Evaluation and Comparison of Laboratory Methods in Diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in 3012 Sputum Samples

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2025.
Correct diagnosis of tuberculosis is crucial for controlling its spread. This study evaluated five diagnostic methods for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in 3012 sputum samples. Xpert‐MTB/RIF showed the highest sensitivity for MTB (79.6%), while combining CapitalBio TB/NTM kit and culture increased sensitivity to ...

Powering Disturb-Free Reconfigurable Computing and Tunable Analog Electronics with Dual-Port Ferroelectric FET [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Single-port ferroelectric FET (FeFET) that performs write and read operations on the same electrical gate prevents its wide application in tunable analog electronics and suffers from read disturb, especially to the high-threshold voltage (VTH) state as the retention energy barrier is reduced by the applied read bias.
