to a glaucomatous tendency, partly to a nervous tendency on the part of the patient. The following two cases may be cited:? Case 1.?An adult female patient operated upon on the 24th March, 1925. After cocainising three times with a 10 per cent, solution, I began the operation. As soon as the corneal incision in the right eye was finished the lens came out, accompanied by vitreous and followed b...

A precise implant impression is essential for the passive fit of an implant superstructure. Although digital impressions are becoming more popular, conventional impression techniques are still frequently used. A direct (pick-up) open tray impression technique uses a guide pin. When an implant is deeply placed, the guide pin may not extend through the hole of the open tray. Therefore, wiping off...

This report focuses on the development of a method for chemically induced enhancement of cell elution and recovery from cotton swabs. The method exploits the exclusive use of detergents for intact cell removal, and can be utilized in conjunction with, or to circumvent, conventional differential extraction (DE). Samples treated with Sarkosyl (54.4 +/- 1.8%) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (78.5...

13 samples were collected from phone screens and headphones, the sample was by a cotton swab planted on Petri dishes. A number of fungal species isolated, their reached six types fungi, where most common fungi in Aspergillus, while headphones are Penicillium Aspergillus fungi. In addition to that, highest frequency with an incidence rate 30.76%, headphone Penicillium, 30.76%.

This paper describes the molecular detection of influenza A, influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus using real-time nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) from respiratory samples collected on simple dry cotton swabs, non-invasively and in the absence of transport medium. Viral RNA was detectable on dry cotton and flocked swabs for at least 2 weeks at room...
