in medicine, patent blue violet (pbv) is utilized for staining lymphatic vessels in sentinel lymph node (sln) surgery. moreover, pbv (also called e131 ) is used as food additive. we report on a 51-year-old non-atopic female with early breast cancer, who was scheduled for sln excision and experienced an intra-operative anaphylactic reaction. in diagnostics the skin prick test (spt) was positive ...

Conformation scores can account for more than 20% of cattle price variation at Australian livestock sales. However, there are limited available references which define genetic factors relating objective live developmental traits to carcass composition. Weaning and post-weaning weight, height, length, girth, muscle (ratio of stifle to hip width) and fat depth of 1202 progeny from mature Hereford...

Delayed sleep phase (and sometimes free-run) is common in the Antarctic winter (no natural sunlight) and optimizing the artificial light conditions is desirable. This project evaluated sleep when using 17,000 K blue-enriched lamps compared with standard white lamps (5000 K) for personal and communal illumination. Base personnel, 10 males, five females, 32.5±8 years took part in the study. From ...

The occurrence of a blue whale is reported for the first time for the New Caledonian archipelago. The whale, a juvenile male in poor condition, entered the shallow inshore waters of the coral reef lagoon (22 0 19-24' S, 166 46-52' E) where it spent at least 1 month until it was killed by whaler sharks on 27 January 2002. Live observations, examination of photographic documents, and skull osteol...

statement of problem: early diagnoses of oral malignancies and pre-malignancies have direct effect in the outcome of these lesions. therefore the techniques for early diagnosis have been considered as useful method in practice. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of oratest and generic toluidine blue (gtb) in the detection of oral malignancy and premalignancy. materia...

This survey is devoted to problems and results concerning covering the vertices of edge colored graphs or hypergraphs with monochromatic paths, cycles and other objects. It is an expanded version of the talk with the same title at the Seventh Cracow Conference on Graph Theory, held in Rytro in September 14-19, 2014. 1 Covers by paths and cycles In this survey r-coloring always means edge-colori...

PURPOSE To compare the Alcon AcrySof Natural (SN60AT) and AcrySof (SA60AT), the AMO Sensar (AR40e) and ClariFlex, and the Pfizer CeeOn Edge 911A intraocular lenses (IOLs) as to their ability to protect retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from light damage mediated by the lipofuscin fluorophore A2E. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA. METHODS...

blue nevi are uncommon, asymptomatic lesions of the uterine cervix. these lesions are not often detected clinically or on colposcopy. careful histopathological examination is required. the nevus cells are said to originate from the immature melanoblasts of the neural crest. these lesions need to be differentiated from malignant melanoma and melanosis of the cervix. we present here a case report...

Abstract The present work demonstrates the new nanofiber mats prepared through co-electrospinning of two different polymers i.e. corn protein namely Zein and Nylon-6. composite membrane was used as an effective adsorbent material for removal toxic reactive dye Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) from water solution. These co-electrospun nanofibers had good mechanical strength compared to zein alone. Experi...
