Background and objective Superficial venous surgery for CEAP 2 disease leads to an improvement in disease-specific quality of life (QoL) in the short term. However, which factors influence the magnitude of this improvement, how surgery affects QoL in patients with CEAP 4 to 6 disease, and whether th...

There is currently no widely available optimal assay for diagnosing patients with enteric fever. Here we present a novel assay designed to detect amplified Salmonella nucleic acid (mRNA) using magneto-DNA probes and a miniaturized nuclear magnetic resonance device. We designed primers for genes spec...
