The present study investigates how effectively lidocaine ions are transported across a cellophane membrane through the application of either a direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). The cellophane membrane was set on a parallelplate- type acrylic cell with platinum electrodes at both ends, filled with a donor cell of a 1 % aqueous solution of lidocaine and a receptor cell with distill...

The diagnosis of mycotic infections is contingent upon the The most important steps for the successful isolation of proper selection, collection and transport of the appropriate etiological agents of mycoses are proper collection, rapid clinical specimen. An active, ongoing interaction among the transport, prompt and correct processing of the specimens clinician, microbiologist and pathologist ...

PURPOSE The main objective of the study was to formulate and characterize testosterone (TS) solid lipid microparticles (SLM) to be applied as a transdermal delivery system. METHODS Testosterone SLMs were formulated using an emulsion melt homogenization method. Various types and concentrations of fatty materials, namely glyceryl monostearate (GM), glyceryl distearate (GD), stearic acid (SA) an...

The bactericidal activity of combinations of antibiotics have been studied by two methods; in onie, li(quid media are used (Kirby, 1944; Hobby and Dawson, 1946; Price et al., 1949; Bigger, 1950; Bliss et al., 1952; Jones and Finland, 1956) and in the second, solid media are preferred. A simplified method using li(quid media, suggested by Jawetz and co-workers (1955), can be used in the clinical...

Fusarium genus is a wide host phytopathogen causing significant losses in multiple crops, including hops. There limited information on the sustainable management of spp. hop fields. Trichoderma an endophytic fungus used agriculture as biological control agent (BCA) and plant growth promoter. It has been to antagonize other crops. The objective current study was identify indigenous field isolate...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas injection for symptomatic vitreomacular traction (VMT) with or without Stage 2 macular hole (MH). METHODS A retrospective review of eyes with VMT treated with 0.3 mL of C3F8 gas was performed. Patients avoided the supine position until gas resolution. Patients with small MH maintained partial face-down positioning. RESULTS Forty...

Background: Dental proof may provide significant assistance in identifying a victim’s body and determine specific facts thus influencing the investigative procedure. Ameloglyphics or tooth prints symbolizes exceptional differences enlightening distinctive patterns between teeth of unlike individuals same individual, also males females.
 Aim: This novel study was performed to establish fact...

This paper reports the electrical properties of thick lipid membranes in the absence and presence of valinomycin. The thick lipid membranes were formed by placing a solution of sheep red cell lipids in decane between two cellophane partitions which formed the interfaces between the membrane and the two aqueous bathing solutions. The DC electrical resistance of these structures was found to be d...
