V.The vision for the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography’s social media efforts is to amplify the impact of the Journal while driving engagement, increasing journal visibility and disseminating content to new audiences globally. Serving as “the front door” to the Journal, this digital evolution represents an important step forward for a…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between PET-CT derived tumour glucose uptake as measured by maximum standard glucose uptake (SUVmax) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG), nutritional risk as measured by the malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST), CT derived body composition as measured by skeletal muscle index (SMI) and…[Read more]

Hafnium nitride (HfN) thin films with low electrical resistivity were obtained by inductively coupled plasma assisted magnetron sputtering as a function of ICP power. Microstructural, crystallographic and sheet resistance characterizations of HfN films were performed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy…[Read more]

e combined contamination of the environment. Antibiotics in estuaries and groundwater generally originated from aquaculture wastewater and untreated/treated domestic sewage. Most of the detected antibiotics posed no risk to the environment. Ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin found in water may present high ecological and resistance risks, while the…[Read more]

Integration of microfluidics and biosensing functionalities on a single device holds promise in continuous health monitoring and disease diagnosis for point-of-care applications. However, the required functions of fluid handling and biomolecular sensing usually arise from different actuation mechanisms. In this work, we demonstrate that a single…[Read more]

Meghalaya, (in India), in the region of the mega-biodiversity hotspots, is home to a plethora of wild mushrooms. The present study concerns the exploration of the order Agaricales, which includes rare gilled mushrooms considered endangered under IUCN A4c criteria, due to the declining habitat. Electron microscopy of the gill sections revealed an…[Read more]

Finally, we established a mass spectrometric method for quantifying the incorporated artificial nucleotide and obtained a linear relationship with the amount of O6-carboxymethyl-guanine in the target sequence. In this work, we present a strategy to identify, locate, and quantify a mutagenic DNA adduct, advancing tools for linking DNA alkylation to…[Read more]

001) and GPPCS (p < 0.0001) and lower ESS (p = 0.004) scores. Those who had knowledge on the facility safety (56.6 %) and risk management (59.2 %) plans had higher scores on KCS, PSCS, GPPCS and FCS, while had lower scores on ESS (p < 0.05 for each).

Our findings revealed association of female gender, co-morbid psychiatric disease, la…[Read more]

5-121.6% and relative standard deviations of 2.5-7.9%. The SERS substrate has high value for rapid analysis of food and biomarker determinations. Schematic illustration of the preparation of AgNPs@HNTs-AuNPs for SERS analysis of adenine in complex sample.Environmental practitioners must understand those they collaborate with to implement programs…[Read more]
