Detection of rotavirus by Latex Agglutination Test (Rotales); Comparison with Electron Microscopy and Complement Fixation Test

Preservation of the Lipids of the Human Erythrocyte Stroma during Fixation and Dehydration for Electron Microscopy

Recent reports of lipid and/or protein losses from biological material during fixation processes (Luft and Wood, 1963; Ashworth et al., 1966; Korn and Weisman, 1966; Morgan and Huber, 1967; Stein and Stein, 1967 a, b, 1968; Buschmann and Taylor, 1968; Ongun et al., 1968) emphasize the necessity for basing the interpretation of electron micrographs upon knowledge of the final composition of the ...

Loss of Absorbed Lipid during Fixation and Dehydration of Jejunal Mucosa

No neutral lipid, but nearly all the phospholipid, was retained in Acanthamoebae when this organism was fixed in osmium tetroxide and dehydrated with ethanol. If applicable to intestinal mucosa, this observation of Korn and Weisman's (I) might disturb electron microscopists striving to interpret morphological events during fat absorption. Three other groups of investigators have commented on th...

Studies of the Interaction of Cardiac Lipid Droplets with Mitochondria Using Electron Microscopy

In the United States and many developed countries, obesity is a rising health problem. Obesity is the result of an imbalance in lipid homeostasis and is evidenced by the excessive accumulation of cytoplasmic lipid droplets (CLDs) in cardiac muscles. The CLD is a dynamic organelle that functions in maintaining cellular lipid storage and metabolism [1]. It interacts with various cell organelles s...

Risk factors of loss reduction after percutaneous fixation in supracondylar humerus in pediatric: a descriptive-analytical study

Background & Aims: supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most common pediatric elbow fractures accounting for about 16% of the pediatric fractures. Loss of reduction is one of the complications after closed and percutaneous fixation. This research is aimed to investigate the factors involved in the loss of reduction. Method: In this descriptive study, the children with supracondylar hum...
