Genome editing tools have greatly facilitated the functional analysis of genes of interest by targeted mutagenesis. Many usable genome editing tools, including different site-specific nucleases and editor databases that allow single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to be introduced at a given site, are now available. These tools can be used to gener...

We present a new technique designed for in situ measurement of pressure and temperature in lubricating films. An innovative methodology has been developed, based on the photoluminescence properties of non-intrusive CdSe-based nanosize sensors (quantum dots). The sensitivity to pressure and temperature of these sensors dispersed in a carrier fluid w...

Patients with COVID-19 have a coagulopathy and high thrombotic risk. In a cohort of 69 intensive care unit (ICU) patients we investigated for evidence of heparin resistance in those that have received therapeutic anticoagulation. 15 of the patients have received therapeutic anticoagulation with either unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low molecular w...

In this work we present an attempt to replace an a posteriori MOOD loop used in a high accurate Finite Volume (FV) scheme by a trained artificial Neural Network (NN). The MOOD loop, by decrementing the reconstruction polynomial degrees, ensures accuracy, essentially non-oscillatory, robustness properties and preserves physical features. Indeed it r...

Mobile applications provide the healthcare industry with a means of connecting with patients in their own home utilizing their own personal mobile devices such as tablets and phones. This allows therapists to monitor the progress of people under their care from a remote location and all with the added benefit that patients are familiar with their o...

Purpose of ReviewSinonasal cancers are a heterogenous group of rare cancers for which histopathological diagnosis can be very challenging and treatment options are limited for advanced disease in particular. Here, we review the candidacy of novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and therapeutic targets for sinonasal cancers.Recent FindingsMole...

Purpose of ReviewTo summarize the state-of-the-art regarding the exercise-regulated endocrine signals that might modulate brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity and/or white adipose tissue (WAT) browning, or through which BAT communicates with other tissues, in humans.Recent FindingsExercise induces WAT browning in rodents by means of a variety of phy...

Primary central nervous system lymphoma is a complex disease with no agreed-upon standard-of-care therapy. Induction therapy involves multiagent chemotherapy based on high-dose methotrexate, with several regimens available. We have a preference for a regimen using rituximab, methotrexate (3.5 g/m2), procarbazine, and vincristine (R-MPV) for initial...

The effect of noise channels (amplitude damping, phase damping, depolarizing and phase flip) on the behaviors of quantum correlations such as quantum discord (QD), super quantum discord (SQD) within an atom-field interaction with environments are investigated. Generation and preservation of the quantum entanglement between the qubit and field have ...

For point-of-care diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), current TB diagnostic approaches need to be further improved for achieving an accurate diagnosis that is rapid and low-cost. This paper presents an immuno-resistive sensor on a plastic film for inexpensive, simple TB screening. The sensor is composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functi...
