This article presents a novel transmission-only calibration technique for free-space quasi-optical Collections material characterization, based on rotating the sample around its axis to vary the angle of incidence under which the sample is illuminated.In contrast to common time domain approaches, each frequency point is evaluated individually.Thus,

Appendiceal mucinous tumors are rare, with variable malignant potential, and they are usually found incidentally.Clinical symptoms are nonspecific.Rarely, appendiceal mucinous neoplasm causes bowel obstruction and makes diagnosis more difficult.We present a case of an 84-year-old female who came to our emergency department having had abdominal full

A previously described universal parasite diagnostic (nUPDx) based on PCR amplification of the Inner Bowl Support 18S rDNA and deep-amplicon sequencing, can detect human blood parasites with a sensitivity comparable to real-time PCR.To date, the efficacy of this assay has only been assessed on human blood.This study assessed the utility of nUPDx fo
