Résumé

Clinical swab heads are often coated with biopolymers to improve the recovery and survival of organisms. To assess the effect of swab head material coating, water absorption capacity and capture and release characteristics of four pathogenic bacteria from protein coated and uncoated flocked swabs were determined. Demonstration of no uniformly higher recovery of all test bacteria from coated swabs over their corresponding uncoated swabs suggest importance of physicochemical properties of swab tip material compared with biopolymer coating, for swab selection for clinical applications.

Résumé

Aegle marmelos (Rutaceae) is being used in traditional medicine treatments, such as for intermittent fever, intestinal ailments, fertility control etc. It has been proved to be effective against several major diseases including cancer, diabetis and cardiovascular diseases. Although the plant is a well known male antifertility plant, till today only the crude extracts of the plant were screened for antifertility activity in male rats. The plant is rich in alkaloid content and Aegelenine, Marmeline and Skimmianine, are some of the alkaloids isolated so far, showed variety of pharmacological activities. In view of these facts, in the present study, total alkaloids have been isolated from leaves of A. marmelos and their effect on fertility of adult male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) was investigated. Three different doses 20, 40, 80 mg/kg body weight of total alkaloids were orally administered to mature male albino rats (Wistar strain) of proven fertility (235-2450gr) for 60 days. On day 61, all the animals were sacrificed and the fertility and safety parameters were studied. Weights of all the major reproductive organs, accessory glands and sperm counts were significantly decreased in dose dependent manner suggesting the antifertility activity and serological parameters showed no significant changes in treated animals at the tested dose levels indicating the safety of long-term use of total alkaloidal fraction of A. marmelos.

Résumé

Mycobacterium fortuitum in a rapidly growing atypical mycobacteia, sometimes associated with nosocomial infections in human. These infections are often difficult to identify; and treat even after indentification. We report here a case of chronic post operative wound infection due to M. fortuitum.

Résumé

Over the last decade, liver imaging has experienced a revolution providing a bewildering array of options for detection and characterisation of liver lesions. Cross-sectional imaging modalities like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have improved in speed and resolution, thereby facilitating multiphasic scanning of the liver. The advent of the use of contrast agents for ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging has further paved the way for definitive diagnosis in an attempt to obviate the need for invasive diagnosis. This article captures advances made in ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography and brings the specialist up to date with the latest in liver imaging.

Résumé

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection that most commonly involves the liver. Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis of this disease. Rupture of the cyst can give rise to a wide spectrum of complications. We describe a case of hepatic hydatid cyst with rupture into the biliary tree, right pleural cavity and dissemination into the peritoneal cavity, with associated splenic hydatid cysts. MRI may be a useful non-invasive diagnostic tool in such disseminated cases to define the complete extent of the disease.

Résumé

Changes in biomass yield rates, cell membrane stability (CMS), malondialdehyde (MDA) content and in the levels of physiological stress markers such as proline and glycine betaine in two high yielding genotypes (S1 and ATP, salt tolerant and salt sensitive, respectively) of mulberry under NaCl salinity were studied. Biomass yield rates and CMS were significantly decreased in both the genotypes under stress conditions. Per cent of decrease in biomass yield rate and CMS was relatively less in S1 than in ATP. Salt stress results a significant increase in the accumulation of proline, by 6-fold in S1 and 4-fold in ATP. Glycine betaine content was also increased significantly in stressed plants. However, the per cent increase was more in S1 than in ATP. The level of lipid peroxidation as indicated by MDA formation was greater in ATP than in S1. These results clearly support the better salt tolerant nature of S1 compared to ATP genotype.
