We present a simple and efficient protocol for the generation of human macrophages. Buffy coats are processed by double density gradient centrifugation and isolated monocytes are then differentiated to macrophages in Teflon-coated cell culture bags. This maximizes macrophage yields and facilitates cell harvesting for subsequent experiments.

Entomopathogenic fungi have gained importance as the biological control agents of agricultural insect pests. In this study, the mass production of a sufficient number of resilient infective propagules of South African isolates of both Metarhizium robertsii and M. pinghaense for commercial application against insect pests was successfully conducted using agricultural grain products.
FAQs
Its flexibility allows the covering to accommodate abdominal edema and increased intra-abdominal volume instead of forcing an immediate, high-tension closure. The sheet therefore maintains protection of exposed viscera while reducing tension on the abdominal wall during a period when swelling or the patient’s critical condition makes definitive closure unsafe.
Leaving the abdomen temporarily covered allows clinicians to avoid placing closure tension across swollen tissues. This matters because the method is intended for situations in which the abdomen cannot be safely closed immediately. By accommodating changing volume, the covering supports ongoing critical care while the patient’s condition and abdominal swelling are reassessed.
Unlike definitive closure, a Bogota Bag keeps the abdomen temporarily accessible after the initial operation. That arrangement can facilitate planned reoperation and allow monitoring of abdominal contents, which is particularly relevant when clinicians must reassess the abdomen after trauma, infection, or major surgery before attempting final closure.
The technique uses a sterile, flexible plastic sheet, often fashioned from an irrigation bag or intravenous fluid bag. Surgeons place it over the abdominal contents and secure it to the abdominal wall, creating a temporary protective covering. The material’s flexibility is important because it can accommodate edema and increased intra-abdominal volume during critical care.
Use is described in critical care when immediate abdominal closure is unsafe, including settings involving trauma, infection, or major surgery. It may also be selected when surgeons anticipate a planned reoperation or need to monitor abdominal contents. The approach therefore serves as a temporary bridge until swelling decreases and the patient becomes suitable for definitive closure.
Definitive closure follows improvement in both abdominal swelling and the patient’s overall condition. Until those factors improve, the temporary covering continues to protect the viscera while accommodating increased volume and supporting reassessment. This staged strategy avoids treating temporary protection as the final repair and links closure timing to clinical recovery rather than an immediate timetable.
