This paper describes a prime and easy-touse protocol for large-scale production of plant lets through shoot tip culture of Lantana camera, the plant having phytoremediation potential and the method is useful for the ex-situ conservation of other species important for phytoremediation. A simple micro-propagation method from nodal and shoot tip explants were reported here for Lantana camera, at c...

BACKGROUND The authors conducted this prospective study to determine the incidence, potential routes, and risk factors of microbial colonization of epidural catheter used for postoperative pain control. METHODS Two-hundred five patients with epidural analgesia for postoperative pain were studied. On removal of the catheter, five samples were sent for culture: the infusate, a swab from inside ...

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of numerous phenolic compounds found in plants with numerous important physiological events. Exogenously application of Salicylic acid (SA) is useful for the growth and development of plants. This investigation aimed to study the improving effect of salicylic acid on the tissue culture of Ziziphus spina-christi. To study its improving effect were used shoot-tip explan...

Towards the end of the 1990s a new trend in the culture of body modification arose: tongue splitting. The result of this body modification is a tongue tip split into two parts. The present paper reports a single-case study of articulation by a subject who underwent tongue bifurcation. We find that movement direction and the tongue’s acceleration/deceleration behavior affected the degree of disp...

in vitro multiple shoot regeneration of solanum nigrum l., an indian medicinal plant was accomplished on ms medium utilizing shoot tip and nodal explants. direct multiple shoots differentiated within 6 weeks when explants were cultured on ms medium containing bap (1.0-5.0 mg/l) and kin (1.0-5.0 mg/l) individually. among various concentrations of cytokinins tested, maximum number of multiple sho...

Molecular analysis of the first blood culture from 41 patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and 20 bacteremia-associated catheter tip isolates revealed indistinguishable blood colonies in 39 patients (95.1%) and two related variants in two patients (4.9%). Polyclonal bacteremia was not observed in any patient, including four with genetic diversity in the catheter tip isolate.

BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI) is necessary to make a decision about removal of the catheter. Differential time to positivity (DTP) and the ratio of quantitative cultures (RQC) between central and peripheral blood cultures have not been evaluated against a strict standard in children, namely catheter tip culture. OBJECTIVE Our aim is to compar...
