HYPOTHESIS The changes reported with pulse oximetry after the injection of isosulfan blue for sentinel lymph node identification in patients with breast cancer are consistent and predictable. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS The complete anesthesia records of 92 patients who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy with intraparenchymal injection o...

Tartaric acid modified wheat bran was utilized as adsorbent to remove methyl blue, a basic dye from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out to study the effect of various experimental parameters such as initial solution pH, contact time, initial dye concentration and adsorbent dosage, on dye adsorption. The results showed that the modification of wheat bran by tartaric acid signifi...

Parathyroid glands from laying hens were also  xed in percent glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer (0.1 M, 7.3 pH) for araldite embedding and used for electron microscopy. For routine histological observations, sections of 5 to 6 um thickness were cut and stained by, Mayer’s haemalum and eosin-phloxine, Masson’s trichrome, Crossman’s modi cation of Mallory’s triple stain, van Gieson’s method fo...

PURPOSE Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) has the potential to improve sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in breast cancer. In this clinical trial, we compared the potential value of ICG combined with blue dye with that of blue dye alone for detecting SLNs. METHODS Patients undergoing SLN biopsy (SLNB) between November 2010 and November 2013 were included. Up to D...

The effects of blue light and calcium on elongation of hypocotyl segments of Cucumber (Cucumis sativa L. cv Burpee's Pickler) were studied. Cucumber seedlings grown in dim red light showed a rapid decline in the rate of hypocotyl elongation when irradiated with high intensity (100 micromoles per square meter per second) blue light. In intact, 4-day-old seedlings the inhibition began within 2 mi...

Acid azo dyes, most of them naphtholdisulfonic acid derivatives, were given intraperitoneally to rats and their effect on "alkaline" ribonuclease activity was studied in total homogenates of kidney cortex and liver. Acid treatment was used to release bound enzyme activity. Several of the dyes, including trypan blue, increased RNase activity in both organs 3 days after administration of single d...
