stain to routine histological examination of placenta

During six consecutive months, seven patients admitted to our ICU (15 beds, general ICU, approximately 300 intubated patients per year) for acute respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation pre-sented with a peculiar neuromuscular disorder. After the occurrence of this cluster group of patients, we de-tected two more similar but isolated cases in the following 18 months, ie, altogether 9 patients in 2 years of observation, or 1.55 percent of all intubated patients in our ICU. Sedation was achieved using midazolam, curarization was effected with the neuromuscular non-depolarizing agent pancuronium bromide (PB), and corticosteroids were administered to eight patients. Shortly after discontinuation of sedation and curariza-tion, we observed a persistent tetraparetic syndrome

Sea lice infections are a major concern for salmonid aquaculture operations. Laboratory models have been established to examine interactions between sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as part of an effort to develop alternate strategies for sea lice control. We

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the histometrical and histological structures of goose (Anser anser) spleen. Six healthy female geese were used as material. Tissue samples taken from the spleen were processed routinely, and were then stained with H&E, Crossman’s Triple stain
