this study was carried out to investigate effects of copper sulphate (cuso4) additive to semen extenders on sperm parameters: progressive motility, viability, membrane integrity and dna damage, after semen dilution and cryopreservation. semen samples of 5 buffalo bulls of 3-5 years old were collected at 5 different occasions during the autumn 2011. a total number of 25 samples were used in each...

Ultrasonic velocities and densities have been measured for the aqueous solution of manganese sulphate, nickel sulphate and copper sulphate in polyvinyl alcohol solution, in different concentration at 303K. Adiabatic compressibility, intermolecular free length, acoustic impedance, surface tension and other acoustical parameters have been calculated to assess the polymer-ion interaction. It is se...

Copper sulphate ingestion (accidental or deliberate) is a rare form of poisoning usually limited to the Indian subcontinent. Though the rates are on the decline, it is essential that physicians are aware of its lethal complications and management strategies. The main complications of copper sulphate ingestion include intravascular haemolysis, methaemoglobinaemia, acute kidney injury and rhabdom...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate copper sulphate densitometry to screen for childhood anaemia in a primary care setting, with a view to identifying children requiring definitive diagnostic testing and treatment. DESIGN A cross-sectional screening study. Results of densitometry with a copper sulphate solution of specific gravity (SG) 1.048, corresponding to a haemoglobin (Hb) concentration of 10 g/dl, we...

Copper sulphate poisoning was one of the commonest mode of poisoning in certain parts of India, but its suicidal ingestion has dramatically decreased over the years. We present a case of copper sulphate poisoning successfully treated by general supportive measures and D-penicillamine.

The application of porous silicon as a template for the fabrication of nanosized copper objects is reported. Three different types of nanostructures were formed by displacement deposition of copper on porous silicon from hydrofluoric acid-based solutions of copper sulphate: (1) copper nanoparticles, (2) quasi-continuous copper films, and (3) free porous copper membranes. Managing the parameters...

The plasmid-localized tcrB (transferable copper-resistance gene B) gene from Enterococcus faecium was identified to be part of an operon called the tcrYAZB operon, which has a genetic organization similar to the copYZAB copper-homeostasis gene cluster from Enterococcus hirae. Putative promoter (P(tcr))- and repressor-binding sites highly similar to the E. hirae cop-promoter region were identifi...

After initial promotion of copper excretion with D-penicillamine, the effect of oral zinc sulphate (3 X 150 mg/day, loading dose; 3 X 100 mg/day, maintenance dose) in two children with clinically stable Wilson's disease was evaluated after completion of three years' treatment. The course, judged by clinical, biochemical, and histological parameters was satisfactory in both. The urinary copper c...

The growth-promoting effect of the addition of 0.1 % copper sulphate (supplying 250 p.p.m. copper) to a growing-pig diet, reported by Barber, Braude, Mitchell & Cassidy (1955), has since been widely confirmed. The mode of action of Cu is unknown, and whether the site of action is enteric, systemic or both remains obscure. In an attempt to throw some light on this problem, a study was made of th...

The widespread use of formalin, copper sulphate, and other germicides in seed treatment for the control of seed-transmitted diseases is generally attended by decreased and retarded seed germination. Pathogens on the seed coats, present as dry bacteria, fungus spores, or dormant mycelium, are usually in a resting stage and as such require the use of disinfectants in a fairly strong concentration...
