The present study was performed on rats with experimental mononeuropathy induced by left common sciatic nerve loose ligation. Unilateral sciatic nerve loose ligation induced decreases of the hindpaw withdrawal latency to the hot-plate test, cold-plate test and the Randall Selitto test. Sciatic nerve loose ligation induced hyperesponsiveness to touch at room temperature also. Intrathecal adminis...

materials and methods samples were collected from six different farms and milk factories in iran, and were tested by beta-star and cylinder-plate methods. results among 992 raw milk samples, 236 positive samples, 9 suspected and 747 negative samples in respond to beta-star test and among 236 samples, which had positive responses to beta-star test, 28 positive, 0 suspected and 208 negative resul...

Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...

abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A simplified antifungal disk diffusion test using Mueller-Hinton agar containing 2% glucose and methylene blue 5 microg/mL (GM-MH, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute [CLSI] M44-A) has proved to correlate well with the standard reference test. A new azole, voriconazole, has recently been approved for clinical therapy in Taiwan. This study investigated the reliabil...
