In the Human Genome Project, the most common type of these variations is single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A large number of different SNP typing technologies have been developed in recent years. Enhancement and innovation for genotyping technologies are currently in progress. We described a rapid and effective method based on real time fluorescence quenching for SNP detection. The new method, Quenching-PCR, offering a single base extension method fully integrated with PCR which used a probe with quencher to eliminate fluorophor of the terminal base according to dideoxy sequencing method. In this platform, dideoxy sequencing reaction and obtaining values of real-time fluorescence occur simultaneously. The assay was validated by 106 DNA templates comparing with Sanger's sequencing and TaqMan assay. Compared with the results of DNA sequencing, the results of Quenching-PCR showed a high concordance rate of 93.40%, while the results of TaqMan platform showed a concordance rate of 92.45%, indicating that Quenching PCR and TaqMan assay were similar in accuracy. Therefore, Quenching PCR will be easily applicable and greatly accelerate the role of SNP detection in physiological processes of human health.

Background: Radioactive iodine (RAI) is a common treatment for various thyroid diseases. Previous studies have suggested susceptibility of parathyroid glands to the mutagenic effect of RAI and the development of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We tested the possible link between prior RAI treatment, disease presentation, and treatment outcomes.

The aim was to focus on the main surgical techniques and outcomes for this rare chest wall tumor.
Methods: Patients with solitary plasmacytoma involving a rib, who were operated for diagnostic or treatment purposes between 2018 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Type 1 diabetes is the most common endocrine health condition among youth. Healthcare professionals must consider evidence-based guidelines in managing children and adolescents with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The current study aims to assess the outcomes of implementing clinical guidelines by the American Diabetes Association to manage DKA among pediatrics in an emergency department in Palestine.

A single molecule sensor for several analytes is indeed desired by the scientists around the world due to obvious advantages. In this report we present a new class of Lophine incorporated azo dyes that has capacity of differential colorimetric detection of several metal ions. Interestingly the sensor was found to have pH dependent selective response towards several metals.

The utilization of dual-working-electrode mode of interdigitated array (IDA) electrodes and other two-electrode systems has revolutionized electrochemical detection by enabling the simultaneous and independent detection of two species, accompanied by the exhibition of unique characteristics. In contrast to conventional dual-potential electrodes, such as the rotating ring disk electrodes (RRDE), IDA electrodes demonstrate analogous yet vastly improved performance, characterized by remarkable collection efficiency and sensitivity. Notably, due to the distinctive microscale structure of IDA electrode, the special "feedback" effect makes IDA a unique signal amplifier.
