Laser-Assisted Structures for Efficient Fluid Management on Stainless Steel Surfaces.

The article presents a high-productivity laser-structuring method combined with a hydrophobic post-treatment to create zone-structured surfaces with a decreasing wetting angle on AISI 304 stainless steel surfaces. We have investigated the impact of laser processing modes and hydrophobic substances on wetting and hysteresis angles and successfully demonstrated autonomous droplet movement over this zone-structured surface. A critical condition for autonomous fluid flow is the need for the drop to touch the boundary between the two zones.

Comparison of the Efficiency of Hyperspectral and Pulse Amplitude Modulation Imaging Methods in Pre-Symptomatic Virus Detection in Tobacco Plants.

Early detection of pathogens can significantly reduce yield losses and improve the quality of agricultural products. This study compares the efficiency of hyperspectral (HS) imaging and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) fluorometry to detect pathogens in plants. Reflectance spectra, normalized indices, and fluorescence parameters were studied in healthy and infected areas of leaves.

[Morphological characteristics of renal changes in Fabry disease].

Unlabelled: Fabry disease is an X-linked progressive lysosomal disease caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A and leads to the intracellular accumulation of globotriazylceramide (GL-3). Kidney damage manifested itself as microproteinuria and microalbuminuria, followed by renal failure, is fatal to a patient.

Material And Methods: Fabry disease was diagnosed in 5 out of 600 cases of various kidney diseases, by using the 2014-2018 material.

A survey among physicians in surgery and anesthesiology departments after the first surge of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Germany : Preparing for further challenges ahead.

Background: The SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic has extensively challenged healthcare systems all over the world. Many elective operations were postponed or cancelled, changing priorities and workflows in surgery departments.

Aims: The primary aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the workload and psychosocial burden of surgeons and anesthesiologists, working in German hospitals during the first wave of SARS-CoV‑2 infections in 2020.
