Efforts were made to shorten the time required for detection of rubella virus in clinical materials through the use of immunoperoxidase (IP) staining. Comparative studies were performed in which specimens were inoculated in parallel into BHK-21 hamster kidney cells, which were examined by IP staining at 5 days, and into BK-13 and BS-C-1 cells, which were examined in two ways, viz., by subpassag...

The histopathological effects of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate on the gill, liver and kidney tissues of the Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum were studied. The fish were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of anionic detergent, Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) for short term intervals (192 h). Gill, liver and kidney samples were collected after 192 h of exposure to LAS and lesions we...

Histopathological changes in gills of a native fish Capoeta aculeata, naturally-infected with parasites were studied. The specimens (15.5 to 22.8 cm) were collected from Choghakhor lagoon in West Iran. 35 (11%) of the total 318 studied fishes were infected with gill parasites. Overall, six protozoan and metazoan parasite species were collected from fishes including Ichthyophthirius multifiliis,...

 Background and Objectives:Rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry. Methods: Four to five mm thick p...

background and objectives: the aim of this study was to compare direct microscopic examination with culture and pcr for the diagnosis of mucorales infection in blood and tissue specimens. material and methods: blood samples and tissue specimens were obtained from 28 patients (total 58 samples) with suspected invasive fungal infection and cultured on proper media. direct smear of tissue samples ...

The decline of European abalone Haliotis tuberculata populations has been associated with various pathogens including bacteria of the genus Vibrio. Following the summer mortality outbreaks reported in France between 1998 and 2000, Vibrio harveyi strains were isolated from moribund abalones, allowing in vivo and in vitro studies on the interactions between abalone H. tuberculata and V. harveyi. ...

copper is a very common element in water resources. for this reason, concerns about the risks and consequences of this element in water contamination are arising. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of water-born cuo (copper (ii) oxide) on the rainbow trout, oncorhynchus mykiss gill tissue to establish a suitable biomarker for copper in water resources. samples with 18±3g b...

-------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT--------------------------------------------------The present study was to evaluate nitrite toxicity in fish gills during long-term exposure of sublethal concentration of sodium nitrite (NaNo2). The effect of nitrite on histopathological parmeters were evaluated exposing Indian freshwater fish, Cirrhinus mrigala to a sublethal conce...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the subcutaneous tissue responses of freshly mixed or set endodontic root canal sealers ( i.e. roekoseal, ah26, ah plus) in wistar albino rats. materials and methods: seventy-two male albino rats weighing 200-250g were used. the animals were randomly divided into six groups of 12 rats each. root canal sealers were implanted in subcutaneous ...
