background and objectives: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is a well-known pathogen with a worldwide distribution. given the increasing rate of mrsa infections, implementing of reliable, accurate and rapid testing for diagnosis of mrsa is necessary. the aim of this study was to compare four diagnostic methods for detection of mrsa isolates. materials and methods: from decembe...

it seems using the maxwell-stefan (m-s) diffusion model in combination with the vacancy solutiontheory (vst) and the single-component adsorption data provides a superior, qualitative, andquantitative prediction of diffusion in zeolites. in the m-s formulation, thermodynamic factor (г) isan essential parameter which must be estimated by an adsorption isotherm. researchers usually utilizethe simp...

according to rapid changes in information age, iranian organizations should move faster toward optimization of e-business. in order to achieve this strategic goal, recent study develops a conceptual model for presenting the factors affecting e-business diffusion (internal integration and external diffusion) based on toe framework. the purpose of this model is examining the influence of technolo...

Orange peel extract solution contains mucilage flavor and three types of glycosides. Limonene is one of the terpenoides in some vegetables, fruits and food; that plays as an antioxidant in juice. As it has anti-microorganism effects on some bacteria, we carried out the antifungal effects of limonene versus orange extract. In the present study the effects of orange extract and two types of limon...

Background and Aim:  Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) is one of the effective bacteria in the formation of caries and periodontal diseases which are caused by dental plaque. Currently, the use of natural honey (NH) is considered as a method of reducing S. sanguinis and S. mutans in saliva, which results in reducing the dental plaque. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects o...

background: methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) has been emerged as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen worldwide. there are many challenges for laboratory detection of mrsa. the aim of this study was to compare different phenotypic methods with pcr based method as a gold standard for detection of meca gene. methods: a total of 220 clinical isolates of s. aureus which we...

ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to determine the diffusion rate of a drug from a semisolid dosage form using different membranes and to explore a membrane and to find out the comparative membrane identical to human skin with respect to diffusion rate of the drug from the selected dosage form. In the present study, Franz cell was used to carry out the diffusion study through fuzzy rat ...
