The main part of the quality control of industrial irradiation is assurance of absorbed doses in various parts of irradiated objects. Commercial polycarbonate (PC) films develop yellow color upon radiation exposure. PC films (3mm thick) were used to map radiation fields inside product containers irradiated with Co-60 sources at IPEN. Optical densities were measured with a Shimadzu UV2101PC spec...

Aim: The study aimed to compare the biomechanical stability and strength of tension band wiring method used treat mayo 2A olecranon fractures with Kirschner (K)-wire or cannulated screw configurations. Material Methods: A total 24 anatomical ulna models (Sawbones Model 1004, Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon Island, WA) in were divided into two equal groups 12, fixation K-wire (Group 1) 2),...

BACKGROUND Due to considerable differences in pathogenicity, Haemophilus influenzae, H. parainfluenzae and H. haemolyticus have to be reliably discriminated in routine diagnostics. Retrospective analyses suggest frequent misidentifications of commensal H. haemolyticus as H. influenzae. In a multi-center approach, we assessed the suitability of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and matri...
