Background: In 2002 we investigated an outbreak comprising 231 patients in Norway, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and linked to the use of contaminated mouth swabs called Dent-O-Sept. Here we describe the extent of contamination of the swabs, and identify critical points in the production process that made the contamination possible, in order to prevent future outbreaks. Methods: Environmenta...

A 31-year-old primigravida consulted her gynaecologist in the casualty department of a private hospital in Belgium (Imeldaziekenhuis Bonheiden) with intermittent contractions presenting as lower back pain, vague hypogastric cramps and vaginal discharge of blood and mucus. She was 19 weeks and 3 days pregnant according to dates of conception and an ultrasound at 7 weeks. Her medical history was ...

The indications for collapse therapy in the treatment of tuberculosis, simply stated, are—an active pulmonary lesion. Collapse therapy has come to the front as the most effective treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis and ahead of the older measures of rest, fresh air, diet, and climatic change. There is little difference of opinion about the effectiveness of collapse therapy as determined by clin...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding essential oils to the diet of weaned pigs on performance, nutrient utilization, immune response and intestinal health. A total of 96 weaning pigs (8.37±1.58 kg) were allotted to one of three dietary treatments. The treatments consisted of an unsupplemented basal diet (negative control, NC) or similar diets supplemented with 0.01%...

The Cardio-vascular Tissues aimed for clinical use are submitted to the European Regulation (Directives 2004/ 23EC, 2006/17EC and 2006/86EC) to assure high level of tissue quality and security. The European Directive was transposed into the Member state legislation and Standards, specific to their needs and possibilities. The Cardio-vascular tissues are recovered in the operating theatre or ano...

The oxidation-reduction (redox) potential (Eh) of a system deence shown by variation of the redox potential, the degree of difference could be explored at an initial moderating level for rives from the measurement of transfer of electrons between a pair of electrodes in relation to the standard hydrogen electrode. The comparison with oxidizing or reducing levels. The accumulation or depletion o...

To better understand the respiratory physiology of triploid fish, we conducted an analysis of O2 and CO2 transport in diploid and triploid chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) swimming at 0.4 body lengths (BL)·s–1, at 2.0 BL·s–1, and at the critical swimming velocity (Ucrit). While O2 consumption rates (MO2), MO2 max, and Ucrit did not differ between ploidies, triploids had a smaller incre...
