a combination of an acidification reactor and an up-flow staged sludge bed (ussb) reactor wasapplied to treatment of molasses wastewater. the ussb, equipped with three gas solid separators, wasselected because of superior organic removal by means of good retention of granular sludge. the combinedsystem was continuously operated at mesophilic (35°c) conditions for 600 days. the ussb achieved a h...

Genes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are co-located with their gene products to permit regulation of trans-membrane electron transport at the energetic boundary of the cell.

We have prospectively studied the outcome of infections associated with implants which were retained and treated using a standardised antimicrobial protocol. Over a period of four years, we studied 24 consecutive patients who had symptoms of infection for less than one year, a stable implant, no sinus tract and a known pathogen which was susceptible to recommended antimicrobial agents. The infe...

This case demonstrates a rare event of retained invasive placenta masquerading as choriocarcinoma. The patient presented with heavy vaginal bleeding following vaginal delivery complicated by retained products of conception. Ultrasound and computed tomography demonstrated a vascular endometrial mass, invading the uterine wall and raising suspicion for choriocarcinoma. Hysterectomy revealed retai...

Dear Editor, Soft tissue foreign bodies (FBs) are a common occurrence in emergency departments. Not all FBs are discovered during the initial patient encounter; several signs reveal the presence of a retained FB in a wound.1 Some FBs cause significant problems, including infl ammation, chronic pain and repeat visits, whereas some FBs are asymptomatic and remain undetected for months or years. W...

laboratory trials have shown a potential detrimental effect upon the application of load, clinical long-term follow-up studies do not support such assertions, reporting comparable outcomes instead. Furthermore, arguments of increased rates of screw loosening and fractures in screw-retained abutments should be classified according to their publication date and the type of components used at that...
