blood insulin levels in our study. Secondly, cord blood insulin concentrations decrease if collected in heparin and stored at room temperature[1]. But in our study, the samples were collected in EDTA and immediately refrigerated. The third explanation could be the pulsatile release and shorter half-life of insulin coupled with its possible fluctuations during delivery[1]. To conclude, neither n...

PURPOSE Evaluation of doxorubicin stability over time when stored into the DC Bead embolic agent, in various containers, which are used for the delivery of the doxorubicin-loaded beads to the patients for up to 14 days under refrigerated conditions. METHODS The doxorubicin was loaded through the ionic exchange mechanism into the calibrated polyvinyl alcohol-based hydrogel beads (DC Bead), wit...

Abstract The Red Squirrel ammonia field experiments were conducted at the DNV Spadeadam site in UK 2022. Field test data currently exists for high‐pressure (ambient temperature) two‐phase releases of from Desert Tortoise (1983) and FLADIS (1996) experiments. No tests have ever been done cold (refrigerated) liquid spills on dry land or into water. handling liquified ammonia, during storage/proce...

Tuberculosis is a common disease in India. Mantoux test is used in children for diagnosis of tuberculosis. Seibert first prepared the purified protein derivative (PPD) from heat-concentrated old tuberculin by precipitating protein initially with trichloroacetic acid(l). PPD when diluted is adsorbed by glass and plastic surfaces. To minimize this a small amount of detergent. Tween-80, is added t...

We determined appropriate temperatures for sample storage and the resulting stability of 14 analytes commonly radioimmunoassayed in the clinical laboratory. Serum specimens to be tested for concentrations of cholylglycine, cortisol, digoxin, ferritin, follitropin, immunoglobulin E, lutropin, prolactin, thyroxin (also blood-spot thyroxin), triiodothyronine, and triiodothyronine uptake could be s...

The objective of this work was to investigate the evaluation of swine colostrum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration using the Brix refractometer. Colostrum samples were collected across all teats, from 124 sows of mixed parities. According to sampling time, three categories were created: samples available from 9 h before the onset of parturition until the first piglet was born were classified ...

Regulations concerning the storage of transfusable plasma differ internationally. In Canada, plasma obtained from whole blood donations and frozen within 24 hours of phlebotomy (frozen plasma, FP) may be thawed and transfused within 120 hours of refrigerated storage. However, plasma frozen within 8 hours of phlebotomy following apheresis donation (FFPA) must be transfused within 24 hours of tha...

watercress is a leafy vegetable of the family brassicaceae that grows in and around water, it has a short shelf life (approximately seven days) and it is consumed raw or steamed. the objective of this work was to study the effect of packaging film and different storage temperature on the postharvest quality of watercress minimally processed. treatments were: packed with plain film (pd961ez, 31m...

Patties were made from pork loin, individually vacuum- or aerobic-packaged and stored either at 4 or -40°C. Refrigerated patties were irradiated at 0, 1.5, 3.0 or 4.5 kGy absorbed dose, and frozen ones were irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 kGy. Samples were analyzed for lipid oxidation, volatile production and odor characteristics. Refrigerated samples were analyzed at 0, 1 and 2 weeks, and fr...

Phthorimaea operculella is one of the most important pests causing damage to stored potatoes. In this work, effect temperature (at 10, 20 and 30 °C) on predation pest eggs by Blattisocius tarsalis was studied in laboratory. addition, three predatory release rates two densities under microcosm conditions. The results showed that B. maintains its capacity at low temperatures (10 °C), obtaining an...
