The increased demand for consuming seafood has made seafood production undergo a rapid period of growth. However, seafood has a high risk of contamination from harmful microorganisms and marine toxins which can cause health problems for humans consuming it. Concerning this issue, monitoring seafood safety has become a center of attention for researchers, and developing effective methods for detecting contamination in seafood has become a critical research field.

Wearable biosensors are a fast-evolving topic at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and personalized medicine. These sensors, which are frequently integrated into clothes and accessories or directly applied to the skin, provide continuous, real-time monitoring of physiological and biochemical parameters such as heart rate, glucose levels, and hydration status. Recent breakthroughs in downsizing, materials science, and wireless communication have greatly improved the functionality, comfort, and accessibility of wearable biosensors.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of splenic artery embolization (SAE) as a treatment for esophageal variceal bleeding caused by portal hypertension (PH), focusing on its efficacy, safety, and overall role in managing this condition.
  • - A systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 studies involving 531 patients found significant reductions in variceal bleeding after SAE, with 26% achieving complete resolution of varices and 78% showing improvement.
  • - The findings indicate that SAE is a safe procedure with low complication rates, effectively increasing platelet counts and reducing bleeding in patients with variceal bleeding due to PH.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the gold standard for molecular diagnoses due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. However, conventional PCR exhibits limitations including extended analysis time and complicated sample treatment. To shorten the analysis time of standard three-step PCR, we employed a two-step PCR allowing for fast amplification of nucleic acid in a chip format.
