Chlordane Rates High in Insect Control Tests

Virtual ly 32 years ago in the summer of 1B16 a small number of green ajid brown beetles were collected al Riverton, N . J. They were sent to the United States National Museum in Washington where taxonomic experts identified them as the Japanese beetle.

Interference in laboratory tests

Interference in clinical laboratory testing can create discrepancies in test results which can lead to patient harm.  In clinical chemistry, interference is defined as a cause of medically significant difference in the measurand test result due to another component or property of the sample. Interference by endogenous and exogenous substances with assays for clinical analytes is a common prob...

Laboratory tests for oxidative stress

INTRODUCTION Oxidative stress (OS) is considered a significant contributor to male infertility. A number of laboratory techniques have been developed to evaluate oxidative stress in the semen. We review these tests and their current use. METHODS A literature review was performed utilizing the PubMed search engine for articles studying OS etiology and impact on male fertility, and the laborato...

Insect Growth Regulators for Insect Pest Control*

Insecticides with growth regulating properties (IGR) may adversely affect insects by regulating or inhibiting specific biochemical pathways or processes essential for insect growth and development. Some insects exposed to such compounds may die due to abnormal regulation of hormone-mediated cell or organ development. Other insects may die either from a prolonged exposure at the developmental st...
