Microscopic potassium hydroxide preparation.
Procedure 1. Place the specimen on a clean glass slide. Add 1 drop of 20% KOH. 2. Place the cover glass on top of the slide and gently press to get rid of any air bubbles. Blot excess solution from the finished slide preparation with the gauze. 3. Place slide on the microscope stage and start with a low-power (10 ×) examination. To make epithelial cells visible, reduce illumination by lowering ...
متن کاملComparative study for the reliability of potassium hydroxide mount versus nail clipping biopsy in diagnosis of onychomycosis
Introduction: The clinical pictures of nail dystrophies caused by different fungi are seldom diagnostic. Mycological confirmation with appropriate diagnostic techniques including direct microscopy and fungal culture is important to ensure correct diagnosis and treatment. Microscopy can be performed using potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount and histological evaluation of nail plate specimens with th...
متن کاملCaustic skin burn caused by sodium hydroxide.
DESCRIPTION A 75-year-old, previously healthy, woman presented to the emergency room with bilateral hand wounds. Her medical history revealed the use of a sodium hydroxide (NaOH)—impregnated swab without gloves for approximately 2–3 h. Within several hours she felt a burning sensation and noticed significant hyperaemia and blisters over her left interdigitals and her right tenar eminence and fi...
متن کاملGrazing Bifurcations and Chaos of a Hydraulic Engine Mount
The constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. In addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. In this research all influence the behavior of the system only...
متن کاملGenome Anatomy of Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis UM 256, a Multidrug Resistant Strain Isolated from Skin Scraping
Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis is a rare human pathogen that causes infection in human skin and nail. P. unguis-hominis has received little attention, and thus, the basic biology and pathogenicity of this fungus is not fully understood. In this study, we performed in-depth analysis of the P. unguis-hominis UM 256 genome that was isolated from the skin scraping of a dermatitis patient. The isolate ...
