Voice assistants play an important role in facilitating human–machine interactions and have been widely used in audio consumer electronic products.However, it has been shown that they are susceptible to inaudible attacks in which the malicious signals are in the ultrasound regime and cannot be heard by human ears.In this study, we show that
Circulating tumour DNA in the evolving treatment landscape of locally advanced rectal cancer: where does it fit in?
The management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) requires multimodality treatment, typically with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by total mesorectal excision.However, the treatment landscape is rapidly evolving with total neoadjuvant therapy and non-operative management for Pots selected patients emerging as other novel treatme
Development of a sensitive, quantitative assay with broad subtype specificity for detection of total HIV-1 nucleic acids in plasma and PBMC
Abstract An LTR-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was modified and optimized for the quantification of total HIV-1 nucleic acids in plasma and PBMC.TaqMan qPCR primers and probes were designed against the NCBI/LANL HIV-1 compendium database by analyzing sequences used in assays for sensitive cross-clade detection of HIV-1 as reported in the liter
