and analysis. In this work, results could be obtained after only 2 min. It was claimed that the compact, portable POC device was suitable for non-professionals to use. Recently, a POC medical system based on a smartphone was developed that could detecturic acid(UA) levels in whole blood ...
In summary, biomonitoring and adductomics should be used on a carefully selected small number of people that are monitored through the years as sentinels for exposure to xenobiotics. A more complete evaluation of exposure will be more effective using computer models, wastewater, water, air, and fo...
A branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, the Hering nerve, carries impulses from the carotid baroreceptors, and small vagal branches carry impulses from the aortic barorecep‑ tors. These afferent signals converge centrally within the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of the medulla oblongata. The...
To make a reasonably fast computation over various parameters, we keep the geometry rather small. It is shown that the discrete nature of the cell motion significantly affects the flow physics in micro- vascular stenosis. This has an apparently different physiological consequence than in macrovascular...
With this small-scale blood sample, microchannel size is also limited. Due to this limitation, many hydrodynamic methods cannot have full effects on the plasma separation, such as the Dean vortex effect is limited by the low flow rate and low Reynolds number of the blood flow. A short ...
DBS bioactivity is due to the high content of proanthocyanidins (>90% dry weight of the resin), but also to its content in taspine, catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin, and a small percentage of terpene compounds [11,12]. The interest in DBS relies on the high content of polyphenols, ...
We found that only a small percentage (≤1.0%) of tentacle cnidae discharge during a sting event using an ex vivo tissue model which elicits spontaneous stinging from live cnidarian tentacles. We then tested a variety of rinse solutions on both Atlantic and Pacific Physalia species to determine ...
The RNA interference technique includes small interfering RNA (siRNA) and short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Zhao et al. used this technique on an orthotopic C6 glioma rat model with NGR-conjugated shBirc5-loaded liposome attached to microbubbles. Birc5 is a protein in the family of apoptosis ...
For that matter, several recently published works have shown this potential, in using electrochemistry for simple POC-like applications on a real samples [29] or in studies directly focused on biosensors [30]. In addition, colorimetric determination of GSH in blood volumes as low as 0.5 µL ...
The small sample size may have resulted in a type II statistical error, as a significant difference was seen between the FIV-infected historical group (C4) and the retrovirus uninfected matched controls (C3). C4 had a much higher sample number (n = 21), improving the power of this ...
