Background and Objective: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still an ongoing challenge in health system worldwide. Molecular detection methods including reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) can help cutting off the transmission chain of the virus. In this study, prompt setting up of the RT-LAMP assays were investigated using ge...

Case 1: Mr F, a 75-year-old man with diabetes, was admitted with non–ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome. In addition to other medications, he is receiving 1 mg/kg enoxaparin every 12 hours. He is scheduled for cardiac catheterization later in the afternoon. Earlier this morning, his activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was 30 seconds. How should his anticoagulants be managed? ...

Swipe assays are routinely performed in laboratories and other facilities that use or handle radioactive materials. These assays, often referred to as smear or wipe tests, are performed to comply with radioactive material license requirements, assure laboratory safety, and provide information that proper handling procedures are being followed. Typically, swipes are performed to monitor for the ...

Cellulose is a heterogeneous polysaccharide, and its enzymatic hydrolysis requires endoglucanase, exoglucanase (cellobiohydrolase), and beta-glucosidase to work together. We summarize the most commonly used assays for individual enzymes and cellulase mixture.

the present study is conducted in order to investigate the antioxidant capacity of echinophora platyloba dc (duncan) essential oil (eo), growing wild in west azerbaijan, iran, with four different assays. the aerial parts of echinophora platyloba dc were provided from maraghe city district, northwest of iran and its phytochemicals were determined using gc-ms analysis. in order to evaluate and co...

Background: Oesophageal carcinoma is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Its incidence and mortality rates show a wide geographical variation at a world and regional level. Geographic mapping of age-standardized, cause-specific death rates at a municipal level could be a helpful and powerful tool for providing clues leading to a better understanding of its aetiology. Methods: This study s...
