The single-cell gel assay (comet assay) is a very useful microelectrophoretic technique for evaluation of DNA damage and repair in individual cells. Usually, the comets are visualized and evaluated with fluorescent DNA ...

Background Campylobacter is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, but sensitive diagnostic methods such as culture are expensive and often not available in resource limited settings. Therefore, direct staining ...

Regardless the materials properties, the vast majority of ceramic restorations could require an individualization through the extrinsic staining to improve aesthetics. This study aimed to compare the staining wear durability ...

The most accepted method for staining arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) in vascular plants has been one proposed by Phillips & Hayman in 1970. In particular, for the study of AM in bryophytes (s.l.) [Anthocerotophyta, Bryophyta ...

Viral, bacterial, and fungal infections are frequently encountered in clinical practice, resulting in numerous cutaneous manifestations. Although diagnosis of these infections has changed over time because of technological ...

Morphological analysis of the sperm cells were accomplished from 19 stallions comparing six different techniques (DIC, Karras, Eosin-Nigrosin, Dip Quick 5′, Dip Quick modified, Dip Quick) in order to verify the possibility ...

The present dissertation aimed to characterize the effect of pre- (shading) and/or post- (staining) sintering pigmentation techniques to provide a Vita Classical A2 color on the mechanical properties of a 4YSZ ceramic (IPS ...

Interpretation errors may still represent a limiting factor for diagnosing Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts with the conventional staining techniques. Humans and machines can interact to solve this problem. We developed a new ...
