cutaneous lesions in fishes due to viral, bacterial, parasitic, mechanical and chemical agents are very common, leading to severe infection and high mortality. the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of long term bath of zinc sulfate (15 and 23 ppm), healing of cutaneous lesions caused by surgical incision in carps. in this study, 210 carps were disinfected by 3% salt solution fo...

Roth, Norman G. (Whirlpool Corp., St. Joseph, Mich.) and Robert B. Wheaton. Continuity of psychrophilic and mesophilic growth characteristics in the genus Arthrobacter. J. Bacteriol. 83:551-555. 1962.-The effect of temperature on growth of seven members of the genus Arthrobacter was determined at 0, 7, 20, 30, and 37 C. In general, no sharp cutoff point was observed between growth-temperature r...

pain relief by soaking in hot water can be used for women who want to birth their child with minimal medical intervention . this achieved in new division of labor in the hinchinbroke hospital in september 1983 . in this part, control of childbirth pain has done with minimal medical intervention . if consultation of maternity is necessary, have be done in this hospital. midwives and doctors in t...

This work was originally undertaken to determine the effective conditions of essential oils against Trichophyton mentagrophytes in vitro for the treatment of tinea pedis in a foot bath. Agar blocks implanted with T. mentagrophytes were immersed in 0.1% aqueous agar containing two-fold dilutions of essential oils with or without sodium chloride at 27 degrees C, 37 degrees C and 42 degrees C for ...

High-throughput studies in the Medical College of Wisconsin Program for Genomic Applications (Physgen) were designed to link chromosomes with physiological function in consomic strains derived from a cross between Dahl salt-sensitive SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS) and Brown Norway normotensive BN/NHsdMcwi (BN) rats. The specific goal of the vascular protocol was to characterize the responses of aortic rings...

A constitutive model is developed for the elastic response of an anionic polyelectrolyte gel under swelling in water with an arbitrary pH and an arbitrary molar fraction of dissolved monovalent salt. A gel is treated as a three-phase medium consisting of a solid phase (polymer network), solvent (water), and solute (mobile ions). Transport of solvent and solute is thought of as their diffusion t...

We use a molecular theory to study the thermodynamics of a weak-polyacid hydrogel film that is chemically grafted to a solid surface. We investigate the response of the material to changes in the pH and salt concentration of the buffer solution. Our results show that the pH-triggered swelling of the hydrogel film has a non-monotonic dependence on the acidity of the bath solution. At most salt c...
