Treatment of intestinal pythiosis in a dog with a combination of marginal excision, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Case Description: A 1.5-year-old mixed-breed dog was examined because of a 1-month history of anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss.

Clinical Findings: The dog was very thin on physical examination (body condition score, 3/9).

Parasitic myomas after laparoscopic myomectomy: case report.

Objective: To report a case of a woman who presented with parasitic myomas 27 months after laparoscopic myomectomy.

Design: Case report.

Setting: University medical center.

Combinatorial decoding: an approach for universal DNA array fabrication.

A fiber optic microsphere-based oligonucleotide array is described that employs the sequence of the oligonucleotide probe attached to each microsphere as positional identifiers. Each microsphere serves as an immobilized array feature, functionalized with a unique single-stranded oligonucleotide sequence and randomly distributed into an array of microwells. To determine the sequences attached to individual microspheres, a series of fluorescently labeled combinatorial-pooled oligonucleotide target solutions was designed.

Fluorescence-based fibre optic arrays: a universal platform for sensing.

Optical fibres provide a universal sensing platform as they are easily integrated with a multitude of different sensing schemes. Such schemes enable the preparation of a multitude of sensors from relatively straightforward pH sensors, to more complex ones, including artificial olfaction sensors, high-density oligonucleotide arrays, and high-throughput cell-based arrays. Imaging fibre bundles comprised of thousands of fused optical fibres are the basis for an optically connected, individually addressable parallel sensing platform.

High-density, microsphere-based fiber optic DNA microarrays.

A high-density fiber optic DNA microarray has been developed consisting of oligonucleotide-functionalized, 3.1-microm-diameter microspheres randomly distributed on the etched face of an imaging fiber bundle. The fiber bundles are comprised of 6000-50000 fused optical fibers and each fiber terminates with an etched well.

High-density fiber-optic genosensor microsphere array capable of zeptomole detection limits.

The detection limit of a fiber-optic microsensor array was investigated for simultaneous detection of multiple DNA sequences. A random array composed of oligonucleotide-functionalized 3.1-microm-diameter microspheres on the distal face of a 500-microm etched imaging fiber was monitored for binding to fluorescently labeled complementary DNA sequences.
