Cadaver

Bir et al." have analyzed the effect of blunt ballistic impact of a baton-type, less-lethal projectile on the thoracic region using human cadavers. She determined human-response corridors and developed biomechanical surrogates, which can be used for testing different new projectiles for their blunt ballistic impact. The human-response force corridor for blunt thoracic impact by a thermoplastic polyurethane-based baton round with 37 mm diameter, weighing 30 g, and traveling... 

A different type of physiological study that also influenced the alchemists and which bore an eschatological connotation was Andreas Vesalius De humani corporis fahrica libri septem (Basel Johannes Oporinus, 1543). The intriguing aspect of Vesalian anatomical illustration is the visual ambiguity of tbe cadavers as to whether they are truly dead, or still alive in some manner. In these pictures the bodies appear in various states of dismemberment, giving them the Christ-like pathos of Christian martyrs in painted narratives. Anatomy in...

A triaryl phosphate ester, tributoxyethyl phosphate, was detected at a mean concentration of 11.3 ng/g in 41 of 115 human adipose tissue samples taken from cadavers from Kingston and Ottawa, Canada (LeBel and Williams 1986). Because triaryl phosphate esters have been found in Canadian drinking water and...

Safe Handling of Cadavers Containing Radioactive Isotopes... 

Due to the transitory nature of the NC population within the human IVD, the use of this cell population directly for NP TE applications might not be clinically feasible. Although harvest and expansion of these cells from young cadavers or the use of transgenic animal donors has been suggested as a possible alternative [25], further investigations of such methods are warranted. 

Kamei et al. [45] separated spermine, spermidine, putrescine, and cadav-erine in an ion-pair reversed-phase LC system and detected the hydrogen peroxide formed in the reaction catalyzed by the enzymes putrescine oxidase and polyamine oxidase with POCL. The same analytes were determined in a later study [46], together with the acetyl derivatives. The sensitive determination of uric acid, selectively converted to hydrogen peroxide by uricase, has been investigated by several authors [37, 47],... 

Cadaver poses no significant secondary hazards after decontamination. Use standard burial practices. 

If oiganophosphorus pesticides are involved, then it may be necessary to wash the remains with a 2% sodium hypochlorite bleach solution (i.e., 2 gallons of water for every gallon of household bleach). This concentration of bleach will not affect remains but will neutralize organophosphorus pesticides. Higher concentrations of bleach can harm remains. The bleach solution should remain on the cadaver for a minimum of 5 minutes before rinsing with water. 

Unless the cadaver is coming directly from the scene of an attack (e.g., "anthrax" letter, aerosol release), process the body according to established procedures for handling potentially infectious remains. 

Thoroughly wash the remains with antimicrobial soap and water. Pay particular attention to areas where agent may get trapped, such as hair, scalp, pubic areas, fingernails, folds of skin, and wounds. If deemed appropriate, the cadaver can be treated with a surface disinfectant listed in Section 17.2.2. 

If there is a potential that vectors may be involved, care must be taken to kill any vectors (e.g., lice, fleas) remaining either on the cadaver or residing in fomites. Remove all potentially infested clothing depositing it in a container that will trap and eliminate vectors. Dispose contaminated particles at an appropriate medical waste disposal facility. 

Cannayane et al. (2007) conducted a laboratory experiment to test the pathogenic potential of H. indica and S. glaseri on cardamom root grub, Basilepta fulvicorne. After mortality the cadaver of B. fluvicorni exhibited brick red to brown colour when infested with H. indica and also luminescent under ultraviolet, whereas, yellow and flaccid nature was due to S. glaseri infestation. 

White trap (White 1927) is one of the most common methods to produce entomopathogenic nematodes. Insects are inoculated with entomopathogenic nematodes on a petridish lined with filter paper. After 2-5 days, the infected insects are transferred to the White trap. The White trap consist of an inverted watch glass placed in a petridish on which Whatman paper of appropriate size is placed and moistened with sterilized distilled water. Adequate amount of distilled water is also maintained on and around the watch glass. As the infective juveniles emerge from the cadaver they migrate to the surrounding water and get trapped. The nematodes are harvested from the White trap and collected in a beaker. The concentration of nematodes can be accomplished by...
