Six cases of blows with glass bottles on the skull are reported. The glass bottles varied in size, weight, shape and filling level. In all cases the bottles broke, but there were no fractures of the skull or injuries of the brain or meninges. As consequences of the blows with the glass bottles bruises, lacerations and incised wounds were seen. The only cause contributing or leading to death was...

until now, there have been various studies concerning bottle-fed and breast-fed children. prevalence of allergic manifestations like eczema and asthma among bottle-fed children is much higher than healthy controls. in this study, we found that respiratory infection for breast-fed children was 3.1%, whereas in bottle-fed children it was 25.1%for gut disorders, 9.2% in breast-fed vs.13.1 % for bo...

Actual requirements of the pharmaceutics industry for reliable, safe, long term storage biopharmaceuticals imply use chemically inert glass vials. This can be achieved by applying a barrier coating on their internal surface. In present work we investigate hydrolytic resistance amorphous alumina coatings applied chemical vapor deposition at interior soda lime containers. Autoclaving 60 min 121 °...

Bottle-fermented sparkling wine producers are continuously striving to increase quality and produceniche products. One production tool that could be used is a cork closure instead of crown cap closureduring the second fermentation maturation on yeast lees. Anecdotal evidence suggests thisleads stylistic differences in wine. Six pairs South African bottle-fermented wines(Méthode Cap Classique), ...

AIM In an effort to control postoperative sensitivity, dentin sealers are being applied following crown preparations, with little knowledge of how crown retention might be affected. A previous study demonstrated no adverse effect when using a gluteraldehyde-based sealer, and existing studies have shown conflicting results for resin-based products. This study determined the retention of the cast...

BACKGROUND Eye injuries and subsequent loss of vision from the glass and caps of exploding pressurized bottled drinks have been well reported, and as a result most developed countries now use mainly plastic bottles. In Nigeria, however, most drinks are still sold in glass bottles and ocular injuries from this source are therefore not uncommon. AIM To retrospectively analyze ocular injuries re...

(a) Sputum specimens were collected in sterile wide mouth bottles from untreated smear posi tive patients of pulmonary tuberculosis. Ten to twelve sterile glass beads were added to each specimen which was then stirred for 5 minutes to homogenize the material. (b) Glass slides of thin glass were used. Each slide was split longitudinally with a glass knife. Each split slide was marked with patien...
