El "gas de cocina", como se conoce popularmente el gas licuado de petróleo a raíz de su utilización principal para la cocción de alimentos, es una de las fracciones más ligeras del petróleo, y su quema es muy limpia, con bajísima emisión de contaminantes. Debido a estas características, se lo utiliza en ambientes cerrados, como en la cocina de su casa, o en aplicaciones industriales sensibles a contaminantes, como en la fabricación de vidrios, cerámicas y alimentos. ¿Pero es gas o es líquido? En condiciones atmosféricas normales, se lo encuentra en la forma gaseosa. Sin embargo, desde el proceso de producción hasta el envasado en las garrafas de acero, se lo mantiene en la forma líquida, bajo presión. 2, record 3, Spanish, - gas%20de%20cocina

No se debe confundir "gas de cocina" con "gas licuado de petróleo". La composición del "gas de cocina" dependerá de lo que se abastezca como gas para cocinar en los diferentes países. En muchos lugares se utiliza el "gas licuado de petróleo", una mezcla de propano y butano --y de allí la posible confusión--, mientras que otros distribuyen gas natural, que es mayormente metano. La distribución del gas de cocina puede ser por red o por garrafa y, según el sistema empleado, la composición también puede cambiar. 3, record 3, Spanish, - gas%20de%20cocina

Fibrinolytic enzymes, particularly streptokinase, are now widely used to treat empyema thoracis. Recent in vitro evidence suggests that streptokinase has no effect on pus viscosity but that deoxyribonuclease (DNase) reduces the viscosity of pus. We report the first use of human recombinant DNase given intrapleurally to treat an empyema which had not resolved after standard treatment with streptokinase. 2, record 5, English, - recombinant%20human%20deoxyribonuclease

There have been no controlled studies to test the efficacy of tissue plasminogen activator(tPA) or recombinant human deoxyribonuclease(rhDNase) in the treatment of empyema. In vitro studies show that streptokinase without rhDNase does not liquefy empyemic material from rabbits. However, the combination of streptokinase and streptodornase and rhDNase have been shown to liquefy pus in vitro. 1, record 5, English, - recombinant%20human%20deoxyribonuclease
