LLE Review, Volume 142 110 Introduction Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is an infrared (IR) optical material widely used for applications such as IR windows, domes, and optical lenses.1 It is industrially produced by the chemical-vapor–deposition (CVD) technique to reach a dense, milky yellow–orange color, with +70% transmission in the mid-long-wave IR region.1 Its inner structure consists of cone-like stru...

Eruptive xanthomas are cutaneous manifestations of hyperlipidemias in which lipids accumulate in large foam cells within the skin. They classically present as crops of 1- to 4-mm yellow-orange papules and are often associated with extreme hypertriglyceridemia. We describe a 12-year-old boy with autism who was thought to have widespread molluscum contagiosum for a year before dermatologic consul...

gummy bark disease of sweet orange (citrus sinensis) trees has been reported from a few citrus growing regions of the world. the disease symptoms consist of mild to severe stem pitting and brown gummy flecks in the bark of sweet orange trees on sour orange ( c. aurantium) rootstock, being conspicuous several centimeter above the bud :union: on the trunk. the pits were usually impregnated with b...

ABSTRACT The sweet potato cultivar ‘IAC 134 AL01’ has tuberous roots with high β-carotene content, the fresh pulp having an intermediate orange colour (based on international descriptors for crop), which turns bright after cooking, and a mildly taste. These have long-irregular shape, red skin are of medium size, weighing, average, 300 g measuring 14 x 6 cm. first biofortified Campinas Agronomic...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of parental military service-related exposures and rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) risk in offspring using data from a large case-control study of childhood RMS. STUDY DESIGN Cases (n = 319) were enrolled from the third trial run by the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group. Population-based controls (n = 319) were pair-matched to cases on race, sex, and age. Condition...

men greatly distended ; skin dry; feel (edematous; bowels irregular; tongue coated, but fairly moist; heart and lungs health}', except for occasional rhonchi in the latter; very anaemic; pulse quick and feeble; morning temperature 101*2. Liver enlarged to about a finger's breadth below the costal margin. Spleen extended downwards a finger's breadth below the umbilicus, and so far to the right a...

This study explored the existence of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet (Ich) theronts and determined the effect of cutaneous antibodies in skin culture fluid from fish immune to Ich on theront apoptosis. Apoptosis was detected in theronts and was clearly distinguished by fluorescent microscopy after staining with acridine orange and propidium iodide. The ...

The aim of this study, linked-up with a previous study on bergamot oils, was the evaluation of phototoxic potential of essential oils (orange, lemon and Litsea cubeba), used as cosmetic ingredients. The applied tiered testing strategy included chemical analysis of the substances (by means of capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry), in vitro 3T3 NRU phototoxicity test and EpiDerm™ skin p...

in this experiment, physiological responses of two citrus rootstocks [sour orange (citrus aurantium l.) and trifoliate orange (poncirus trifoliata raf.)] were investigated under in vitro salt stress conditions. this study was conducted on a completely randomized factorial design. explants (nucellar seedling obtained from seeds) of both rootstocks were transferred to murashige and skoog (ms) sol...
