Analysis of Nuclear Explosion Detection Capability of IMS Hydroacoustic Network by Yan Wang, Wei Tang, Zhehan Liu, Jian Li, Xiaoming Wang, Shiya Zou

“…Findings indicate the network’s proficiency in identifying long-distance propagation signals, particularly those with high explosion source levels within the sound fixing and ranging (SOFAR) channel. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the network’s ability to detect explosions smaller than 1 kg equivalent in close proximity to a station, and larger explosions exceeding 1 kg or 1 ton at greater distances. …”

Preparation and evaluation of Brucella T4SS recombinant proteins in serodiagnosis of human brucellosis based on TMT-based proteomics technology by Qi Wu, Chen Sun, Liping Guo, Yujia Xie, Jinpeng Zhang, Jinpeng Zhang, Dehui Yin, Dehui Yin

“…Recombinant T4SS proteins were prepared, and an indirect ELISA method was established for serological diagnosis of human brucellosis.ResultsSeven T4SS proteins (rVirB3, rVirB4, rVirB9, rBMEII0036, rVirB8, rVirB11, and rVirB10) were expressed used to construct the indirect ELISA method which showed high diagnostic accuracy. Sensitivity and specificity of the proteins exceeded 0.9100 and 0.9167, respectively, demonstrating good performance comparable to traditional LPS and Rose Bengal Ag antigens. …”

Eagle Syndrome - the issue of an elongated styloid process. A literature review by Martyna Brzoza, Bartosz Dubniański, Julia Stawińska-Dudek, Wiktoria Józefowicz, Damian Machaj

“…The state of knowledge: Eagle Syndrome is a condition which manifests either by an elongated styloid process or ossification of the stylohyoid ligaments which interfere with adjacent anatomical structures resulting in many different, often nonspecific, symptoms such as, for example, limited ability of jaw opening, increased salivary flow, foreign body sensation in pharynx as well as tinnitus. However, in majority of cases it is asymptomatic condition and may be detected incidentally during clinical examination. …”
