Long-Term Results of Obturator Bypass.

Objective: We evaluated the long-term outcomes of obturator bypass.

Material And Methods: A total of 16 patients (13 males and 3 females; 17 limbs) who underwent obturator bypass surgery at our department between April 1995 and March 2008 were included.

Results: Their ages ranged from 50 to 90 with a mean of 74 years.

A smart DNA sensing system for detecting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using modified nanoparticle probes.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired infections. To prevent epidemics, a quick and simple detection method is required. In this study, we developed a novel electrochemical DNA detection method that does not rely upon polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and may be used in point-of-care facilities.
