In Situ Visualization of Particle Motions during Wipe Sampling of Explosives and Other Trace Particulate Materials.

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.

Effect of re-use of surface sampling traps on surface structure and collection efficency for trace explosive residues.

In security settings, explosive residues or particles are collected by swiping the object of interest (e.g., luggage or package) with a collection medium, or trap.

Intra-operative cell salvage in urological surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.

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.

Correlation of apparent diffusion coefficient ratio on 3.0 T MRI with prostate cancer Gleason score.

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 of the Urinary Bladder: A Case Report.

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.
