Proximate Composition of Three Commercially Available Marine Dry Fishes (Harpodon nehereus, Johnius dussumieri and Lepturacanthus savala)

Studies on a radio-resistant coccus isolated from Bombay duck (Harpodon nehereus).

Fatty acid composition of commercially available Iranian edible oils

BACKGROUND Trans-fatty acids (TFAs), unsaturated fats with at least one double bond in the Trans configuration, are industrially formed in large quantities when vegetable oils are partially hydrogenated. This study was undertaken to quantify the amounts of the common fatty acids in several commercial oils marketing in Iran. METHODS The most consumed commercially available brands of vegetable ...

Comparison of efficacy of three commercially available antibiotic discs.

A study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of commercially available antimicrobial discs manufactured by Oxoid, UK, HiMedia Laboratories, Mumbai and Span Diagnostics, Surat. The discs were evaluated for their performance on the basis of percentage of coefficient of variation (%CV) which is a measure of reproducibility, mean zone diameters which is a measure of accuracy and range of zone di...

Comparison of three commercially available fit-test methods.

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z88.10, Respirator Fit Testing Methods, includes criteria to evaluate new fit-tests. The standard allows generated aerosol, particle counting, or controlled negative pressure quantitative fit-tests to be used as the reference method to determine acceptability of a new test. This study examined (1) comparability of three Occupational Safety a...

Three-dimensional endoluminal CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy): comparison of three commercially available systems.

OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were to directly compare 3D endoluminal volume rendering and navigational capabilities of three different CT colonography systems and to assess feasibility of 3D evaluation for primary polyp detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Closely matched endoluminal images from three CT colonography software systems (Navigator, Vitrea 2, and V3D-Colon) and optical colono...
