This article explores the potential benefits and challenges of using amniotic membrane in surgical procedures. Amniotic membranes have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-scarring, antimicrobial properties, which can promote wound healing tissue regeneration. They be utilized a variety settings, including ophthalmology, plastic surgery, orthopedics. However, use also poses certain lim...

background and objectives: adhesion and colonization are prerequisites for the establishment of bacterial pathogenesis. the biofilm development of pseudomonas aeruginosa was assessed on adhesive surfaces like dialysis membrane, stainless steel, glass and polystyrene. materials and methods: microtiter plate biofilm assay was performed to assess the effect of nutrient medium and growth parameters...

in this study, we investigated the antifungal effects of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) on candida albicans (atcc 5027), saccharomyces cerevisiae (atcc 5027). investigating method by using minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) technique, some of drugs including amphotericin b, fluconazole and synthesized ag-nps have been obtained on the fungi and the changes on membrane reactions of yeasts have...

in this study the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was investigated in a simulated tubular sodalite membrane reactor. the high quality microporous sodalite membrane was synthesized by direct hydrothermal method and characterized by single gas permeation measurements. the performance of the prepared membrane showed high potential for application in a dehydrogenation membrane ...

the present paper explores the impact of an on-board hydrogen harvesting system (fuel reformer) on the overall efficiency of a fuel-cell powered vehicle. various methods of hydrogen production for automotive applications have been discussed first. as the hydrogen production is one of the major challenges for application of proton exchange membrane (pem) fuel cells, especially in vehicular indus...
