M. R. B., a Parsee boy, aged 12, received on the 2nd April, 1927, a severe injury to his right eyeball due to the bursting of a soda-water bottle. A small piece of glass flew into his eye and caused a punctured wound of the cornea. On examination the eye revealed an oblique penetrating wound of the cornea about three millimetres in size situated at the upper and inner portion of the cornea and ...

The authors studied the availability of parenteral solutions of diazepam in glass bottles or polyethylene (PE) containers during infusion through polyvinyl chloride (PVC) administration sets. Diazepam solutions in concentration of 1000 mg/500 ml in 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) and 5% glucose (G5W) injection were infused at a flow rate of 30 ml/h, and samples were taken from the bottle and at the e...

In this paper we propose a prototype for image sequence acquisition of glass wine bottlenecks, whose main novelty is the use of an inner lighting source for better capturing of potential defects. A novel approach for automatic inspection of the bottlenecks based on tracking potential flaws along the acquired sequence is also presented. Our inspection system achieves performance rates of 87% tru...

Soybean oils were packaged in polyvinylchloride, acrylonitrile, clear glass and amber glass bottles and their flavor stabilities were evaluated by a trained sensory panel. Hydrogenated and unhyrdogenated oils showed similar patterns of flavor deterioration regardless of container or type of aging. In accelerated light-exposure tests with air in the headspace, oils in plastic bottles showed flav...

The study reported here, seeking to develop a simple, practical, sensitive, and inexpensive technique for microbial diagnosis of tuberculosis, used a combination of biphasic media and microculture techniques to augment the sensitivity of traditional culture methods. A total of 540 sputum samples (5 mL each) were obtained from 180 patients with suspected tuberculosis in Mexico City. These sample...
