Direct analysis of textile dyes from trace fibers by automated microfluidics extraction system coupled with Q-TOF mass spectrometer for forensic applications.

Textile fiber is a common form of transferable trace evidence at the crime scene. Different techniques such as microscopy or spectroscopy are currently being used for trace fiber analysis. Dye characterization in trace fiber adds an important molecular specificity during the analysis.

Radiation recall reaction induced by levofloxacin.

We present a case of a 55-year-old female with breast cancer who developed radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) 3 years later after administration of levofloxacin. A vast majority of cases occur after administration of chemotherapeutic medications; however, a review of literature implicates increasing numbers of nonchemotherapeutic agents and supplements in RRD. Although the pathophysiology of RRD has yet to be elucidated, the implication of more nonchemotherapeutic agents may favor a drug hypersensitivity etiology.
