Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure that allows the physician to diagnose and treat problems in the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract. The doctor uses a long, flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope. The endoscope is guided through the patient's mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The doctor can examine the inside of these organs and detect abnormalities.
Onions are transported in wide-meshed jute fabric or plastic bags, crates, boxes, cartons, baskets or fruit crates. Small-meshed bags are unsuitable for transport due to their low permeability to air.
Compatible produce for long distance transport. Produce in the same temperature section can be mixed safely. Ethylene-sensitive vegetables should not be mixed with ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables. Dry vegetables can be mixed with other fruits and vegetables on trips lasting less than about one week. Notes: 1 Odors from apples and pears are absorbed by cabbage, carrots, celery, figs, onions, and potatoes. 2 Avocado odor is absorbed by pineapple.
