A pus

The formed colloidal gel also produces a sorption gradient for soluble components within the serous exudate thereby allowing the removal of toxic compounds arising from bacterial or cellular destruction. However, during use, the dressing in contact with the wound liquefies to produce a pus-like liquid with a somewhat strong odor. 

Passes a pus-like discharge per urethra and has penile sores. 

To determine the number of samples required to achieve an experimental standard deviation (S) equal to or less than the Poisson distribution standard deviation (a), a 1 cc/sec gas flow rate and four minute samples were used. The particles were generated with a PUS, Inc. particle generator model PG-100, providing a particle count of 2000 partlcles/ft or greater.

It is widely known that a polyester segment with a molecular weight of about 2 000 confer optimum properties to a PUs. Below this level the elastomers may become too weak, while above this level they may tend to undergo crystallization while being stored. As shown by others [4] and by us in section 1.2.4., because the ester groups in particular form strong attractions to urethane groups by means of...

The Cold War is Bond s deadly other, and it manifests itself as the inverse of those virtues that dehne Bond s moral universe. Moonrakefs Hugo Drax is a pus-filled rotter, and his rottenness isn t so much defined by the fact that he s building a rocket that will kill hundreds of thousands, but by the fact that he (Shudder ) cheats at cards at the Blades Club, grinning... 

Tempeh. DehuUed cooked soybeans are inoculated with the mold, Thi pus oligosporus packed in perforated plastic bags, and allowed to ferment for 18 h. The mold mycelium overgrows the soybean cotyledons and forms a compact cake. When sHced and deep-fried in oil, a crisp and golden brown product is obtained. Although native to Indonesia, tempeh has become popular with vegetarians in the United States and other Western countries (93). 

In the very early phases of the acute inflammatory response most of the cells invading the damaged area are polymorphonuclear neutrophils, also denoted as PMNs, which serve as initial line of defense and source of proinflammatory cytokines. These cells, which usually live for 4-5 days, circulate in the blood until they are attracted by chemokines into injured tissues. Whereas physical injury does not recruit many neutrophils, infections with bacteria or fungi elicit a striking neutrophil response. The characteristic pus of a bacterial abscess is composed mainly of apoptotic (apoptosis) and necrotic PMNs. Emigration of neutrophils from the blood starts with a process denoted as margination where neutrophils come to lie at the periphery of flowing blood cells and adhere to endothelial cells (Fig. 1). L-Selectin is expressed... 

A topical enzyme aids in the removal of dead soft tissues by hastening the reduction of proteins into simpler substances. This is called proteolysis or a proteolytic action. The components of certain types of wounds, namely necrotic (dead) tissues and purulent exudates (pus-containing fluid), prevent proper wound healing. Removal of this type of debris by application of a topical enzyme aids in healing. Examples of conditions that may respond to application of a topical enzyme include second- and third-degree bums, pressure ulcers, and ulcers caused by peripheral vascular disease An example of a topical enzyme is collagenase (Santyl).

The polyether-PDMS soft segments in segmented polyurea-urethanes have been synthesized to combine the good mechanical properties of PUs and the excellent blood-contacting properties of PDMS. The most widely recognized material in this category is Avcothane [Arkles BC, Med Device Diagn Ind 3 30(1981)], which is characterized as a block copolymer of aromatic polyether urethane and PDMS. 

Most patients have a mixture of non-in-flamed and inflamed lesions. Inflamed lesions can be superficial or deep, and arise from non-inflamed lesions. The superficial lesions are usually papules and pustules (5 mm or less in diameter), and the deep lesions are large pustules and nodules. Papules are small, raised, red spots, while pustules are predominantly yellow (Figs. 11.3,11.4). Pustules frequently start as solid lesions, like papules, which soon liquefy. Usually, the roof of the pustule bursts, allowing the pus to escape. The pustule represents a par-... 

Before demolishing the old chemistry building on its c pus, a university called in a disposal service to get rid of old chemicals stored here and there. While this was not cheap, it was felt to be the safest and most efficient way to handle what could have been a potentially hazardous situation.
