conclusions our work suggested that pomegranate (punica granatum l.) peel has potential antifungal activity against candidiasis, and it is an attractive option for the development of new management strategies for candidiasis. results maximum inhibitions were attributed to peel extract of the pomegranate cultivar against candida species. the greatest antifungal inhibition among the eight differe...

introduction: recent studies suggest that glucocorticoids modulate memory reconsolidation. moreover, cholinergic system is involved in memory reconsolidation. since glucocorticoids interact with brain cholinergic system in modulating memory processing, we investigated whether glucocorticoid influences on the reconsolidation of emotionally arousing training depend on the cholinergic system. meth...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that the genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes are prevalent in a. baumannii isolates in the study region, which highlighted the necessity of considering preventive measures to control dissemination of these resistance genes. results antimicrobial susceptibility analysis showed that the highest resistance was towards beta−lactam antibiot...

conclusions in conclusion, the suspension containing veegum 1%, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose 1%, glycerine 0.2%, sodium citrate 0.3% and sorbitol 20 % was chosen as the most physically stable formulation. results according to the results, glycerin (0.2%) and sodium citrate (0.3%) had the best effect on the suspension stability as wetting and flocculating agents, respectively. rheological pro...

background: escherichia coli o157:h7 is a gram-negative and facultative anaerobic food-borne bacterial pathogen. the major purpose of this study was to evaluate physicochemical characteristics of nanoliposome garlic essential oil (eo) and its antibacterial effect on e. coli o157:h7. methods: nanoliposome garlic eo was prepared by ethanol injection method and its physicochemical properties were ...

background and purpose: candida species constitute an important group of opportunistic fungi, which cause various clinical diseases. considering the resistance of some candida species to conventional antifungal agents, treatment of such cases may be challenging and complicated. the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal activities of euphorbia macroclada latex and fluc...

background patients with intellectual disabilities may be treated with antipsychotic medications for a variety of diagnoses. use of this category of medication can increase prolactin levels and place the patient at risk for sexual dysfunction and lower bone mineral density. the proposed mechanism of action is affinity for the dopamine receptor. use of bromocriptine, a dopamine receptor antagoni...

administration of apomorphine and amphetamine induces climbing behavior in mice due to stimulation of brain dopamine receptors. in the present study, the effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced climbing have been investigated. intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of amphetamine (2,4 and 8 mglkg) induced climbing in mice (p
