Evaluation of patient dose during a digital breast tomosynthesis.

Introduction: When the patient dose in mammography is assessed, it is important to evaluate both average glandular dose (AGD) and entrance surface dose (ESD). A dose survey on both AGD and ESD in mammography has never been studied in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the patient dose received during a full-field digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) examination by determining both AGD and ESD.

Occurrence of Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance Determinants in Isolated from Marine Food Fish Cultured in Korea.

is a significant cause of infection in both marine animals and humans. It has been reported frequently in seafood-borne infections worldwide. This study was conducted to determine the potential health impact of the isolated from marine food fish cultured in Korea concerning their virulence and antimicrobial resistance.

Virulence and antimicrobial resistance potential of Aeromonas spp. associated with shellfish.

Aeromonas spp. are associated with seafood-related outbreaks worldwide. In seafood industry, shellfish play a major role in global seafood production.

First Serological Study Revealing High Humoral Response and Evidence for Antigenic Heterogeneity in Induced CL in Sri Lanka.

Posing a threat to the ongoing leishmaniasis elimination efforts in the Indian subcontinent, -induced cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has been recently reported in many countries. Sri Lanka reports a large focus of human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by usually visceralizing parasite. Enhanced case detection, early treatment, and in-depth understanding of sequalae are required to contain the spread of disease.

Prevalidation of an ELISA for Detection of a New Clinical Entity: -Induced Cutaneous Leishmaniasis.

Human leishmaniasis which is considered a neglected tropical parasitic disease presents in three main clinical forms (i.e., cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL), and visceral leishmaniasis (VL)) that are mainly determined by its causative species.
