    Biosensors have emerged as indispensable tools across various disciplines, facilitating real time monitoring of specific biomolecules. Within this context, a biosensor system integrates alumina, a versatile material, with ascorbate-oxidase, enabling the electrocatalytic detection of ascorbic acid. This study investigates the influence of different alumina types on the electrocatalytic activity of alumina/ascorbate-oxidase biosensors

    In this study, the influence of different fluorescent brightener Cotton cellulose has excellent properties such as good water and moisture absorbability, being comfortable to wear and easy to dye. For these reasons, the apparel industry is predominantly cotton based, and the share of cotton in total fibre consumption is around 50% Cotton is composed almost entirely of cellulose, i.e., 88.0-96% based on the fibre (owf) weight. The impurities in cotton fibre range from 4 to 12% and include protein (1.0-1.9%), wax (0.4-1.2%), ash (inorganic salts) (0.7-1.6%), pectin (0.4-1.2%) and other substances (resins, pigments, hemi-cellulose) (0.5-0.8%) The fluorescent brighteners (FBs) are essentially colorless fluorescent dyes used for whitening textiles and synthetic polymer material

    Background/Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered to be the gold standard for laparoscopic surgical procedures. In ASA III patients with concomitant respiratory diseases, however, creation of pneumoperitoneum and the position of patients during surgery exert additional negative effect on intraoperative respiratory function, thus making a higher challenge for the anesthesiologist than for the surgeon. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) and pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) during general anesthesia on respiratory function in ASA III patients submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods. The study included 60 patients randomized into two groups depending on the mode of ventilation: IPPV or PCV. Respiratory volume (VT), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), compliance (C), end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2), oxygen saturation (SpO2), partial pressures of O2, CO2 (PaO2 and PaCO2) and pH of arterial blood were recorded within four time intervals. Results. There were no statistically significant differences in VT, SpO2, PaO2, PaCO2 and pH values neither within nor between the two groups. In time interval t1 there were no statistically significant differences in PIP, C, PETCO2 values between the IPPV and the PCV group. But, in the next three time intervals there was a difference in PIP, C, and PETCO2 values between the two groups which ranged from statistically significant to highly significant; PIP was lower, C and PETCO2 were higher in the PCV group. Conclusion. Pressure controlled ventilation better maintains stability regarding intraoperative ventilatory parameters in ASA III patients with concomitant respiratory diseases during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
