Argyrophilic nucleolar organiser regions (AgNORs) in 28 follicular lymphomas and 30 lymph nodes showing reactive follicular hyperplasia were studied to see if they were helpful in distinguishing follicular lymphoma from follicular hyperplasia in paraffin wax tissue sections. Mean nuclear counts were greater in follicular hyperplasia (3.71 v 3.11). This difference was significant but counts over...

Effect of different additives like wax (polyethylene), stearic acid, calcium stearate, alum, naphthalene and camphor was studied on the burning efficiency of paraffin-candles. It was found that burning efficiency, physical strength and smoke producing capacity of candles were influenced by even adding these additives in very small quantities. Burning rates were calculated while smoke generated ...

A method for identifying Helicobacter pylori using a non-isotopic in situ hybridisation technique is described. A probe generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers directed against parts of the Helicobacter pylori 16SrRNA sequence was used. Paraffin wax embedded gastric biopsy specimens from patients with and without gastritis were hybridised with the probe, and the method was sho...

This work describes a technique which has been developed for the detection and imaging of breast cancer tumours. It describes how 3D images can be reconstructed from 2D scalar intensity patterns, or holograms. An outline of the background theory in described followed by experimental results on paraffin wax breast phantoms Results demonstrate that this technique is capable of determining the loc...

therapeutic and Massage Department, the buildings of which have been provided by public subscription and the equipment by Sir Alexander and Lady Bicket. In so doing he was continuing the good work of his family, for it was his grandfather who laid the foundation-stone of the hospital in 1867. The new department is furnished with whirlpool, aerated, paraffin-wax and other baths, where over one h...

The encapsulation technique is one way to use latent heat storage material in a solar water heater tank. In this technique, several capsules may be arranged the study, were installed along cross-section of There has been no discussion which part capsule position optimal energy with arrangement. Proper placement arrangement can result thermal This study aimed investigate effectiveness installing...
