Paraffin wax stores energy in the form of latent heat at a nearly constant temperature during melting and releases this solidification. This effect is used industrial storage. At same time, possible deformation even small volumes material as result phase change insufficiently studied. In paper, physical nature such deformation, probably for first studied on example droplet paraffin wax. An unus...

The physical treatment most frequently used for the hands in rheumatoid arthritis is the local paraffinwax bath. It was first described by Humphris (1919) and since then has been in general use. The standard textbooks of physical medicine and rheumatology refer to wax baths as being of value, but we have been unable to find any critical attempt to assess this. It is unusual for a patient with r...

background and objective: formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are a valuable source of dna for molecular studies. we designed and optimized an efficient procedure for dna extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. materials and methods: seventy three blocks of cervical paraffin-embedded tissues were investigated. dna was extracted using 45 minutes boiling in alkaline solutio...
