Antimicrobial agents are added to a wide variety of products such as cosmetics reduce the risk microbial contamination and ensure suitability safety product. However, recent studies have shown that these compounds can negative effects on human health environment. Therefore, it is crucial develop analytical methods control amount in personal care guarantee product quality. This paper presents an...

The thick-shelled river mussel (Unio crassus) is listed as 'Endangered' on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and it important to culture them for conservation natural stocks. Integrating mussels into freshwater aquaculture system could be an efficient method, because their filtering ability. In this study, was aimed determine bacteria filtering ability if water quality got better in ter...

The differential diagnostic work-up of children with chronic eczema should involve patch testing, also in cases with confirmed atopy. In our previous study, contact allergy was detected in every second child with chronic eczema. The aim of the present study was to identify the most important sensitizers in atopic children with eczema. During an allergy screening program, 103 consecutive childre...

Unfortunately, exposure to these substances can cause sensitization. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January and June 2015, we analyzed the ingredients of 2300 products commercially available in Spain to identify the frequency of a wide variety of preservat...

abstract: new mono acid esters have been synthesized from the reaction of benzoic acid and mono-hydroxybenzoic acids with 2-phenoxyethanol separated from urtica pilulifera, characterized, and screened for possible antioxidant, antifungal, antimicrobial and anticancer activities. these phenolic acid esters gave various degrees of free radical scavenging, but the values were lower than that of α-...

A flexible methacrylate powder dressing (Altrazeal®) transforms into a wound contour conforming matrix once in contact with wound exudate. We hypothesised that it may also serve as a drug delivery vehicle for antiseptics. The antimicrobial efficacy and influence on bacterial growth kinetics in combination with three antiseptics was investigated in an in vitro porcine wound model. Standardized i...
