SPLITTSTOESSER, D. F. (Cornell University, Geneva, N. Y.), R. WRIGHT, AND G. J. HUCKER. Studies on media for enumerating enterococci in frozen vegetables. Appl. Microbiol. 9:303-308. 1961.-A study was made of the relative sensitivity and specificity of presumptive and confirmatory media for the most probable number enumeration of enterococci in frozen vegetables. Azide dextrose broth yielded th...

Human milk provides the best nutrition for newborn. Nowadays, more and women choose to collect freeze their own later use. However, there has been no consensus on freezing conditions standard criteria thawing. This study aimed evaluate effect of different freeze-thaw processes (frozen at −18 °C −60 30 d, followed by placing in air 4 10-h stationary, 25 1-h stationary shaking tepid water 45 1 mi...

The study objectives were to evaluate (1) the effect of thawing unfermented whole-plant corn (WPC; Exp. 1) on fermentation capacity after several months of frozen storage, and (2) the effect of temperature on fermentation profile of thawed high-moisture corn (HMC; Exp. 2) stored frozen for a longer period and then fermented at 2 ambient temperatures. Unfermented WPC and HMC samples were obtaine...

In this study, the effect of varying dietary vitamin E levels on the oxidative stability, flavor, color, and volatile profiles of refrigerated and frozen turkey breast meat was examined. Nicholas turkey toms were reared on diets containing vitamin E levels as dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate equivalent to the NRC recommendations (12 and 10 IU/kg from 0 to 8 and 9 to 18 wk, respectively) and 5x, 10x,...

background and objectives: thyroid gland because of its superficial location is amenable to direct physical examination. clinical assessment of thyroid lesions by means of physical examination, thyroid scans and ultrasonography is not completely reliable. fine needle aspiration cytology (fnac) is the most cost-effective, safe and an initial diagnostic test in the pre-operative evaluation of thy...

Background and objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy and pitfalls of frozen section in ovarian tumors in one of the largest university affiliated gynecologic oncology centers in Tehran, and determine the cause of discrepancies. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the results of frozen section and permanent diagnoses of ovarian masses by reviewing the reports in the dep...

  The effect of gamma radiation (1, 3 and 5 kGy) on microbial quality of farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets which were stored under frozen conditions (-20° C) was studied by measuring microbiological changes in 5 months. Gamma irradiation and increasing of frozen storage time had significant effects (P<0.05) on the reduction of microorganism's population. The total count showed ...

Background:The diagnostic accuracy of frozen section as an important source of information in surgical pathology is important not only in the management of surgical patients but also as a measure of quality control in surgical pathology. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of frozen sections over a 6-year period in a teaching hospital in Iran. Methods: We retr...
