The influence of local factors on the prediction of fumonisin contamination in maize
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2012AbstractBACKGROUND: Contamination by mycotoxins is a major concern to the maize industry in north‐east Italy where maize grain is often spoiled by Fusarium spp. In this work, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone were determined and an artificial neural network (ANN) model suitable for predicting mycotoxin contamination of maize at harvest time ...

Risk factors associated with contamination of orthokeratology lens cases
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2020To evaluate the risk factors associated with contamination of lens cases in a group of orthokeratology (ortho-k) lens wearers.Ortho-k patients attending the Contact Lens Clinic of the Hospital were required to complete a checklist about their routine daily care and handling of lens cases. Their cases were then collected for analysis.

Selective Inactivation of Fibrin Stabilizing Factor Contaminant in Fibrinogen
Nature, 1963THE fibrin stabilizing factor (FSF) is a thermolabile plasma protein which in the presence of calcium converts a loosely cross-linked, urea-soluble fibrin clot (fibrin s) into a urea-insoluble gel (fibrin i)1,2. FSF reacts sto-chiometrically with fibrinogen in the latter's conversion to fibrin3 and requires the presence of free sulphydryl groups for ...

Environmental Contaminants as Risk Factors for Developing Diabetes
Reviews on Environmental Health, 2008The contribution of exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to the incidence of diabetes has received little attention until recently. A number of reports have emerged, however, concerning elevated diabetes in persons occupationally exposed to dioxin.

Factors influencing the contamination of UK banknotes with drugs of abuse
Forensic Science International, 2007Bank of England banknotes sampled from different locations in the UK have been analysed for the presence of cocaine, diamorphine (DAM), Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). A database of the contamination detected is routinely used as a benchmark against which the contamination detected on seized banknotes ...

The Importance of Airborne Contamination as a Factor in Postoperative Wound Infection
Archives of Surgery, 1969Among the factors involved in postoperative wound infection, the effect of airborne contamination in the operating room has been considered of major importance, and substantial efforts have been directed toward minimizing its influence.1-10A unique situation created by an affiliation between two hospitals with identical surgical staff but with markedly

Analysis of predisposing factors for contamination of bone and tendon allografts
Cell and Tissue Banking, 2012Bone and tissue allografts are widely used in transplantation. The increasing demand for safe allografts must be met, while minimizing disease transmission. We analysed the incidence and potential risk factors of allograft contamination and the effectiveness of disinfection, by reviewing 22 years of tissue bank activity and 474 donor procurements.

Abstract : This is the first technical note in a series of four which outlines and describes the principal factors that determine uptake and retention of chemicals by aquatic organisms. The first three notes describe factors related to contaminants, sediment and water, and biota. The fourth note is a glossary and bibliography. The information contained

[Possible contamination of preparation of transfer factor with bacterial endotoxins].
Giornale di batteriologia, virologia ed immunologia, 1977In order to detect the possible contamination with bacterial endotoxins of some preparations of Transfer Factor, Limulus amebocyte lysate test was performed. The results obtained (TF preparations positive with L.T. for endotoxin assay) call sur detection to evaluate very carefully the immunologic responses in vitro ad in vivo, with these biological ...
