Validation of a real-time polymerase chain reaction for the detection and quantification of the nucleic acid of from equine clinical samples.

Unlabelled: var (HCF) is a dimorphic fungus that causes epizootic lymphangitis in equids. Current diagnostic approaches, including culture, microscopy, and clinical presentation, lack speed, sensitivity, and specificity when diagnosing clinical cases. In this study, equine blood and pus samples on Whatman FTA cards from Senegal ( = 3), The Gambia ( = 19), Ethiopia ( = 16), and Mali ( = 13) were tested using a real-time PCR (qPCR) protocol.

Electrolyte-Gated Organic Field-Effect Transistors for Quantitative Monitoring of the Molecular Dynamics of Crystallization at the Solid-Liquid Interface.

Quantitative measurements of molecular dynamics at the solid-liquid interface are of crucial importance in a wide range of fields, such as heterogeneous catalysis, energy storage, nanofluidics, biosensing, and crystallization. In particular, the molecular dynamics associated with nucleation and crystal growth is very challenging to study because of the poor sensitivity or limited spatial/temporal resolution of the most widely used analytical techniques. We demonstrate that electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors (EGOFETs) are able to monitor in real-time the crystallization process in an evaporating droplet.

Real-time monitoring of crystallization from solution by using an interdigitated array electrode sensor.

Monitoring crystallization events in real-time is challenging but crucial for understanding the molecular dynamics associated with nucleation and crystal growth, some of nature's most ubiquitous phenomena. Recent observations have suggested that the traditional nucleation model, which describes the nucleus having already the final crystal structure, may not be valid. It appears that the molecular assembly can range during nucleation from crystalline to partially ordered to totally amorphous phases, and can change its structure during the crystallization process.

[A case study of galen aneurysmal malformation in Bamako].

Galen aneurysmal malformation is a rare complex congenital vascular malformation of the brain, (less than 1% of intracranial arteriovenous malformations) characterized by pseudoaneurismal dilation of Galen's ampulla associated with one or several arteriovenous fistulas. In most cases, diagnosis is made in the neonatal or postnatal period, exceptionally in adulthood. We report the case of an 18-year male patient hospitalized for psychomotor retardation.

[Kartagener's syndrome found incidentally during assessment of infertile couple: a case study].

Kartagener's syndrome is a rare primitive ciliary dyskinesia (DCP) characterized by a clinical triad: sinusitis, bronchiectasis and complete or incomplete situs inversus. It is a rare congenital autosomal recessive disease. We report a case of Kartagener syndrome in an infertile couple with akinospermia detected using spermogram.

[Cyclopia: a rare form of facial expression in a reference health center in Bamako about a case].

Cyclopia also called "cyclopia" is a rare genetic malformation. It is the most severe form of alobaric holoprosencephaly. It is a rare form of hypotelorism characterized by the fusion of the two orbits and the presence of a single eye in the middle of the forehead hence its name.

Gas Blow Coating: A Deposition Technique To Control the Crystal Morphology in Thin Films of Organic Semiconductors.

Rapid, large-scale, and low-cost coating methods that enable precise control of the crystal growth of organic semiconductors are essential to deliver high-performance devices that are robust and reproducible. In this work, a novel method is presented based on a gas blow coating technique, enabling the deposition of thin films of organic semiconductors, whose morphology can be optimized by adjusting the deposition parameters. We demonstrate the deposition of aligned single crystals of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) and 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) by gas blow coating and their use as active layers in organic field-effect transistor (OFET) devices.

[Sporadic cerebral cavernous malformation revealed by seizure: case study].

Cerebral cavernous malformation is rare. It can occur sporadically or as a familial autosomal dominant disorder (FCCM). It is characterized by the presence of multiple cavernous malformations of the central nervous system.
