New method to study the repellent, irritant and toxic effects on Anopheles gambiae. Application on 20 essential oils [PDF]

, 2012
Laboratory and field studies showed that repellent and irritant actions of common public health insecticides reduce the man-vector contact and so interrupt the disease transmission particularly when use with long lasting treated bednets.

Superhydrophobic Blood‐Repellent Surfaces [PDF]

Advanced Materials, 2018
AbstractSuperhydrophobic surfaces repel water and, in some cases, other liquids as well. The repellency is caused by topographical features at the nano‐/microscale and low surface energy. Blood is a challenging liquid to repel due to its high propensity for activation of intrinsic hemostatic mechanisms, induction of coagulation, and platelet activation

Evidence of Iron Accumulation in Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy: A Potential Novel Disease Mechanism

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this first application of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Source Separation to cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, we uncovered alterations in iron and myelin within lesions and normal appearing white matter. As validation, we demonstrate abnormal iron accumulation in those same compartments within primary brain tissue.

A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.

Enhancing Corrosion Resistance and Mechanical Strength of 3D‐Printed Iron Polylactic Acid for Marine Applications via Laser Surface Texturing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Laser surface texturing significantly improves the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of 3D‐printed iron polylactic acid (Ir‐PLA) for marine applications. Optimal laser parameters reduce corrosion by 80% and enhance tensile strength by 25% and ductility by 15%.

Behavioral response of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to essential oils of Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Dehnh) and their blend in Y-maze olfactometer

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
BackgroundAedes aegypti vectors several important arboviruses including dengue and yellow fever. This vector mosquito is controlled mainly by using synthetic insecticides and repellents.
