Published: April 1991

Resection of a continuous layer of tissue by means of Mohs' micrographic surgery is problematic at several periorbital sites. We describe a technique in which methylene blue is used to identify instances of incomplete specimen removal and thus facilitate subsequent complete removal.

Background The emergence of treatment-resistant species has highlighted the importance of antifungal susceptibility testing as it is difficult to determine therapeutics solely based on species identification. However, as compared to bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial susceptibility testing in fungi still remains underutilized in most clinical diagnostic microbiological services. The disc diffusion (DD) technique is reported to be easy and cost-effective and therefore can be easily incorporated as a routine method.

Vasoplegia in Heart, Lung, or Liver Transplantation: A Narrative Review.

Vasoplegia is a pathophysiologic state of hypotension in the setting of normal or high cardiac output and low systemic vascular resistance despite euvolemia and high-dose vasoconstrictors. Vasoplegia in heart, lung, or liver transplantation is of particular interest because it is common (approximately 29%, 28%, and 11%, respectively), is associated with adverse outcomes, and because the agents used to treat vasoplegia can affect immunosuppressive and other drug metabolism. This narrative review discusses the pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatment of vasoplegia in patients undergoing heart, lung, and liver transplantation.

In this study, we report the modification of a monolithic γ-aluminum oxy-hydroxide (γ-AlOOH) aerogel with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) using the sol-gel method via supercritical drying. The optimized 2% CNF (w/w) results in a monolithic CNF-γ-AlOOH that is amorphous in nature, along with C-C and C-O-C functional groups. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the as-synthesized CNF-γ-AlOOH showed CNF embedded in the γ-AlOOH aerogel.

The use of eggshells as a primary source for developing value-added materials has garnered significant attention in recent years due to their effectiveness as an excellent adsorbent and support. In this study, the Solid-State Dispersion (SSD) method was utilized to prepare composite photocatalysts of eggshells (ES)/TiO₂ in various ratios. TiO₂ and eggshell photocatalysts were also employed as control samples.
