Fish sauce is a fermented product which is used in south Asian countries. In the present study, Caspian Kilka was used to produce the sauce, using either cooked or raw fish subjected to four different treatments: 1) traditional method, where fish and salt were used; 2) an enzymatic method, where fish, salt and proteolytic enzymes, including Protamex and Flavourzyme (Novo Nordisc Co., Bagsvaerd,...

The present study aims at the microbiological analysis of export oriented frozen fishes, namely, Jew fish, Tongue Sole fish, Cuttle fish, Ribbon fish, Queen fish, and fish processing water and ice from a view of public health safety and international trade. Microbiological analysis includes the determination of total viable aerobic count by standard plate count method and enumeration of total c...

Efficient swimming of biologically carangiform robotic fish has been investigated by using a novel experimental method. The laboratory robotic fish model, which follows an exact replica of Saithe, is self-propelled on a servo towing system. The forward towing speed is determined by the fluid force acting on the robotic fish, as the fish undulates its body in the water. The importance of the sel...

A new method that simplifies the evaluation of the traditional HER2 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) evaluation in breast cancer was proposed. HER2 status was evaluated in digital images (DIs) captured from 423 invasive breast cancer stained sections. All centromeric/CEP17 and HER2 gene signals obtained from separated stacked DIs were manually counted on the screen. The global ratios w...

Imaging of RNAs and proteins in specific tissues has opened ample avenues to understand gene expression during development. Recently, a fluorescent in situ RNA hybridization (FISH) method has been developed to analyze the spatio-temporal expression patterns of endogenous mRNAs. However, combining FISH with immunofluorescence is challenging as the reaction conditions for the two procedures confl...

The aim of this study was to produce fish protein concentrate from marine Cynoglossus bilineatus, the brought local Basrah market and dried in oven at 025 °C for 06 h. chemical composition were 48.62 % (N×6.25), 19.49 fat 19.95 ash, while processed 79.56 6.38 9.51 ash. obtain yield 67.58 fish. product characterized with light brown acceptable fishy smell, also showed good strong stability after...

background: parental anxiety while waiting for the results of amniocentesis has been investigated by many authors. it seems that the implementation of faster techniques such as fluorescence in-situ hybridization (fish) will have some benefits in reducing this anxiety. besides the patients' attitudes to choosing this method, gynecologists who are the persons responsible for treatment, must feel ...

conventional cytogenetic is the standard technique for detection of philadelphia (ph) chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (cml). evaluation of abelson murine leukemia/breakpoint cluster region (abl/bcr) fusion using dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (d-fish) is an alternative approach allowing rapid and reliable detection of the disease. we employed the technique of interphase d...

objective: 22q11.2 chromosomal region is a hot spot for many cytogenetic rearrangements especially microdeletions which are responsible for digeorge and velocardiofacial syndromes. the most characteristic sign in these patients is congenital cardiac conotruncal anomalies. the gold standard diagnostic test for these microdeletions is fish (fluorescent in situ hybridization). however this diagnos...
