Effect of some plant extracts against damping-off disease of some winter vegetable was studied in the net house. Seed treatment with neem leaf, garlic clove, allamonda leaf, ginger rhizome, kalijira seed, bel leaf, turmeric rhizome, katamehedi leaf and onion bulb were evaluated against damping-off, seed germination and growth characters of tomato, eggplant and chilli seedlings. All the treatmen...

A study was carried out to investigate the potential of using aqueous infusion, decoction and essential oil of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) as natural antibacterial agents against 100 isolates belonging to 10 different species of Gram –ve bacilli viz., Escherichia coli (36), Proteus mirabilis (6), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10), Enterobacter aerogenes (5), Klebsiella ozaenae (2), Klebsiella pneumon...

In fact, cervical cancer is one of the most common carcinomas in the world among women and is highly radioresistant and chemo-resistant. For locally advanced disease, radiation is mixed with low-dose chemotherapy; however, this modality often results in severe toxicity. Prevention of cancer through dietary intervention recently has received an increasing interest, and dietary agents have not on...

The extracts of 17 spices commonly used in Egypt as food condiments were screened for their antimicrobial activities against 7 standard microbial strains (S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. typhi, C. albicans and A. niger). Among the tested alcoholic extracts only 3 (clove, thyme and cinnamon) showed broad spectrum antimicrobial activities. Garlic juice too showed broad spectrum...

BACKGROUND The choices of suture methods used to secure the end of a small-caliber tendon with a combination of suture materials passing through and looping around the tendon are not well documented. A secure stitch-tendon unit may be an important factor in preserving muscle function, by facilitating healing without gapping or failure. METHODS Five types of suture methods utilizing four or fe...

The gold spot mullet fry, mean length of 1.30 0.048 cm and mean weight of 0.05 0.007 g were collected from coastal creeks of Ratnagiri (Maharashtra, India) and then acclimatized to 20 ppt salinity. They were observed for the response to the two anaesthetics: Clove oil and Sodium bicarbonate. Effective dosage of both the anaesthetics viz. clove oil and sodium bicarbonate for the induction and re...

The antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity of four commercial essential oils (EOs) (thyme, clove, rosemary, and tea tree) from Romanian production were studied in order to assess them as bioactive compounds for active food packaging applications. The chemical composition of the oils was determined with the Folin-Ciocâlteu method and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry...
