaulEhrlich, when he observed mice infected with Trypanosoma brucei developed resistance with repeated doses of #Salvarsan, the first compound found to have antimicrobial activity. whatisbiotechnology.org/index.php/exhi… /2 Image
Another drug spotted to cause resistance was Optochin, an antimicrobial agent used to treat pneumonia. The first instance of resistance was noted in mice, infected with pneumococcal bacteria, in 1910, and then in humans in 1913. /3 Image

#JPM2021 #LiquidBiopsy notable by their absence, which is more than excusable in these pandemic times: @freenome, Biocartis, Biodesix, Epic Sciences, ArcherDx (not by this name anyway). Worth following developments for them. In my book, worth following #Freenome of the ones here.
Smaller #LiquidBiopsy #Oncology #Diagnostics players also not at #JPM2021 but important in the field: Personalis, Inivata, Exosome Diagnostics, Epigenomics Ag, Personal Genome Diagnostics, Foundation Medicine, Singlera, Cambridge Epigenetix, and Bluestar Genomics.
Now added #BiologicalDynamics to my #LiquidBiopsy list crunchbase.com/organization/b… which displace #Biocept in the #Top30 bit.ly/liqbiop (thanks Kevin Han for the follow).

21 WAYS TO SPIN RESULTS FROM A COVID DIAGNOSTIC TEST ACCURACY (morning thoughts whilst walking the dog - please add others I've missed). I'm putting this out to help us critique the "number theatre" being thrown at us.
#diagnostics #COVID19 @deb_cohen @MHRAgovuk @drhelmac

#1 Use a small sample size (and never report how big it isn’t). Use phrases like"we detected all cases" the test is "100% accurate" without mentioning it is only from 29 samples.
2/22
#2 Talk about the total sample size when interpreting results about sensitivity (especially if you have tested 5000 blood donors to estimate specificity and only 29 to estimate sensitivity)

Thoughts on upcoming #COVID19 #serology tests:
This is actually quite a challenge! (#Diagnostics often involve a lot of complexities). There is a lot of pressure to roll these tests out, but they need to perform well, or we do more harm than good. #MicroRounds (A thread)
WHY we need these soon:
1. Contact tracing.
2. Can be used to test if a vaccine is working during a clinical trial (70 of them ongoing right now, I believe)
3. Inform public policy makers about rate of asymptomatic cases + previous infections/exposures =informed decision making
How is developing a #PCR different than developing a #serology test?
1. #PCR tests detect viral RNA/DNA (in this case RNA) and can be pretty straight-forward in terms of development
2. #Serology relies on knowing about the #SARSCoV2 structure and how the human body responds.

On this week's @ARKInvest newsletter, I'm going to talk about how #synthetic #biology (not reading, but writing DNA) is a crucial (but not widely talked about) part of our ability to rapidly develop tests and treatments for #COVID19. Until then, ask questions and I'll post links.
Synthetic biology (#SynBio) = creating DNA molecules artificially

In this case, it means synthesizing #COVID19 fragments to aid in the design, validation, and quality control of diagnostic tests. It also helps us research different viral strains and potential therapeutics.
First, I want to tackle 'spike-in' controls for validating RT-PCR assays for #COVID19 detection. Detailed write-ups below and then I'll post a summary (or TL;DR)...
