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

open access: yesScandinavian 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

Cu‐Based MOF/TiO2 Composite Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation and the Role of Copper

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
HKUST‐1/TiO2 composite materials show a very high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate which increases as a function of the irradiation time until reaching a plateau and even surpasses the performance of the 1%Pt/TiO2 material after three photocatalytic cycles.

A Monolithic Micro-Tensile Tester for Investigating Silicon Dioxide Polymorph Micromechanics, Fabricated and Operated Using a Femtosecond Laser

open access: yesMicromachines, 2015
Mechanical testing of materials at the microscales is challenging. It requires delicate procedures not only for producing and handling the specimen to be tested, but also for applying an accurate and controlled force.

Supercompliant Lattice Boosts n‐type AgSbTe2 Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supercompliant lattice design enables the first realization of n‐type electrical transport in AgSbTe2 by overcoming intrinsic electron‐killer defects and exceeding the doping limits imposed by the conventional Hume–Rothery rule. Accordingly, the best performance n‐type Ag0.8Na0.3Sb0.6Bi0.4Te2 sample achieves a low κ of 0.27 W·m−1·K−1 that ...

Optimization of Window Study Endpoints in Endometrial Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
Pre-surgical window studies rely on the accurate quantification of biomarkers as surrogates of disease response. In endometrial cancer, this has traditionally involved comparing immunohistochemical expression in diagnostic endometrial biopsies with the ...

Optical Control of Ferroelectric Imprint in BiFeO3

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Above‐bandgap irradiation at room temperature enables on‐demand optical control of defect‐driven built‐in electric fields in BiFeO₃ thin films, fabricated via scalable, chemical spray pyrolysis. These fields, otherwise “frozen‐in,” can cause severe device degradation, including non‐switchable polarization, dead layers near interfaces, and polarization ...

Development of RNA/DNA automated extraction and purification device for infectious disease diagnosis

open access: yesPractical Laboratory Medicine, 2023
Genetic tests using RNA/DNA are the most accurate for diagnosing infectious diseases and assessing disease susceptibility, including COVID-19. However, manual specimen handling and the risk of secondary infections by medical staff highlight the need for ...
