Th? treatment of a case of chronic otorrhcea is, indeed, a very ticklish problem to deal with both in hospital and in private practice. It very often tires out the patience of the sufferer as well as the doctor. In private practice the use of somewhat irritant ear drops, such as boric acid, spirit drops or other spirituous preparations is very difficult and often not possible with many weak and...

Topical antiseptics are commonly used in the management of minor wounds, burns, and infected skin. These agents are widely used by health professionals and are often self-prescribed by patients as they are easily available over-the-counter. This case illustrates a 73 year old man who presented with a non-healing wound on his right forearm for 4 weeks. The wound started from an insect bite and p...

Haemophilus parasuis strains isolated from the noses of apparently healthy animals and from animals with pathological conditions were examined for the presence of a capsule, for their ability to agglutinate in acriflavine or after boiling, and for their peptide profile after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The capsule was identified by precipitation against hexadecyl trimethylammoniu...

Induction of tyrosinase deficiency by acridine dyes. J. Bacteriol. 87:1287-1294. 1964.-Growth in minimal medium containing 1 mug of acriflavine per ml resulted in a large increase (up to 62%) in the frequency of tyrosinase-deficient (tye(-)) mutan...

A novel acriflavine-sensitive mutant was isolated. The mutation was referred to as acrB1 and was demonstrated to be located at min 82.

cesses in photochemical behaviours o f the dye. Th e observed photopotential in aqueous acriflavine solution is positive or negative against the dark electrode, depending on pH . The positive sign implys that the photoreduction of dye is more predominant than the photooxidation. The negative sign is obtained when the photooxidation is the predominant reaction. Using the electrode coated directl...

BACKGROUND Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) allows in vivo investigation of pulmonary microstructures. However, the bronchial epithelium can only be imaged using exogenous fluorophores. The objective of this study is to compare methylene blue (MB) and acriflavine genotoxicity and to assess FCFM performance for in vivo imaging of precancerous lesions. METHODS Genotoxicity was as...
