Boric acid has been used for over 20 years to preserve urine while in transit for bacteriological examination. It has been suggested that it may be toxic for some urinary pathogens. To investigate this several strains of bacteria and fungi commonly found in urine were exposed to different concentrations of boric acid in nutrient broth. Viable counts were made at the outset and at intervals for ...

quebracho tannin wood adhesive in non formaldehyde approach has low autocondensation rate and needs more press time than formaldehyde-based wood adhesives to produce wood composites. in this study, boric acid was used to increase autocondensation rate of quebracho tannin adhesive to make poplar plywood. the main ingredients of the adhesives include quebracho tannin, naoh, hexamine, boric acid a...

Recently, dynamic approach has been applied to determine the steady state concentrations of multiple ionic species present in complex buffers at equilibrium. Here, we have used the dynamic approach to explicitly model the pH profiles of biologically relevant phosphate buffer and universal buffer (a mixture of three tri-protic acids such as citric acid, boric acid and phosphoric acid). The resul...

Well-dispersed iridium(0) nanoparticles stabilized with the ionic liquid, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium methylsulfonate, [THTdP][MS], have been successfully prepared by reduction of the precursor hydridoiridium carborane, (Ph 3P) 2Ir(H)(7,8- nido-C 2B 9H 11). The iridium nanoparticles were found to be active catalysts for arylborylation, forming boric acids. The activity of the catalyst has bee...

We report 7 infants suffering from seizures induced by chronic boric acid ingestion. The boric acid was given by dipping a soother in a proprietary borax and honey mixture. The babies have remained well since the mixture was withheld.

BACKGROUND Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) remains a challenge to manage in clinical practice. Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that non-albicans Candida spp. are more resistant to conventional antifungal treatment with azoles and are considered as causative pathogens of vulvovaginal candidiasis. METHODS We searched PubMed and Scopus for studies that reported clinical evidence o...

In this study, the effects of boric acid and humate supplementation into hen diets on egg production and quality parameters and blood cholesterol levels were examined. For this aim, totally 160, 40 weeks of age, Hyline-White 98 layers were randomly divided into control and 3 treatment groups each containing 40 birds and 10 replicates (each with 4 birds). There was no boric acid or humate supple...

A high performance thin layer chromatography system (HPTLC) for the separation of vitamin B2 and B12 has been developed. The separation was successfully using a solvent system of methanol, water, ammonia 7.3.1 (V/V) as mobile phase on HPTLC plates impregnated with boric acid. The effect of other mobile phases on the separation of vitamins was also examined. The method is based on different beha...
