  • (2) This plasmid loss was confirmed by repetitive extractions and electrophoresis, as well as by restriction endonuclease analysis of the ATAB preparations.
  • (3) The content of antithyroid antibodies (AtAb) in the blood of patients with Hashimoto's goiter was studied over time, namely during the treatment with thyroid drugs and after surgical interventions of different scope.
  • (4) These are resolvable by repetitive testing or restriction endonuclease analysis of ATAB-extracted plasmid DNA preparations.

  • (12) Each isolate was subcultured and stored at three different temperatures (-70 degrees C, -20 degrees C, and room temperature) and plasmid DNA was prepared from each subculture at 0, 1, 4, and 8 months by two different methods of plasmid extraction [using mixed alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (ATAB) or Brij 58 and deoxycholate (modified Parisi)].
  • (13) At the beginning of the period, hyperbaric oxygen at 3 ATAB was the standard treatment.
  • (14) The detection rate and AtAb level are higher in fibrocavernous tuberculosis than those in infiltrative tuberculosis.

Kettledrum


Definition:

  • (n.) A drum made of thin copper in the form of a hemispherical kettle, with parchment stretched over the mouth of it.
  • (n.) An informal social party at which a light collation is offered, held in the afternoon or early evening. Cf. Drum, n., 4 and 5.
