Combination of Aptamer Amplifier and Antigen-Binding Fragment Probe as a Novel Strategy to Improve Detection Limit of Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor Immunosensors

Detecting proteins at low concentrations in high-ionic-strength Electronic Boards conditions by silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (SiNWFETs) is severely hindered due to the weakened signal, primarily caused by screening effects.In this study, aptamer as a signal amplifier, which has already been reported by our group, is integrated into SiN

Symptomatic intraspinal lumbosacral pseudomeningocele, a late consequence of root avulsion injury secondary to a gunshot wound

Background: Traumatic pseudomeningocele are usually a late consequence of cervical root avulsion injury and its occurrence in lumbosacral region is rare.This pathology is mostly due to violent blunt traumatic events and usually develops outside of the spinal canal.Occasionally, a pseudomeningocele may grow inside of the spinal canal causing delayed
