The objectives of this experiment looked at were that the DNA, both skin cells and saliva, have potential binding with superglue as it coats each object being fumed. If DNA has superglue, then is very possible for to be carried in air by humidifier, thus contaminating other objects. For first experiment, two saliva covered microscope slides, one female male, fumed along 25 sterile slides. Each ...

These notes accompany the slides, formatted for web browsers, used in the presentation. The web address of title slide is given above, and the slides in the presentation can be followed using the clickable arrows. In most cases, use of the forward arrow will bring up the next slide in the sequence. In all cases, the section headings in these notes are the same as those of the corresponding slid...

Background : Liqui-PREP (LP) is a new liquid-based cytologic preparation that produces a thin layer of cells. Methods : Thyroid aspirates were obtained from 189 patients and divided to prepare pairs of conventional preparation (CP) and LP slides. The CP slides were routinely diagnosed by attending staffs and classified into the six categories. LP slides were independently evaluated by three cyt...

Online collaboration on lecture contents has gained much popularity, over the few decades, due to its potential to enhance the learning experience. We propose a novel idea of an online collaboration platform, called Multiscript (MS), for the students and the teacher, on classroom lectures. MS combines two online learning approaches into a single collaboration platform. One approach, called outs...

The current study investigated whether a 15 min recorded focused breathing induction in a normal, primarily undergraduate population would decrease the intensity and negativity of emotional responses to affectively valenced picture slides and increase willingness to remain in contact with aversive picture slides. The effects of the focused breathing induction were compared with the effects of 1...

OBJECTIVES To determine the reliability of the diagnosis of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), and the variation between and within microscopists, from urethral smears at a large London genitourinary medicine clinic. METHODS A senior microscopist (SM) preselected 60 Gram stained urethral smear slides, 20 negative (<5 polymorphs/hpf), 20 low grade NGU (5-20 p/hpf), and 20 high grade NGU (>20 p/h...

Virtual microscopy (VM) uses a computer to view digitized slides and is comparable to using a microscope to view glass slides. This technology has been assessed in human medical education for teaching histology and histopathology, but, to the authors' knowledge, no one has evaluated its use in teaching cytopathology in veterinary medical education. We hypothesize that students will respond posi...

OBJECTIVE AND METHODS Two experiments examined the impact of viewing unpleasant, pleasant, and neutral photographic slides on cold-pain perception in healthy men and women. In each experiment, participants viewed one of three slide shows (experiment 1 = fear, disgust, or neutral; experiment 2 = erotic, nurturant, or neutral) immediately before a cold-pressor task. Skin conductance and heart rat...
