Study says dogs 97% sensitive at detecting COVID-19 in patientsCompared with reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, dogs can detect COVID-19 infections via scent with high sensitivity (97%)—though lower specificity (91%)—even when patients are asymptomatic, according to a study in PLOS One yesterday.Scientists in Paris collected nasopharyngeal, saliva, and sweat samples (from participants' armpits) from 335 outpatients, 143 of whom had COVID-like symptoms and 192 of whom did not.

Of the 335, 109 patients tested positive for COVID-19 via RT-PCR and 226 tested negative. Of the 109 volunteers with lab-confirmed COVID-19, 78 had symptoms and 31 did not.Trained dogs correctly identified 106 of the 109 COVID-positive patients and 206 of the 226 COVID-negative patients.

That translates to an overall sensitivity of 97% (95% confidence interval [CI], 92% to 99%), which reached 100% (95% CI, 89% to 100%) in asymptomatic patients compared with RT-PCR from nasopharyngeal swabs.

The dogs' specificity was 91% (95% CI, 72% to 91%), reaching 94% (95% CI, 90% to 97%) in asymptomatic patients. That compares with 84% sensitivity and 97% specificity for nasopharyngeal antigen testing.The study authors conclude, "Our results show the excellent sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 detection by dogs using nasopharyngeal RT-PCR as the reference for comparison.

1st-ever robotic finger covered in living skin can move, heal like humans, scientists say

said Professor Shoji Takeuchi, one of the lead authors of the study. The study, which was published in the journal Matter on June 9, explained the process of how scientists grew skin over a robotic base. They had to keep the skin hydrated, however, as the finger could not stay moisturized on its own. The finger is able to bend and stretch and keep its shape just like a regular finger and the skin can even heal if damaged, with the help of a collagen bandage and so long as it’s in liquid, according to the study.
