If buffer/indicator systems are used as optical thermometers in multicuvettes, the temperature resolution is limited by errors of optical measurements produced mainly by variations of pathlength and blank transmittance of the wells. Theoretical and practical approaches show that, in multicuvettes, a between-well temperature resolution of < 0.05 degrees C can be achieved by multiwavelength photo...

An experiment was conducted to develop a plant extracts based quality indicator for monitoring aerobically packed chicken meat quality during storage at room temperature (25±1oC) until spoiled. Ripen black mulberry (Morus nigra) fruit extracts containing anthocyanins was used for developing quality indicator. Filter paper based indicator was exposed to the closed fresh meat environment. Changes...

Previous research has shown that as the stimulus-to-matching-stimulus interval (including the target-to-target interval, TTI, and nontarget-to-nontarget interval, NNI) increases, the amplitude of the P300 ERP component increases systematically. Here, we extended previous P300 research and explored TTI and NNI effects on the various ERP components elicited in an auditory equiprobable Go/NoGo tas...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis E virus genotype-3 (HEV-gt-3) causes autochthonous infections in western countries, with a primary reservoir in animals, especially pigs. HEV transfusion transmission has been reported, and HEV-gt-3 prevalence is high in some European countries. The prevalence of HEV RNA was investigated among Danish blood donors, and the prevalence of HEV transfusion-transmitted infection ...

We thank Dr. Dupanovic for his interest in our study. As mentioned in our manuscript,1 we chose the two stylet angles to be studied based on the most common angulations used by anesthesiologists in our local practice. The distal 60° angulation used at our centre and in the study was heavily influenced by an expert in airway management who described using a stylet shape that closely approximates...

To determine changes in platelet activity, prostaglandin metabolism and catecholamine release along with changes in hemodynamics during exercise, we measured these parameters before and immediately after treadmill exercise. Measurements were made on peripheral arterial blood simultaneously with a direct aortic pressure recording in 30 patients with coronary artery disease (Group 1), in 20 patie...
