Non-invasive collection of target cells is crucial for research in biology and medicine. In this work, we combine a thermo-responsive material, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), with an electroactive poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiopene):poly(styrene sulfonate), to generate smart conductive copolymer the label-free non-invasive detection capture release on gold electrodes by electrochemical impedance spe...

Here described is a phenylboronic acid (PBA) based glucose-responsive hydrogel operating under physiological pH and temperature, a material potentially applicable to a totally synthetic smart insulin delivery system to treat diabetes.

This study employs four waves of survey data on 1,135 families from the Illinois Families Study, a longitudinal panel study of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in Illinois. This study explores the following issues within this low-income population: (1) whether material hardships are associated with child protective services (CPS) investigations, (2) whether the effect of material hardshi...

A new functional low molecular-weight gelator (LMWG) based on crown-appended quaterthiophene was synthesized and investigated as a new alkali metal cation responsive material with enhanced fluorescence emission upon gel-to-sol phase transition.

bronchial responsiveness to bronchodilator medications is usually tested to establish reversibility of airflow obstruction. among the various tests to establish bronchodilator response, fev1, fef25-75% or fef50%, and fvc are the most widely used. in a cross-sectional study, we assessed spirometric responses after administration of bronchodilator in 187 workers with obstructive pattern in spirom...

thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia in didmoa (wolfram) syndrome has an autosomal- recessive mode of inheritance . megaloblastic anemia and sideroblastic anemia is accompanied by diabetes insipidus (di), diabetes mellitus (dm) ,optic atrophy (oa) and deafness (d). neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are also present. we report a 7 month old girl with congenital macrocytic anemia a rare clinic...

an adult (two years old) iranian cross-breed ram with alopecia, rough hair coats, thick and wrinkled skin,especially on the face, brisket, scrotum, tail and legs, presented with severe pruritus, poor condition andgeneralized unthriftiness. the animal was referred to the veterinary clinic of shahid bahonar university ofkerman. the vital signs and haematologic indices of the animal were normal. a...
