The presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in nasal secretions and saliva from 14 HHV-8-seropositive persons, including 8 Kaposi's sarcoma patients: 7 were human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected, 6 of whom were asymptomatic. HHV-8 was detected in one or both body fluids in 8 (57%) of 14 subjects. Parallel PCR testing revealed the concomit...

2. Sterility of the blood taken for storage The contrivance described for. taking blood for transfusion was originally intended for bleeding a donor, and using the blood within an hour or so. The precautions taken aimed at surgical asepsis but not bacteriological sterility. It was, however, found that blood taken by the same device for injecting -animals and kept for several weeks in the cold r...

When standard leads or ordinary prncordial leads are taken with a string galvanometer electro-cardiograph, the resistance of the patient can be measured for each lead. However, no method has been described previously by which the resistance at any of the extremities or at any point on the body can be measured. A method for doing this is described below. Principle. When the standard leads are ta...

The Corrosion Performances in Various artificial body fluids of various metals are evaluated, Artificial human blood, urine serum, Joint fluid, simulated bile solutions, artificial salaiva, Hank’s solutions Ringers, Tyrode of the solution, Cigada solutions are examined with different type of metals such as Ni-Al-Fe alloys, TiO2 nano tubes, cobalt alloys, Cr alloys, 316 stainless steel, Mg alloy...

miRNAs are small 22-nucleotide RNAs that can post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. It has been proposed that dietary plant miRNAs can enter the human bloodstream and regulate host transcripts; however, these findings have been widely disputed. We here conduct the first comprehensive meta-study in the field, surveying the presence and abundances of cross-species miRNAs (xenomiRs) in 8...

We describe the rationale for an application ontology covering the domain of human body fluids that is designed to facilitate representation, reuse, sharing and integration of diagnostic, physiological, and biochemical data. We briefly review the Blood Ontology (BLO), Saliva Ontology (SALO) and Kidney and Urinary Pathway Ontology (KUPO) initiatives. We discuss the methods employed in each, and ...

Biomarkers are present in all parts of the body including body fluids and tissues. Most of the clinical laboratory examinations are done on body fluids such as blood and urine. Biomarkers can be detected on imaging studies or examination of body tissues. Even exhaled breath contains biomarkers. A wide range of technologies is utilized for detection of biomarkers and a number of assays are alrea...

materials used in the body, especially the materials used in various oral cavity regions should be stable and passive without any interactions with the body tissues or fluids. dental amalgam, c omposite resins and dental cements are the materials of choice with such properties. the first attempts to produce active materials, which could interact with the human body tissues and fluids were promp...
