Herein we report a differential array of micelle-solubilized fluorophores for the detection and identification of small nitrated analytes, such as the explosives TNT, tetryl, RDX and HMX. The quenching ability of the analytes can be used to correlate their analyte identity, wherein the quenching patterns generated from the differential array are used in linear discriminant analysis (LDA). LDA results in a well-clustered two-dimensional plot, and a jack-knife analysis of the data suggests that this system can be used to identify unknown samples of analyte with 96 % accuracy and with a detection limit of 19 muM.

Pre-operative diabetes status provides useful information that can help to stratify patients in terms of predicted post-operative OS and DFS.

Surgical telementoring is on the verge of widespread use but industry and surgical societies remain ambivalent about supporting its implementation due to concerns over lack of interest. This study demonstrates interest among rural surgeons. While there are differing opinions regarding compensation of the telementoring, the most common, single interest in the use of surgical telementoring was for learning new techniques or skill sets.
