Role of Anesthesia in Performing Invasive Procedures for Children with Malignancy

Background: Pediatric oncology patients frequently need several painful procedures during their diagnostic and therapeutic process. During the past decades, most centers abroad have developed safe and effective protocols for procedural sedation and analgesia in children. This report describes procedural sedation and analgesia as performed in pediatric oncology unit and tries to report success o...

Nitroblue tetrazolium test in experimental syphilis.

The reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) by phagocytic leucocytes in peripheral blood has been examined in rabbits injected intratesticularly with Treponema pallidum, T. pallidum-free supernatant of orchitic testes, or normal rabbit testes supernatant. A significant (P less than 0.01) increase in NBT reduction was observed only in the infected animals.

The granulocyte nitroblue tetrazolium reductase test.

The nitroblue tétrazolium (N B T ) test is most useful for the diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease and a few other rare metabolic abnormalities of neutrophils. It may be helpful in suggesting the presence of infection when values of both percentage of N BT positive neutrophils and total number of N BT positive neutrophils are markedly increased. Each patient must be inter­ preted with ca...

The use of tetrazolium salts in bioautographic procedures.

! WALLNAUSSER~ has pointed out that TTC (2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride) as well as other redox indicators such as z,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol can be, successfully employed either as visualizing sprays or as additions to the assay media. Although the use of tetrazolium salts in bioautography is not novel, our experience leads us to believe that their use as visualizing systems in bio...
