Aquaculture releases nitrogen to the marine environment, potentially changing dynamics of local plankton populations and causing adverse impacts. Metatranscriptomics have been used to study planktonic nutrient cycles and community dynamics. We hypothesised that the metatranscriptome could be used to monitor changing phytoplankton physiology near…Read more

Serial measurement of a large panel of protein biomarkers near the bedside could provide a promising pathway to transform the critical care of acutely ill patients. However, attaining the combination of high sensitivity and multiplexity with a short assay turnaround poses a formidable technological challenge. Here, the authors develop a rapid,…Read more

She was discharged on postoperative day 25 without complications, and no evidence of recurrence occurred more than 3.5 years postoperatively.

All pheochromocytomas have metastatic potential; however, there are no reliable markers to predict malignancy. Early detection of recurrence by regular imaging and complete resection are important in…Read more

Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) technology is a mainstay in the treatment of erectile dysfunction refractory to medical management. Technological advancements in the design of 3-piece IPPs have been improved to optimize concealability and surgical placement since the 1980s. Recent advancements over the past 10 years include pump, reservoir,…Read more

This study reports preparation and physicochemical characterization of natural antimicrobials (Origanum Syriacum essential oil (OSEO), shrimp chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs)) and new imidazolium ionic liquid-supported Zn(II)Salen. These antimicrobials were separately or co-encapsulated by CSNPs to fabricate novel antimicrobial nanoplatforms “NPFs”…Read more
