Sensing of p53 and egfr biomarkers using high efficiency sers substrates
(MDPI AG, 2015-10-28)In this paper we describe a method for the determination of protein concentration using Surface Enhanced Raman Resonance Scattering (SERRS) immunoassays. We use two different Raman active linkers, 4-aminothiophenol and ... -
Sensing the difference: the influence of anisotropic cues on cell behavior
(Frontiers Media SA, 2015-05-08)From tissue morphogenesis to homeostasis, cells continuously experience and respond to physical, chemical, and biological cues commonly presented in gradients. In this article, we focus our discussion on the importance of ... -
Sensitive surface enhanced raman scattering multiplexed detection of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 7 cancer markers
(The Optical Society, 2015-05-12)A surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based platform was developed for sensitive multiplexed detection of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) (MMP-2 and MMP-7) with low limit of detection and high specificity. Detection ... -
Separable anisotropic differential operators in weighted abstract spaces and applications
(Elsevier BV, 2008-02-01) -
Seq-ing improved gene expression estimates from microarrays using machine learning
(Springer Nature, 2015-09-04)Background: Quantifying gene expression by RNA-Seq has several advantages over microarrays, including greater dynamic range and gene expression estimates on an absolute, rather than a relative scale. Nevertheless, microarrays ... -
Sequential compression biomechanical device in patients with critical limb ischemia and nonreconstructible peripheral vascular disease
(Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01)Objectives: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients who are unsuitable for intervention face the dire prospect of primary amputation. Sequential compression biomechanical device (SCBD) therapy provides a limb salvage option ... -
Series parallel linkages
(Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 2011-07-01)We study spaces of realisations of linkages (weighted graphs) whose underlying graph is a series parallel graph. In particular, we describe an algorithm for determining whether or not such spaces are connected. -
Serotonin and the neural processing of facial emotions in adults with autism
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2012-10-01)Context: People with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have lifelong deficits in social behavior and differences in behavioral as well as neural responses to facial expressions of emotion. The biological basis to this is ... -
Serratus plane block: a novel ultrasound-guided thoracic wall nerve block
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-08-07)We present a novel ultrasound-guided regional anaesthetic technique that may achieve complete paraesthesia of the hemithorax. This technique may be a viable alternative to current regional anaesthetic techniques such as ... -
Sers-based quantitative detection of ovarian cancer prognostic factor haptoglobin
(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2015-03-01)Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is increasingly being used for biosensing because of its high sensitivity and low detection limit, which are made possible by the unique Raman 'fingerprint' spectra from the ... -
Serum vitamin d is significantly inversely associated with disease severity in caucasian adults with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-02-01)Study Objectives: To evaluate vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and possible relationships to OSAS severity, sleepiness, lung function, nocturnal heart rate (HR), and body composition. ... -
Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16s rdna pcr for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight uk and ireland hospitals
(Springer Nature, 2014-06-15)Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range ... -
Service provision and barriers to care for homeless people with mental health problems across 14 european capital cities
(Springer Nature, 2012-07-27)Background: Mental health problems are disproportionately higher amongst homeless people. Many barriers exist for homeless people with mental health problems in accessing treatment yet little research has been done on ... -

Severe pollution in china amplified by atmospheric moisture
(Springer Nature, 2017-11-17)In recent years, severe haze events often occurred in China, causing serious environmental problems. The mechanisms responsible for the haze formation, however, are still not well understood, hindering the forecast and ... -
Sexual counselling for patients with cardiovascular disease: protocol for a pilot study of the charms sexual counselling intervention
(BMJ, 2016-06-01)Introduction Sexual problems are common with cardiovascular disease, and can negatively impact quality of life. To address sexual problems, guidelines have identified the importance of sexual counselling during cardiac ... -
