Flow-injection analysis for on-line monitoring of nutrients (ammonia and nitrite) in aquaculture
This article describes photometric flow injection (FI) methods for
the determination of ammonia and nitrite in aquaculture. The
methods are based on the use of normal and reversed FI approaches
and show the potential of this technique for monitoring the input
and output streams of small tanks at young fish-breeding farms.
The methods meet the requirements of fish hatcheries, particularly in
terms of the high sampling rate allowable (40/h)
Unsegmented flow approach for on-line monitoring of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and determination of nitrite and ammonia in aquaculture
A fully automated flow system for on-line monitoring of
analytes/parameters of interest in aquaculture is described. The
approach has been optimized for the photometric determination of
nitrite and ammonia and the continuous monitoring of pH,
conductivity and dissolved oxygen, but these analytes/parameters
are readily changeable as required. The system has been tested by
monitoring these species in the input and output sea water streams
of tanks at a fish breeding farm and also by monitoring water
containing high concentrations of fish feed

Use of an experimental model to evaluate infection resistance of meshes in abdominal wall surgery
Background: Staphylococcal species are the most common organisms causing prosthetic mesh infections, however, infections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria are increasing. This study evaluates the resistance of biomaterial for abdominal wall prostheses against the development of postoperative infection in a rat model. Material and methods: In 75 rats, we intramuscularly implanted three different types of prostheses: (1) low-density polypropylene monofilament mesh (PMM), (2) high-density PMM, and (3) a composite prosthesis composed of low-density PMM and a nonporous hydrophilic film. Meshes were inoculated with a suspension containing 108 colony-forming units of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Mycobacterium fortuitum, or Mycobacterium abscessus before wound closure. Animals were sacrificed on the eighth day postoperatively for clinical evaluation, and the implants were removed for bacteriologic analyses. Results: Prostheses infected with S aureus showed a higher bacterial viability, worse integration, and clinical outcome compared with infection by other bacteria. Composite prostheses showed a higher number of viable colonies of both M fortuitum and Staphylococcus spp., with poorer integration in host tissue. However, when the composite prosthesis was infected with M abscessus, a lower number of viable bacteria were isolated and a better integration was observed compared with infection by other bacteria. Conclusions: Considering M abscessus, a smaller collagen-free contact surface shows better resistance to infection, however, depending on the type of bacteria, prostheses with a large surface, and covered with collagen shows reduced resistance to infection, worse integration, and worse clinical outcome.
