Both are based on conductive poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) polymer. The highly sensitive sensor consists of microfluidic channel filled PEDOT:PSS in Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. shows 3 order ( <sub xmlns:mml="http://w...

Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a rare hair follicle disorder that develops in immunosuppressed patients and associated with productive infection by the TSPyV polyomavirus. Affected follicles contain an attenuated matrix, expanded compartment of aberrantly proliferating inner root sheath (IRS)-like cells containing viral particles, disorganized mass shaft-like cells. The expression early regi...

BACKGROUND Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices are becoming more and more essential for patient safety in hospitals. The purpose of this study was to determine patient safety, data reliability and signal loss wearing on skin RFID devices during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning. METHODS Sixty RFID tags of the type I-Code SLI, 13.56 MHz, ISO 18000...

fatty liver is a metabolic disorder of dairy cows in early lactation, and approximately half of multi-parous dairy cows experience a moderate to severe fatty liver at calving. since the occurrence of fatty liver in buffalo is not known, the aim of this study was to evaluate the hepatic content of triacylglycerols (tag) and total lipids (tl), and the serum content of non-esterified fatty acids (...
