To assess the presence of adverse pathological features at the time of salvage total laryngectomy (TL) associated with oncologic outcome. Ninety patients with persistent/locally recurrent disease and who subsequently underwent salvage TL after definitive treatment by radiation alone (RTO) or concurrent chemo-radiation (CCRT) from 2009 to 2018 were ...

Resistance of bacteria to multiple antibiotics is a significant health problem; hence, to continually respond to this challenge, different antibacterial agents must be constantly discovered. In this work, fluoroaryl-2,2′-bichalcophene derivatives were chemically synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureu...

Despite the development of pharmacy, there are still incurable diseases for which the medicine has not been found yet. Because many diseases are asymptomatic in their first stage of development, often early detection is the crucial factor in combating them. The article describes the process of synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which can be usefu...

Most viruses that infect plants use RNA to carry their genomic information; timely and robust detection methods are crucial for efficient control of these diverse pathogens. The RNA viruses, potexvirus ( Potexvirus , family Alphaflexiviridae ), potyvirus ( Potyvirus , family Potyviridae ), and tobamovirus ( Tobamovirus , family Virgaviridae ) are a...

Interdigitated (ITD) sensors are specially adapted for the bioimpedance analysis (BIA) of low-volume (microliter scale) biological samples. Impedance spectroscopy is a fast method involving simple and easy biological sample preparation. The geometry of an ITD sensor makes it easier to deposit a sample at the microscopic scale of the electrodes. At ...
