Development of a rapid, one-step-visual method to detect Salmonella based on IC-LAMP method

Background: Salmonella can cause serious human gastroenteritis and is frequently isolated from various food samples. The cell culturing, immunoassay, and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) are the current methods to detect such pathogenic agents. However, these methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and thus unavailable for rapid-monitoring of Salmonella</em...

The Effect of the Special Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention on the Commitment to Exercise and Adherence to the Exercise Routine

Background. Although most people are aware of the advantages of physical exercise, they fail to adhere to a regular routine of exercise, which necessitates this intervention. Objectives. In this study, by controlling the moderating role of the variable of commitment to exercise, the effect of a special cognitive-behavioral intervention on the commitment and adherence to an exercise routine has...

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing to detect chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in patients with normal echocardiography.

BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious complication of pulmonary embolism (PE). Taking into account the reported incidence of CTEPH after acute PE, the number of patients with undiagnosed CTEPH may be high. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine if cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) could serve as complementary tool in the diagnosis of CTEPH and can detec...

do patients with penetrating abdominal stab wounds require laparotomy?

background the optimal management of hemodynamically stable asymptomatic patients with anterior abdominal stab wounds (aasws) remains controversial. the goal is to identify and treat injuries in a safe cost-effective manner. common evaluation strategies are local wound exploration (lwe), diagnostic peritoneal lavage (dpl), serial clinical assessment (scas) and computed tomography (ct) imaging. ...
