the coccyx or sacrum. Frequent bouts of diarrhea make it difficult to care for these ulcers and healing is often impeded. Can you provide guidelines on managing diarrhea? A: Diarrhea is characterized by frequent loose or liquid stool. If stool contaminates a pressure ulcer, treating and healing the wound may be more difficult. Prompt and effective treatment of diarrhea involves a multidisciplin...

Aspergillus flavus infects both plants and humans and contaminates diverse agricultural crops with aflatoxins, highly carcinogenic fungal metabolites. We describe 24 microsatellite markers developed to assess genetic diversity and recombination within and between three vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of Aspergillus flavus. These loci are polymorphic within at least one VCG or between VCG...

To develop a robust classification algorithm in the adversarial setting, it is important to understand the adversary’s strategy. We address the problem of label flips attack where an adversary contaminates the training set through flipping labels. By analyzing the objective of the adversary, we formulate an optimization framework for finding the label flips that maximize the classification erro...

the midst of raw sewage. In 2001, The EPA also found itself in trouble after declaring Ground Zero air clear, soon after the September 11th attacks. Local officials later heaped criticism on the EPA for that call. Even though the air was within normal limits, noxious dust coated buildings — and poorly protected cleaning crews were sent in to clean up that mess after the EPA’s all-clear. It’s al...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is commonly used as a hyper-accumulator for phytoextraction of heavy metals from soil and water. Like many other heavy metals, lead (Pb) contaminates soil, water and air and thus it is a great problem. This study was conducted to investigate toxic effects of Pb on growth and nutrient uptake in four canola cultivars. Each of four cultivars of canola (Con-II, Con-III, L...

Considerable confusion exists about the clinical use of exhaled nitric oxide measurement in general, and its bronchial and alveolar contributions in particular, for instance in response to treatment. An additional effect needs to be factored in when considering the degree of alveolar nitric oxide abnormality and its response to therapeutic interventions that may or may not be targeted to the lu...

It has been the experience of this laboratory that the lead hydroxide stain of Watson (1) gives excellent results in increasing contrast in thin sections of tissue, but that the stain is inconvenient to use because on contact with air it forms an insoluble precipitate which contaminates both the stored solution and the sections. 1 Contamination introduced in transferring the solution from the s...

Due to the increase in population density, waste and its by-products produced by industry, housing, agriculture have increased. Waste accumulation causes several environmental problems contaminates natural resources such as air, soil, water. Moreover, it threatens human public health increases number of epidemics medical pandemics. The percentage organic daily. Almost 60% collected from housing...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can spread to the environment through several routes and persist for a more extended period. Therefore, we reviewed pertinent literature understand transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology emerging variants concern (VOCs) in environment, their inactivation strategies, impact COVID-19 on ecosystem. The fallouts studies ...
