The Importance of Independent, Third-Party Quality Controls
You probably have not put as much thought into the clinical importance of independent, 3rd party quality control as Dr. Sonntag which is why we would like to share this article with you. As pointed out by Dr. Sonntag, ISO15189 states that, “The use of an independent third-party quality control should be considered either in place of or in addition to the quality control materials ...

Quantifying Tissue Properties of the Optic Radiations Using Strategically Acquired Gradient Echo Imaging and Enhancing the Contrast Using Diamagnetic Susceptibility Weighted Imaging
Abstract Visualization of the optic radiations is of clinical importance for diagnosing many diseases and depicting their anatomic structures for neurosurgical interventions. In this study, we quantify proton density, T1, T2*, and susceptibility of the optic radiation fiber bundles in a series of 10 healthy control participants using strategically acquired gradient echo imaging. Furthermore, we ...

Vaccine-induced antibodies target sequestered viral antigens to prevent ocular HSV-1 pathogenesis, preserve vision, and preempt productive neuronal infection
The cornea is essential for vision yet highly sensitive to immune-mediated damage following infection. Generating vaccines that provide sterile immunity against ocular surface pathogens without evoking vision loss is therefore clinically challenging. Here, we tested a prophylactic live-attenuated vaccine against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a widespread human pathogen that can cause ...

Extentrac Elite Case - Case study
Clinical Study Report A practice based prospective study of 31 consecutive patients (21 men, 10 women – mean age 57 years) with low back pain with or without radiculopathy. Each patient completed the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (Ver.2) and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) – pre and post treatment. Disability assessment was based upon an absolute percentage point ...

Regulation of abcg2 expression at the 3` untranslated region of its mrna through modulation of transcript stability and protein translation by a putative microrna in the s1 colon cancer cell line
ABCG2 is recognized as an important efflux transporter in clinical pharmacology and is potentially important in resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. To identify epigenetic mechanisms regulating ABCG2 mRNA expression at its 3' untranslated region (3'UTR), we performed 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends with the S1 parental colon cancer cell line and its drug-resistant ABCG2-overexpressing ...

When Respiratory Pathogen Metagenome Sequencing Meets Hybrid Capture Enrichment
Currently, the incidence of infectious diseases has increased globally, and the pathogens show a trend of diversification and complexity. Rapid and accurate pathogenic diagnosis, which enables early selection of sensitive anti-infective drugs or effective and targeted preventive and control measures, is the core of accurate prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. The epidemic of ...

The Beginner's Guide to Exosome RNA-Seq
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that contain RNA, proteins, and lipids. These vesicles play a crucial role in intercellular communication and have been implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. Exosome RNA-Seq is a powerful technique that can be used to study the RNA content of exosomes and gain insight into their function and regulation. In this guide, we will ...

Forms of technology and effectiveness of infertility clinics
The form of technology adopted by a clinic (long-linked vs. intensive technology) was examined here as a contingency factor in assessing the effectiveness of two infertility clinics. Each clinic used a different medical technique for treatment, reflecting a different form of technology. The relationships of technology forms with clinic effectiveness were explored using a case-study approach. It ...

ELISpot for measuring human immune responses to vaccines
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISpot) assay is one of the most commonly used methods to measure antigen-specific T cells in both mice and humans. Some of the primary reasons for the popularity of the method are that ELISpot is highly quantitative, can measure a broad range of magnitudes of response and is capable of assessing critical cellular immune-related activities such as IFN-g ...

Intraoperative Identification and Monitoring of the Somatic Nerves Critical to Potency Preservation during da Vinci Prostatectomy
Background Since Walsh and Donker first introduced the anatomic nerve-sparing technique for retropubic radical prostatectomy1 (RRP) in the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer, the importance of minimizing damage to the neurovascular bundle (NVB) has been recognized as a critical element for the preservation of potency and urinary continence post-prostatectomy. Although originally ...

Basic Information and Application of Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Alcohol dehydrogenase is abundant in human and animal liver, plant and microbial cells. It is a zinc-containing metalloenzyme with broad substrate specificity. Alcohol dehydrogenase can use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a coenzyme to catalyze the reversible reaction between primary alcohols and aldehydes: CH3CH2OH+ NAD+→ CH3CHO +NADH+ H+. In humans and mammals, alcohol ...
