During the course of experimental work on leprous patients in Hawaii, Dr. Eric Fennel observed a relationship between the thymol turbidity and cephalin-ehoiesteroi tests, the albumin: globulin ratio and the degree of skin involvement in the cases he studied. He made observations on 25 cases and included some of his fi ndings in a report on the thymol turbidity test (4), but he felt that they we...

thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. to increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (hpmc) and ethyl cellulose (ec) were used as the matrix polymer here. mixtures of thymol with eight ...

The species Lippia sidoides Cham. (Verbenaceae) is utilized in popular medicine as a local antiseptic on the skin and mucosal tissues. Enterococcus faecalis is the bacterium isolated from root canals of teeth with persistent periapical lesions and has the ability to form biofilm, where it is responsible for the failure of endodontic treatments. Essential oil of L. sidoides (EOLS) and its major ...

The major components of oregano and thyme essential oils that had previously been shown to inhibit Escherichia coli O157:H7 were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection and liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry. The MICs and MBCs of carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene, and gamma-terpinene against a strain of E. coli O157: H7 phage type 34 isolated from bovine fe...

An< accurate, stable and very fast corner finder (for feature based vision) has been developed', based on a novel definition of corners, using:no image derivatives. This note describes the algorithm and the results obtained from its use.

A new approach for estimating local basicities/acidities of groups exposed on crystal surfaces was formulated and validated. The model, constructed within a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) framework, allowed the expression of the protonic properties of amine and sulfonamide groups as functions of simple molecular descriptors of geometric types. This enabled the application o...

In this study, thymol was covalently connected to mesoporous silica nanomaterial by a post-grafting method obtain stable antibacterial system, thus overcoming the volatilization of thymol, prolonging effective time action, and enhancing efficiency thymol. It proposed for first that such synthetic route be adopted synthesize silica-based mesoporous/essential oil materials. The could capable reta...

A model for computing image ow in image sequences containing a very wide range of instantaneous ows is proposed. This model integrates the spatio-temporal image derivatives from multiple temporal scales to provide both reliable and accurate instantaneous ow estimates. The integration employs robust regression and automatic scale weighting in a generalized brightness constancy framework. In addi...

objective(s):drug delivery through the skin can transfer therapeutic levels of drugs for pharmacological effects. analgesics such as nsaids have gastrointestinal side effects and topical dosage forms of these drugs are mainly preferred, especially for local pains. meloxicam is one of nsaids with no topical form in the market. in this research, we attempted to quantify the skin permeation of a m...

Thymol is a plant-derived natural compound with antimicrobial activity. However, we have little knowledge about the application of thymol in agriculture. One limitations high volatility and low aqueous solubility thymol. Tomato gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea one most devastating postharvest diseases. In this study, prepared nano-emulsion (named as Nano-Thy) to form stable O/W (oil water) ...
