Plastic shopping bags are often discarded as litter and can be carried away from roadsides become tangled on cotton plants in farm fields. This rubbish plastic end up the at gin if not removed before harvest. These may only cause problems ginning process but might also embedded fibers, reducing quality marketable value. Therefore, detecting, locating, removing is harvested required. Manually de...

The effect of NaHCO2 on the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae cultures was studied in a liquid and a semisolid growth medium. With a broth culture, NaHCO3 (0.009 M) greatly reduced the lag phase and also increased the total growth. The same concentration of bicarbonate supported rapid growth when added to the semisolid medium if the plates were individually incubated in sealed plastic bags. In a ...

LINEAR FOREIGN BODY Clinical presentation: Linear foreign bodies (e.g., string, plastic bags, tinsel, tape deck tape, yarn, thread) occur in the dog and cat. The classic presentation is a patient four years of age or less with persistent vomiting, anorexia, and depression. These signs are common with many gastrointestinal disturbances and linear foreign body should be included in your different...

The length of time Mueller-Hinton agar plates can be stored at 4 C without affecting the size of zones of inhibition in susceptibility testing by the Bauer-Kirby method was studied. It was found that these plates can be stored for 3 weeks at 4 C without an appreciable affect on zone sizes. Storage of plates in sealed plastic bags did not alter the results significantly. The findings indicate th...

Morphology continues to be indispensable for primary isolation and recognition of bacteria. Under controlled conditions of growth, microscopic and gross characteristics of most bacterial species are constant, replicable, and have high differential values. This report is concerned with microculture morphology of Mycobacterium 13 mm) was then placed over each planted area. The plates were incubat...

SUMMARY New platelet storage systems, such as changes in the plastic of the storage bags, require validation. In this study, pooled buffy coat platelets stored in Fresenius/NPBI polyolefin bags were compared with those stored in Fresenius/NPBI butyryl-trihexyl citrate (BTHC) plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The CompoSelect thrombocyte polishing filter system (1000 mL polyolefin bag) and th...
