INTRODUCTION During recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of nanoemulsion as a drug-carrier system for topical delivery. A nanoemulsion is a transparent mixture of oil, surfactant and water with a very low viscosity, usually the product of its high water content. The present study investigated the modification of nanoemulsions with different hydrocolloid gums, to enhanced dru...

For many years the positive effect of hydrocolloid dressings on skin-related conditions attracted the attention of the medical scientific community. The use of Acne Dressing, a tape of hydrocolloid dressing, for the treatment of acne has not been reported previously. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and beneficial effect of Acne Dressing on the marker for sebum output...

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effect adding nanoparticles with different concentrations into irreversible hydrocolloid impression materials. Materials and Methods: This evaluated MgO ZrO2 by Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) minimum fungicidal (MFC) using Agar-Well diffusion method after incorporation material. Results: results showed that MIC MFC magnesium oxi...

BACKGROUND Pressure sores are important and common complications of spinal cord injury. Many preventive and therapeutic approaches have been tried and new trials are evolving. One relatively recent method is application of a hydrocolloid dressing (HD). In this study we compared the therapeutic effects of HD on pressure ulcer healing with two other topical applications, phenytoin cream (PC) and ...
