The total values of white blood cells (WBC), the absolute and relative neutrophil counts, neutrophil VCS parameters: MVNe (volume), MCNe (conductivity), and MSNe (light scattering) were studied in 70 patients with recurrent and metastatic cancer of the cervix uteri, by using a LH-500 hematology analyzer (Beckman Coulter). The blood from 35 apparently healthy women served as a control. The magnitude of changes in MVNe and in the intensity of MSNe was found to increase in patients when the level of WBC and the content of neutrophils were elevated. Neutrophil VCS parameters, MVNe and MSNe in particular, may serve as an objective and sensitive indicator of condition severity in cancer patients.

A consistent part of gas sensor research activities aims to improve sensing performances by synthesizing new sensing materials, improving the selection of elements in arrays, and optimizing the feature extraction and classification algorithms. This paper combines most of these aspects to confer selectivity to a low-selectivity sensor by using feature extraction algorithms applied to the sensor response kinetics. Several algorithms were employed to represent the kinetic behavior of the sensor response during the adsorption and desorption phases.

Background & objectives The newer technique using an innovative volume conductivity scatter (VCS) technology is emerging as a surrogate for sepsis diagnosis. The VCS technology offers a more objective method to measure cell volume (V), characterize conductivity (C) and light scatter (S) directly from more than 8,000 white blood cells (WBCs). However, diagnostic performance of VCS parameters in sepsis has not been extensively tested in routine hospital emergency settings.

Objectives: To develop and validate a quantitative model for predicting serosal invasion based on multi-parameters in preoperative dual-energy CT (DECT).
Materials And Methods: A total of 342 LAGC patients who underwent gastrectomy and DECT from six centers were divided into one training cohort (TC), and two validation cohorts (VCs). Dual-phase enhanced DECT-derived iodine concentration (IC), water concentration, and monochromatic attenuation of lesions, along with clinical information, were measured and collected.

Centrifuges provide a fast approach to quantify embolism resistance of xylem in vulnerability curves (VCs). Since embolism formation is assumingly driven by pressure only, spin time is not standardised for flow centrifuge experiments. Here, we explore to what extent embolism resistance could be spin-time dependent, and hypothesise that changes in hydraulic conductivity (Kh) would shift VCs towards higher water potential (Ψ) values over time.
