This paper describes the fabrication and the performance of microfluidic paper-based
electrochemical sensing devices (we call the microfluidic paper-based electrochemical devices, …

Elasticity of cellular microenvironments strongly influences cell motility, phagocytosis,
growth and differentiation. Currently, the relationship between the cell behaviour and matrix …

Bubbling up: Dissolution of CO 2 bubbles in a suspension of colloidal particles chemically
induces the assembly of particles on the surface of shrunken bubbles, and thus yields rapid …

Background Concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (CRT-A) is
often the regimen of choice in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). …

BACKGROUND The Canadian health care system provides equitable access to equivalent
standards of care. The authors investigated to determine whether patients with breast cancer …

There is an increasing effort in the search and characterization of materials that can function
as artificial three-dimensional cellular microenvironments. In particular, the encapsulation of …

We report a new microfluidic strategy for the generation of small (<10 µm) microbubbles
with a narrow size distribution. Our approach has the following features: (i) the generation of …

Background Epithelial growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRis) and bevacizumab (BEV)
are used in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (…

Background Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are among the most commonly
used medical devices in hospital. This study sought to determine the appropriateness of …

Targeted therapy is appropriate for specific cases (eg, N-acetylcysteine for acetaminophen
toxicity5), but treatment is primarily to stop the offending drug. Glucocorticoids are not …
