## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the correlation between the ‘smallest fluid depth’ (SFD) measured on sonography (US) at the ‘paracentesis pocket’ with the amount of fluid drained in patients referred for US‐guided large‐volume paracentesis. ## Methods US examinations performed to guide 60
## Abstract The growth of presomite mouse embryos in culture was studied using mouse Ehrlich ascites tumor fluid and bovine serum albumin as supplements to the tissue culture medium. The best development was observed with a mixture of 10–20% ascites fluid and 2% bovine serum albumin. During 48 h of
