We investigated the microbial contamination of suction tubes attached to wall-type suction instrument. Microbial contamination of suction tubes used for endoscopy or sputum suction in wards was examined before and after their disinfection. In addition, disinfection and washing methods for suction tubes were evaluated. Suction tubes (N=33) before disinfection were contaminated with 102-108 colon...

was administered, and after a short interval an enema. The enema brought away a small quantity of dark, foully-smelling fajcal matter in small pieces. Not much relief followed, and in the evening he began to vomit bilious matter which was shot up without much effort. The bowel was again washed out by an enema, but nothing but foully-stained water returned. On 11th May under morphia he slept fai...

Measurements of heat collection rate and heat loss coefficient are crucial for the evaluation of in service water-in-glass evacuated tube solar water heaters. However, conventional measurement requires expensive detection devices and undergoes a series of complicated procedures. To simplify the measurement and reduce the cost, software based on artificial neural networks for measuring heat coll...
