Feasibility and Implementation of Ex Vivo Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy for Diagnosis of Oral Leukoplakia: Preliminary Study

Diagnostics, 2021
Background: Oral leukoplakia is a potentially malignant lesion with a clinical impression similar to different benign and malignant lesions. Ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy is a developing approach for a rapid “chairside” detection of oral ...

Flecainide induces a sustained countercurrent dependent effect on RyR2 in permeabilized WT ventricular myocytes but not in intact cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Background and purpose: While flecainide is now an accepted treatment for arrhythmias associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), its mechanism of action remains controversial.

Implementation and Optimization of a Dual-confocal Autofocusing System

Sensors, 2020
This paper describes the implementation and optimization of a dual-confocal autofocusing system that can easily describe a real-time position by measuring the response signal (i.e., intensity) of the front and the rear focal points of the system. This is

Biocontrol of Meloidogyne spp. in Solanum lycopersicum using a dual combination of Bacillus strains

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) are obligate plant parasites that constitute a significant pest for agriculture worldwide. They penetrate the plant roots, reducing the uptake of water and nutrients, causing a significant impact on crop yield.
