Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on enhancing the properties of commercial pure titanium (cp-Ti) for implants by creating Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces using anodic oxidation and physical vapor deposition methods.
- The Zn-deposited surfaces were found to be hydrophobic, unlike the hydrophilic bare titanium surfaces, and exhibited increased corrosion current density due to the biodegradable nature of Zn.
- Additionally, the Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces showed improved cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, and antibacterial properties, making them promising candidates for orthopedic and dental implants.
Background: Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is the most common bacterial cause of acute tonsillopharyngitis. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the performance of a novel Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) method in the rapid diagnosis of GAS in samples taken from children with a prediagnosis of acute bacterial tonsillopharyngitis by comparing it with culture and rapid antigen test (RAT) methods.
Methods: A total of 100 throat swab samples taken from children at the pediatrics outpatient clinic with suspected tonsillopharyngitis were included in the study.
Background/aim: Tuberculosis is still one of the most contagious diseases around the world. Key factors of tuberculosis control are rapid diagnostic, efficient treatment, and prevention of contamination by surveillance and monitoring. However, culture is the gold standard method for laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis; the results are several weeks to obtain.
