Purpose: The article presents a design and development of a generic assistive system to establish an independent conversation-platform for hearing-speech impaired and visually impaired persons.

Materials: The developed software system is accomplished through programming using python and html.

Methods: Considering the constraints associated to the above mentioned impairments, the system implements both speech-to-text/gesture and text/gesture-to-speech conversion in its operation. Read More

Vertebrates need oxygen to survive. The central nervous system has an especially high energy demand, so brain and retinal neurons quickly die in anoxia. But fish of the genus Carassius are exceptionally anoxia-tolerant: the crucian carp (C. Read More

Visual one-step simultaneous detection of low-abundance methylation is a crucial challenge in early cancer diagnosis in a simple manner. Through the design of a closed split bipolar electrochemistry system (BE), detection of promoter methylation of tumor suppressor genes in papillary thyroid cancer, and , was achieved using electrochemiluminescence. For this purpose, electrochemiluminescence of luminol loaded into the [email protected] and gold nanorod-functionalized graphite-like carbon nitride nanosheet ([email protected] NS), separately, on the anodic and cathodic pole bipolar electrodes (BPEs) in two different chambers of a bipolar cell were recorded on a smartphone camera.

Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is heritable, and younger siblings of ASD probands are at higher likelihood of developing ASD themselves. Prospective MRI studies of siblings report that atypical brain development precedes ASD diagnosis, although the link between brain maturation and genetic factors is unclear. Given that familial recurrence of ASD is predicted by higher levels of ASD traits in the proband, the authors investigated associations between proband ASD traits and brain development among younger siblings.
