In 2017, more than half the cases of typhoid fever worldwide were projected to have occurred in India. absence contemporary population-based data, it is unclear whether declining trends hospitalization for India reflect increased antibiotic treatment or a true reduction infection.
The floating gate, electrolyte-gated transistor (FGT) is a chemical sensing device utilizing gate electrode to physically separate and electronically couple the active area with transistor. FGT platform has yielded promising results for detection of DNA proteins, but questions remain regarding its fundamental operating mechanism.
