EXPLORING THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF MOBILE X-RAY IMAGING IN A NEW INFECTIOUS DISEASE BIOCONTAINMENT UNIT: AN IN SITU SIMULATION AND VIDEO-REFLEXIVE STUDY

Exploring the safety and quality of mobile X-ray imaging in a new infectious disease biocontainment unit: an in situ simulation and video-reflexive study

Objectives During a precommissioning inspection of a new biocontainment centre, radiographers noted structural read more features of quarantine rooms that could compromise staff and patient safety and the X-ray image quality, even after significant modifications had been made to an earlier radiography protocol.The aim of this study was to explore t

Computational investigations on target-site searching and recognition mechanisms by thymine DNA glycosylase during DNA repair process

DNA glycosylase, as one member of DNA repair machineries, plays an essential role in correcting mismatched/damaged DNA nucleotides by cleaving the N-glycosidic bond between the sugar and target nucleobase through the base excision repair (BER) pathways.Efficient corrections of these DNA lesions are critical for maintaining genome integrity and prev

Application of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Quantitatively Determine Relative Content of Puccnia striiformis f. sp. tritici DNA in Wheat Leaves in Incubation Period

Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst) coq-clear 100 ubiquinol is a devastating wheat disease worldwide.Potential application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in detection of pathogen amounts in latently Pst-infected wheat leaves was investigated for disease prediction and control.A total of 300 near-infrared spectra were
