Evaluation of barrier creams against sulphur mustard
(2002)The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a range of passive and reactive barrier cream formulations against the chemical war-fare agent sulphur mustard (SM) using an in vitro diffusion cell system ... -
Diversity of Burkholderia isolates from woodland rhizosphere environments
(2002-10)Aims: Determination of genetic diversity among UK Burkholderia cepacia isolates from various environmental niches, principally woodland tree rhizospheres and onions. Methods and Results: Genus determination was made using ... -
Automated external defibrillation in cardiac surgery
(2002-12)Revision open heart surgery may be impeded by a dense network of pericardial adhesions rendering cardiac mobilization laborious or incomplete, and internal defibrillation impossible. External defibrillation, the current ... -
Safety, risk, and danger : A new dynamic perspective

In vivo evaluation of novel hyaluronan/chitosan microparticulate delivery systems for the nasal delivery of gentamicin in rabbits
(2002-01)Biodegradable microparticles containing gentamicin were prepared using chitosan hydroglutamate (CH), hyaluronic acid (HA) and a combination Of both polymers by a solvent evaporation method. These formulations were administered ... -
An in vitro technique for evaluating inhaled nasal delivery systems
(2002)This report describes a novel technique for delivering aerosols to the surface of respiratory epithelial cells cultured tit an air-liquid interface. A model microsphere formulation for nasal delivery was aerosolised using ... -
Aspects on the attachment of Pasteuria penetrans on root-knot nematodes
(2002)Variability in spore attachment of the bacterial parasite Pasteuria penetrans to second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita populations originating from different locations were recorded. Culture of ... -
Fractalkine is expressed by smooth muscle cells in response to IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and is modulated by metalloproteinase activity
(2002-01-15)Fractalkine/CX3C-chemokine ligand 1 is expressed as a membrane-spanning adhesion molecule that can be cleaved from the cell surface to produce a soluble chemoattractant. Within the vasculature, fractalkine is known to be ... -
Detection of airborne fungal spores sampled by rotating-arm and Hirst-type spore traps using polymerase chain reaction assays
(2002-02)Conventional methods for detecting airborne fungal spores rely on either optical identification or culturing and can be time consuming or unreliable. A method for purifying DNA from conventional spore samplers and detecting ... -
Dimethicone barrier cream prevents infection of human skin by Schistosome cercariae : Evidence from Franz cell studies
(2002-04)One approach to the prevention of schistosomiasis is the use of topical formulations to inhibit cercalial penetration of skin. A number of formulations containing either cercaricidal ingredients or components designed to ... -
Tropospheric aerosol layers after a cold front passage in January 2000 as observed at several stations of the German Lidar Network
(2002-07)Using the German Lidar Network, we analysed 2 years of lidar observations of aerosol layers. Here we report in particular on a cold front event in January 2000 with Rayleigh/Mie/Raman lidar measurements taken both in the ... -
Inversion with regularization for the retrieval of tropospheric aerosol parameters from multiwavelength lidar sounding
(2002-06-20)We present an inversion algorithm for the retrieval of particle size distribution parameters, i.e., mean (effective) radius, number, surface area, and volume concentration, and complex refractive index from multiwavelength ... -
Dual-wavelength Raman lidar observations of the extinction-to-backscatter ratio of Saharan dust
(2002-05-01)[1] For the first time, height profiles of the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) of desert dust particles were simultaneously measured at 355 and 532 nm. The observations were performed with an advanced Raman ... -
Clinical pharmacy practice : Implications for pharmacy education in Belgium
(2002-06-01)Belgian hospital pharmacy practice is in a process of transition, with the clinical role of the pharmacist being progressively developed. Knowledge and skills specific to clinical pharmacy (CP) will be required in the ... -
Transgenic Plant Monitor (TPM) : a relational database for the management and analysis of information in plant tissue culture and transformation laboratories
(2003-02)Increased public concern and strict statutory regulations relating tothe generation and exploitation of genetically modified organisms, make itimperative to track accurately individual plants through DNA transformationprogrammes. ... -
The origin of elliptical galaxies inferred from their metallicity gradients
(2003-04)We simulate the chemodynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies using our GRAPE-SPH code. We succeed in reproducing the observed variety of the radial metallicity gradients, from which we discuss the origin of elliptical galaxies. -
Strategic management of marketing and human resources in further education colleges
(2003-05)The business environment facing UK colleges of further education has changed substantially over the past decade. Public accountability has increased and competitive pressures within the sector have grown enormously. These ...
