Sampling of urine for diagnosing urinary tract infection in general practice – First-void or mid-stream urine?

Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care, 2019
Objective: To study 1) whether the accuracy of point-of-care (POC) urine tests (dipstick, phase-contrast microscopy and culture) differs when performed on first-void urine (FVU) compared to mid-stream urine (MSU), and 2) if a delay of analysis up to four

Viscoelasticity‐Induced Controllable Periodic Meso‐Textures of Liquid Crystal Polymers in Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Viscoelasticity‐driven instabilities are harnessed to create tunable, periodic textures in 3D‐printed liquid crystalline polymers. This study illustrates how processing parameters control these spontaneous meso‐scale patterns. These unique structural architectures unlock new possibilities for functional devices, ranging from photonic components to ...

Determining the rate and reasons for specimen rejection among specimens referred for HIV viral load determination through referral linkage to Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, north-central, Ethiopia,2023: Retrospective study

Heliyon
Background: The preanalytical phase encompasses the time between the clinician's test order to the sample being ready for analysis. Of all errors during the laboratory diagnostic process,70 % appeared in the pre-analytical phase. In clinical laboratories,

Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

An Ionic Gelation Powder for Ultrafast Hemostasis and Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An ultrafast ionic gelation‐activated hemostatic powder (AGCL) forms a hydrogel within ≈1 s upon contact with blood‐derived calcium ions. The AGCL powder enables rapid hemorrhage control, strong tissue adhesion, and enhanced healing. The powder's pre‐crosslinked polymer network ensures high blood uptake and stability, offering effective treatment for ...
