Fast and User-Friendly Detection of Flatfish Species ( and ) via Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP).

The detection of a Cytochrome gene () for species differentiation in fish is intensively used. A fast alternative to expensive and time-consuming DNA barcoding is loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in combination with efficient readout systems. For this reason, we developed LAMP assays for rapid species detection of and , two economically important flatfish species in Europe that are prone to mislabeling.

Mandibular metastasis of primary extrahepatic biliary carcinoma: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm with a difficult diagnosis and unfavorable prognosis that can appear anywhere in the biliary tree. Anatomically, it can be classified as intra- or extrahepatic, the latter being the most common primary malignancy of the biliary tract. Although bone tissue is the third most common target for metastases in general, metastatic lesions from cholangiocarcinomas are uncommon in the head and neck.

Integrative Analysis of Human Macrophage Inflammatory Response Related to Virulence.

(Mtb), the etiological agent of tuberculosis, kills 1.5 to 1.7 million people every year.

In silico designing of vaccine candidate against Clostridium difficile.

Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming gram-positive bacterium, recognized as the primary cause of antibiotic-associated nosocomial diarrhoea. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has emerged as a major health-associated infection with increased incidence and hospitalization over the years with high mortality rates. Contamination and infection occur after ingestion of vegetative spores, which germinate in the gastro-intestinal tract.

A hospital-to-nursing home transfer process associated with low hospital readmission rates while targeting quality of care, patient safety, and convenience: a 20-year perspective.

Background: Safe patient transfer from hospitals to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) is one of the most logistically challenging safety problems in the US medical system.

Problem: The authors describe a community that experienced inefficient transfers in the 1990s, spurring development of continuous quality improvement (CQI) methods to develop transfer forms and processes to improve efficiency.

Methods: The community established a Geriatric Forum for educational and process improvement purposes.
