When operating biomedical equipment and instruments in areas with tropical climate there arises danger of their microbiological damage. All pieces of equipment and instruments that have to meet requirements as to their resistance to the action of moulds are subjected to testing for mould-resistance. The paper sets forth the results of such tests and their analysis. The resistance of the equipment and instruments depends on the physical and chemical properties and on the technology of manufacture of their materials. The results of the analysis of the results obtained served as a background for recommendations as to the use of resistant materials and effecting measures raising their quality. Such measures include the choice of resistent components, biocides, additives and admixtures to materials and coatings.

ConspectusIons are the crucial signaling components for living organisms. In cells, their transportation across pore-forming membrane proteins is vital for regulating physiological functions, such as generating ionic current signals in response to target molecule recognition. This ion transport is affected by confined interactions and local environments within the protein pore.

Eosinophilia is a notable feature in various hematological malignancies, including specific types of leukemias and lymphomas that may occur in the head and neck. In hematologic malignancies, eosinophilia can be primary, driven by genetic abnormalities, or secondary, resulting from cytokine and chemokine production by the neoplastic cells or the tumor microenvironment. This review examines the association between eosinophilia and head and neck hematolymphoid malignancies including Classic Hodgkin lymphoma, T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, mature T and NK-cell lymphomas, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

The overexpression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) protein is specifically related to tumor cell proliferation in breast cancers. Its presence in biological serum samples indicates presence or progression of cancer, becoming a promise biomarker. However, their detection needs a simple and high accuracy platform.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the locking femoral neck plate (LFNP) can be an alternative fixation method to the cannulated screws with a medial buttress plate. For this purpose, we compared biomechanically the LFNP and cannulated screws with or without a medial buttress plate in Pauwels type 3 femoral neck fractures.

Methods: A vertical fracture model was created at an 80-degree angle to the femoral neck in 28 synthetic bone models.

In the pinhole point diffraction interferometer (PPDI), proper alignment between the reflection spot of the tested component and the pinhole is critical to obtain accurate interferograms. At present, adjusting for tilt error requires manual manipulation, and defocus error cannot be corrected. These limitations impede the instrumentation process of PPDI.
