Aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from Miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a Clevenger-type apparatus respectively. The extract and volatile oil both were screened for Antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pncumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus pumilis) and...

Background and Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of acetone and ethanolic extracts of Plantago major (P. major) on S. mutans.   Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, the antibacterial effects of eight different concentrations of the acetone and ethanolic extracts of P. major seed were examined on S. mutans, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacte...

Taylor, R. J., and Secor, G. A. 1988. An improved diffusion assay for quantifying the polygalacturonase content of Erwinia culture filtrates. Phytopathology 78:1101-1103. The agar diffusion procedure for quantifying pectolytic enzyme activity punched in the agarose with a # 1 cork borer. After incubation at 37 C for 17 was modified to optimize assay sensitivity and simplify its implementation. ...

Various techniques have been described for first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthrodesis. The purpose of this study was to determine if cup and cone preparation by a single surgeon with an interfragmentary screw and dorsal plate fixation provides a comparable union rate in hallux valgus versus hallux rigidus. Our study included all patients who underwent first MTP joint fusions using cup an...

INTRODUCTION Treatment of femoral neck fractures in young adults may require total hip arthroplasty or hip hemiarthroplasty using a bipolar cup. The latter can, however, result in migration of the femoral head and poor long-term results. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of femoral head migration after hemiarthroplasty performed for femoral neck fracture that had occurred 22 years earlier, w...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a global health crisis, and portion control is a key method for reducing excess body weight. Given consumers' familiarity with large portion sizes, reducing portion sizes can be difficult. Smaller plates are often recommended to reduce portion sizes and appear to reduce portion sizes. However, there are no studies evaluating dishes specifically designed to facilitate porti...

Investigating and understanding the response of microbes to various surfaces requires a versatile parametrisation surface, multiple assays that captures complexity biofilm structures. Here, Staphylococcus aureus viability, polysaccharide poly-N-acetylglucosamine, proteins on cell surface were analysed with agar plate- well plate-based formation assays. Biofilms grown set nanostructured polymeri...
