BACKGROUND Notwithstanding its value, there are challenges and limitations to implementing a dysphagia screening tool from a developed contexts in a developing context. The need for a reliable and valid screening tool for dysphagia that considers context, systemic rules and resources was identified to prevent further medical compromise, optimise dysphagia prognosis and ultimately hasten patient...

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are multifunctional biogenic polymers, which exist in highly diverse chemical structures. To facilitate a fast determination of the carbohydrate composition of novel isolated strains or modified EPS variants a fast screening and analytical method is required. The platform as realized and described in this article is based on the fast carbohydrate analysis via ...

Our aim is to present the importance of mobile Handheld Lung Ultrasound (HLUS) in COVID-19 patients at bedside, which a pre-screening tool with high diagnostic value that can provide triage symptomatic home (pre-hospital), emergency services, Intensive Care Units (ICU). In this context, current role and HLUS bedside pneumonia has been summarized.
