Background: Over the past decade, saliva-based liquid biopsies have emerged as promising tools for the early diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of cancer, particularly in high-risk populations. However, challenges persist because of low concentrations and variable modifications of biomarkers linked to tumor development when compared to normal salivary components.
Methods: This study explores the application of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)-based thermal liquid biopsy (TLB) for analyzing saliva and blood plasma samples from head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.

Purpose: The skin has evolved a system to prevent pathogenic microorganism colonization and infection. This study examined the role of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) and skin pH on () growth and colonization on the human stratum corneum (SC).
Study Population And Methods: A survey study with 82 female participants was performed.

The effect of Lifshitz transition on thermodynamics and superconductivity in hole-doped cuprates has been heavily debated but remains an open question. In particular, an observed peak of electronic specific heat is proposed to originate from fluctuations of a putative quantum critical point (e.g.

Isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) is a common and powerful tool in thermodynamics and related fields, and the connection between the solution behavior and raw titration curve is complex, important, and worth studying, so we try to discuss this problem using a complex solid-solid-liquid diagram. Although there are many experimental methods for studying ternary phase diagrams, ITC has been proven to be a simple, universal method at normal temperature and pressure. This method can be extended to investigate phase diagrams of multisalt aqueous solutions and related systems.

Silicon (Si) is a promising high-capacity material for lithium-ion batteries; however, its limited reversibility hinders commercial adoption. Approaches such as particle and crystallite size reduction, introduction of conductive carbon, and use of different electrolyte solvents have been explored to overcome these electrochemical limitations. Herein, operando isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) is used to probe the influence of silicon particle size, electrode composition, and electrolyte additives fluoroethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate on the heat flow during silicon lithiation.
