Article Synopsis
  • Listeria monocytogenes is a harmful bacterium responsible for listeriosis, often found in ready-to-eat food, making its detection crucial for food safety.
  • The study introduces an innovative, label-free electrochemical immunosensor using a polydopamine-modified zinc molybdate/MXene composite for rapid and effective detection of L. monocytogenes in various food products like milk and seafood.
  • The immunosensor has shown high sensitivity with a low detection limit, good selectivity against other microbes, and impressive stability, suggesting its potential for broader applications in monitoring food safety against multiple pathogens.

The distorted Born iterative (DBI) method is considered to obtain images with high-contrast and resolution. Besides satisfying the Born approximation condition, the frequency-hopping (FH) technique is necessary to gradually update the sound contrast from the first iteration and progress to the actual sound contrast of the imaged object in subsequent iterations. Inspired by the fact that the higher the frequency, the higher the resolution.

Computed tomography (CT) scans are widely used to diagnose lung conditions due to their ability to provide a detailed overview of the body's respiratory system. Despite its popularity, visual examination of CT scan images can lead to misinterpretations that impede a timely diagnosis. Utilizing technology to evaluate images for disease detection is also a challenge.
