State of the art and future research directions of materials science applied to electrochemical biosensor developments.

Centralized laboratories in which analytical processes are automated to enable the analysis of large numbers of samples at relatively low cost are used for analytical testing throughout the world. However, healthcare is changing, partly due to the general recognition that care needs to be more patient-centered and putting the patient at the center of action. One way to achieve this goal is to consider point-of-care testing (PoC) devices as alternative analytical concepts.

Confirmation of Paternity despite Three Genetic Incompatibilities at Chromosome 2.

DNA testing in cases of disputed paternity is a routine analysis carried out in genetic laboratories. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate similarities and differences in analyzed genetic markers between the alleged father, mother, and a child. The existence of differences in the examined loci between the child and the presumed father may indicate the exclusion of biological parenthood.

Radiation therapy in patients with implanted deep brain stimulation.

Background: As deep brain stimulation (DBS) and radiation therapy (RT) have become established treatments for movement disorders and malignancies respectively, patients being treated with both simultaneously are becoming more frequent.

Objectives: Literature regarding the safety of RT in patients with implanted DBS is scarce, and there are no clear guidelines on how to manage them.

Methods: We present a follow-up of two Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with DBS undergoing RT in the context of previous literature.

Influence of animal and plant fat addition in pasture and winter feeding of high yielding cows at first stage of lactation on productivity and physiological profiles.

200 g of fat in the form of greased wheat bran, was given cows during pasture feeding. For winter feeding on hay and silages the amount was 400 g of greased wheat bran or 400 g of oil in ground rapeseed per day and per animal. Influence of the fat addition on the yield and milk composition was observed in the case of pasture experiment.
