background: to determine the efficacy of different antiseptic solutions (control group (i), antibiotic solution (ii), chlorhexidine 0.4% (iii), and povidone – iodine 10% (iv)) in sterilizing contaminated osteochondral plugs. methods: under sterile conditions, the femoral head and condyles of 20 rabbits were removed and cut into equal osteochondral pieces. a total of 200 osteochondral specimens ...

Plasma is one of the most researched fields. Its use as a sterilizer is being rapidly explored. Thus, in this process it has become necessary to understand the effect of UV radiation produced due to plasma. The goal for our project is to measure the levels of ultraviolet radiation plasma creates and then compare the result with the safety standards of UV radiation individuals can be exposed to....

OBJECTIVE To study the sterilizing effect and mechanism of electrolyzed-oxidizing water (EOW) and electrolyzed-reductive water (ERW) for Bacillus subtilis var. niger (ATCC9372) and Escherichia coli (8099). METHODS The generations of EOW and ERW were made in the ion membrane electrolysis cell. The sterilization manner was the suspension quantitative germicidal test. RESULTS The killing rate ...

A self-sterilizing inoculating loop consisting of a step-down transformer and an adjustable timing circuit are described.

introduction: careful planning on health care may prevent the spread of disease and reduce the expense for treatment. regarding the importance of health care in the clinical centers including physiotherapy clinics, this study was designed to investigate the rate of bacterial contamination of electrotherapy’s pads which use in the physiotherapy clinics of semnan university of medical sciences (i...

Attempts to link physiological thermal tolerance global species distributions have relied on lethal temperature limits, yet many organisms lose fertility at sublethal temperatures. Here we show that, across 43 Drosophila species, better match male-sterilizing temperatures than This suggests that may be determined by limits reproduction, not survival, meaning underestimating the impacts of clima...
