While report of animal bites contaminating wounds is reported commonly, direct wound contamination with squirrel flesh has never been reported in the literature. The patient suffered an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound that drove squirrel flesh and buck shot deep within his right buttock. This case outlines his hospital course and wound treatment. The patient was treated with ten days of...

The investigated material comprised rabbit carcasses obtained from a domestics slaughter (H) and two commercial slaughterhouses (L and M). The spoilage process and its dynamics were determined on the basis of bacteriological studies (total aerobic bacteria count, psychrophilic bacteria count, and presence of proteolitic bacteria), pH measurements, ammonia level as well as basic organoleptic cha...

The goal of this study was to discover a minimally invasive pathway-specific biomarker that is immune to normal cell mRNA contamination for diagnosing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Using Elsevier's MedScan natural language processing component of the Pathway Studio software and the TRANSFAC database, we produced a curated set of genes regulated by the signaling networks driving...

Abstract. Kadim MK, Herawati FY, Arfiati D, Hertik AMS. 2022. Metallothionein level in the larva of Cheumatopsyche sp. and relationship between heavy metal concentration Bone River, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 5942-5950. This study aims to confirm that larvae contain a metal-binding protein, metallothionein, their body correlate it with concentrations larval tissues sediments River....

Background The Sediment Quality Objectives (SQO) indirect effects assessment determines whether sediments meet California’s narrative SQO for human health: Pollutants shall not be present in sediments at levels that will bioaccumulate in aquatic life to levels that are harmful to human health. This program determines whether sediment contamination at a site results in an unacceptable health ris...

Contamination of cell cultures is the most common problem encountered in cell culture laboratories. Besides the secondary cell contaminations often occurring in the cell laboratories, the contaminations originating from donor animal or human tissue are equally as common, but usually harder to recognize and as such require special attention. The present study describes the detection of porcine a...

To improve the accuracy and precision of the assay of aluminum in brain tissue, we modified for application to brain samples from rats and humans the wet-digestion method of Trapp et al. (Biol Psychiatry 1978; 13:709-18), established the contribution of contamination, and examined the effect of precipitation of nonoxidizable fatty residues on the analysis. Specifications of the modified assay a...

Water quality data collection in shallow water areas can be a challenging task. Obstacles encountered in such environments include difficulty in covering large territories and the presence of inaccessible areas due to a variety of reasons such as a soft bottom or contamination. There is also a high probability of disturbing the test area while placing the sensors. This paper describes a NASA-fu...

once the lesion is removed it does not reoccur. In the presented case we have evidence to the contrary. Even though the lesion was removed with an Endopouch, there was obviously a contamination of the pleural space. This might be because of residual material of the hamartoma within the lung tissue or manipulation with the instruments. Parenchyma-sparing wedge resection of is probably the better...
