Surface texture tailoring has the potential to increase the effectiveness of dry particle collection wipes, as a wipe's topographical features control the intimate surface contact made with particles on the substrate (critical for van der Waals-governed adhesion). However, texture-tailoring approaches have not yet been widely explored, in part because of a lack of understanding of the specific wipe topographies and wipe/particle interactions that maximize particle collection. Here we describe an in situ optical microscopy technique that enables direct observation of micrometer-scale particle-wipe interactions occurring at the wipe-substrate interface during contact sampling.

- In security settings, explosive residues are collected using swipes on objects like luggage, and analyses are performed for detection of particles.
- This study examines how re-using traps affects the collection efficiency of specific organic explosives (TNT and RDX) and links it to changes in trap morphology.
- Results indicated that re-used Nomex traps showed significant improvements in collection efficiency (11-57%), while Teflon-coated traps showed minimal change, highlighting key considerations for optimizing security detection methods.
Objective: To evaluate systematically the safety and efficacy of intra-operative cell salvage (ICS) in urology.
Methods: A search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library to August 2017 was performed using methods pre-published on PROSPERO. Reporting followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines.
Introduction: The purpose was to investigate the usefulness of ADC on Diffusion MRI to discriminate between benign and malignant lesions of Prostate.
Methods: Images of patients who underwent in-gantry MRI guided prostate lesion biopsy were retrospectively analyzed. Prostate Cancers with 20% or more Gleason score (GS) pattern 3 + 3 = 6 in each core or any volume of higher Gleason score pattern were included.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare but benign clinical entity. Its ability to mimic malignancy poses a diagnostic challenge. Here, we report the first case in Australia, of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the bladder in a 40-year-old male, removed via transurethral resection.
