Phthiriasis palpebrarum is an uncommon cause of blepharoconjunctivitis in which Pthirus pubis infest the eyelashes. We report a case of unilateral phthiriasis palpebrarum with crab louse. A 45-year-old man presented with conjunctival hyperaemia and moderate itching associated with irritation, and crusty excretions of the eyelashes in the left eye. Careful slit-lamp examination revealed many lic...

In t ramembranous charge movement was measured in cut twitch fibers mounted in a double Vaseline-gap chamber with ei ther a tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA.CI) o r a TEA2.SO 4 solution (13-14~ in the central pool. Charge vs. voltage data were fitted by a single two-state Boltzmann distr ibution function. The average values of V (the voltage at which steady-state charge is equally distr ibuted ...

Calcium currents in crayfish muscle fibres were studied by means of the vaseline gap voltage clamp technique. Overlapping potassium currents were fully suppressed using fibre fragments equilibrated in K+-free intracellular solution. The design of the recording chamber tailored to crayfish muscle fibres is described in detail. Ca currents recorded has a two-component time course. The transient (...

Rhizobia are well-known for their ability to infect and nodulate legume roots, forming a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis of agricultural importance. In addition, recent studies have shown that rhizobia can colonize roots and aerial plant tissues of rice as a model plant of the Graminaceae family. Here we show that rhizobia can invade tobacco, a model plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. Inoculat...

vaseline to prevent excoriation, and a single layer of dry gauze is placed over the whole area. No other dressings of any kind are required. The limb is made comfortable by means of pillows, and under the wound area a flat tray is placed to receive the discharge. The wound is protected from flies, etc., by a cage over which the bed-sheet is tucked. The Sub-Assistant Surgeon in charge is instruc...

We recently reported gating currents recorded from hERG channels expressed in mammalian TSA cells and assessed the kinetics at different voltages. We detected 2 distinct components of charge movement with the bulk of the charge being carried by a slower component. Here we compare our findings in TSA cells with recordings made from oocytes using the Cut Open Vaseline Gap clamp (COVG) and go on t...

a fall from a bullock cart. Examination revealed & compound fracture of both the bones of the right leg with gas gangrene spreading up to the lower portion of right iliac fossa. The patient's general condition was poor; he was toxic and the pulse rate over 140 and feeble. Under a small dose of pentothal sodium, a guillotine amputation of the thigh was done as quickly as possible, and the raw su...

The edible nest swiftlets are suspected to contain sialic acid that can increase the process of cell growth reduce formation scar tissue and accelerate wound healing. This study aimed determine effect optimal dosage ointment on skin histopathology diabetes mellitus rats suffered a scratch wound. used 25 male white rats, divided into 5 groups, all groups were treated with betadine intervention g...
