Decreased Pulmonary Artery Bifurcation Angle: A Novel Imaging Criterion for the Diagnosis of Chronic Pulmonary Thromboembolism.

Background: Chronic pulmonary thromboembolism (CTEPH) is an unusual complication of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), which is now considered to be treatable. In modern multi-detector scanners, a detailed evaluation of pulmonary artery geometry is currently possible. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in pulmonary artery bifurcation angle (PABA) in the follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) of patients with acute PE.

Label-Free Capacitive Biosensor for Detection of .

, an intestinal protozoan pathogen, is one of the leading causes of diarrhea in healthy adults and death in children. Detection of oocysts has become a high priority to prevent potential outbreaks. In this paper, a label-free interdigitated-based capacitive biosensor has been introduced for the detection of oocysts in water samples.
