A programme to sterilise and vaccinate neighbourhood dogs against rabies was established in Jaipur, India. Neighbourhood dogs were captured humanely, sterilised surgically, vaccinated against rabies and, when they had recovered, released where they had been caught. Between November 1994 and December 2002, 24,986 dogs were treated in this way. Direct observational surveys of the local dog popula...

was manipulated to relieve pressure on the skin over the dorsum of the foot, and a plaster-of-paris cast padded with sterilised cotton-wool was applied in the casualty-theatre, which is on the ground floor. Operation.-Next day he was operated on in theatre 1 of the main theatre suite (see figure). The skin of the ankle was incised, a large butterfly fragment of the fibula was wired, the torn jo...

We have recently seen an unusual case of endophthalmitis secondary to Pasteurella multocida infection. Unlike previously reported cases this patient had no previous history of animal bites or scratch wounds. Treatment included subconjunctival, parenteral, and intravitreal administration of ampicillin. Although the eye was sterilised, the patient's vision remained poor owing to the extensive amo...

However some women who choose sterilisation may suffer a neurotic syndrome, which is manifested in the form of pain, depression and loss of libido.1 We undertook a study designed to investigat...

This study tested the hypothesis that exposure to chlorine-sterilised pool water would impair oral nitrate reduction (ONR). ONR was assessed in elite swimmers before and after morning afternoon pool-based training. Nonswimmers were only morning. similar nonswimmers (P = 1.000) unchanged training ≥ 0.341). Therefore, chlorinated does not interfere with ONR. Novelty Exposure swimmers.

INTRODUCTION Sterilisation using peracetic acid (PAA) has been advocated for orthodontic elastic bands. However, cane-loaded elastomeric ligatures can also become contaminated during processing, packaging, and manipulation before placement in the oral cavity and are therefore susceptible, and possible causes, of cross-contamination. AIM To test the hypothesis that 0.25% peracetic acid (PAA), ...

Co-inoculations of the alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants with the associativeand/or the obligate nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Azospirillum brasilense, S; Rhizobium meliloti, R) and/or the vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza fungus (Glomus fasciculatum, M) were evaluated in a pot experiment under controlled conditions. The effect of these beneficial microbes, as single(M, R, S), dual(MR, MS) or multi...

This study aimed to design high-quality and safe spreadable processed cheese with a prolonged shelf life appropriate for logistic support in emergency/crisis situations, foreign missions, and/or state material reserves. Samples dry matter content (DM) of 30–55 g/100 g fat (FDM) 30–50 were produced, hermetically sealed sterilised at 120 °C 40 min. The microbiological, chemical, textural, viscoel...
