Advancing neutron imaging techniques to highest resolution with fluorescent nuclear track detectors.

Neutron imaging is a nondestructive and noninvasive inspection technique with a wide range of potential applications. However, the fundamentals of this technique still need to be improved, one of which involves achieving micrometer scale or even better resolution, which is a challenging task. Recently, a high-resolution neutron imaging device based on fine-grained nuclear emulsions was developed.

A Rare Case of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Affecting the Pleura.

The majority of cases with tuberculous pleuritis have negative acid-fast bacilli (AFB) on smear microscopy, making the diagnosis difficult. This case report is based on the successful diagnosis and management of an extra-pulmonary (EP) multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patient with a history of lymphoma. Initial tests revealed a right-sided pleural effusion and thickening of the pleura.
