Sperm morphometry is a part of the semen analysis based on CASA technology and has shown a big role in the prediction of male fertility. This analysis implies the use of stain techniques, although it has been shown that staining can make dramatic changes in the cell morphometry in different species. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the differences in sperm morphometry in Alpaca, intr...

Methods A retrospective study of chart analysis of 171 patients undergone to 220 OFC, between June/2007 and Feb/ 2014. Food tests comprised CM, egg, soy,peanuts, nuts, seafood, meat, chicken, tartrazine, chocolate, wheat and coconut. Patients were evaluated according to the type of CM’s challenge (open or double-blind placebo-controlled), aim of the procedure (diagnosis or follow up tolerance),...

High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) are potential stereolithography-based resins for producing innovative lightweight porous materials; however, the use of these has only been shown in bespoke stereolithography setups. These studies indicated that HIPEs tend to scatter light during structuring through stereolithography, and can produce poorly defined low-resolution structures, but inclusion a...

A rapid trichrome stain procedure was evaluated. It saves considerable time, especially when only a few slides are stained, and allows for the accurate identification of amoebae and other fecal parasites.

background & objectives: oral submucous fibrosis (osmf) is a condition where excessive deposition of dense collagen fibers occurred in the connective tissue of oral mucosa. an alteration of collagen necessitates an in depth understanding of collagen in oral tissues as no breakthrough studies have been reported. therefore the aim was to correlate the clinical, functional and histopathologica...

Tartrazine degradation was investigated by electrochemical and sonochemical oxidation processes. Anodic carried out using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. The influence of current density dye initial concentration on the removal tartrazine from water analyzed. experimental results indicate that total obtained, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removals up to 94.4% 72....
