Ethanolic extract of fresh leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana was screened for its phytochemical and invitro antibacterial properties on four clinical isolates Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli , Shigella sp , and Klebsiella pneumonia. The disc diffusion technique was used to assay for the antimicrobial properties. The results showed that the extract of concentrations between 50mg/ml to 200mg/...

BACKGROUND BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) mutation is the major mechanism contributing to suboptimal response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in BCR-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. T315I mutation, as one of the most frequent KD mutations, has been shown to be strongly associated with TKI resistance and subsequent therapeutic failure. A simple and sensitive method is thus r...

Because of its resistance to antibiotics, Staphylococcus aureus causes many of problems in hospital and society. As one of the main reasons of clinical infections it can cause to serious surgical and cutaneous infections and pneumonia. The inhibitory effect of the essential oils include; Eucalyptus largiflorence, E. camaldulensis, E. malliodora and E. polycarpa as a natural and herbal antimicro...

BACKGROUND Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has recently been proposed as a minimally- invasive, alternative method for blood volume measurement. This study aims at comparing the accuracy of CEUS and the classical thermodilution techniques for volume assessment in an in-vitro set-up. METHODS The in-vitro set-up consisted of a variable network between an inflow and outflow tube and a roller...

The paper presents the results of experimental study two methods for blood processing to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Due widespread clinical use in orthopedics and traumatology, a differential approach PRP leukocyte- (L-PRP) has become relevant. Most commercial kits preparation significantly increase cost treatment. In addition, main attention is focused on concentration platelets final ...

conclusions the kin gingival chlorhexidine mouthwash has a greater effect than behsa and boht mouthwashes on oral microorganisms and is recommended to be used for plaque chemical inhibition. results the mics for kin gingival, behsa and boht mouthwashes were 0.14, 0.48 and 1000 micrograms/ml using the tube method for s. mutans, respectively. the mbcs for the mentioned mouthwashes were 0.23, 1.9 ...

sisting of a short length of 8 mm. diam. Visking tubing knotted to form a bag, the open end being secured to a piece of glass tubing by a close-fitting rubber stopper fitted to a test tube with a side arm. The bag, after being washed with distilled water, was equilibrated with a drop of the sample solution; this drop was discarded before evacuating the tube and introducing the rest of the sampl...

This study investigated whether mouthwash dilutions, recommended by the manufacturers, may contribute to oral mucosa irritation. Twenty frequently used mouthwash brands were examined by the pollen tube growth test, an alternative in vitro method for assessment of the irritating potential of ingredients of cosmetic formulations. The test is based on the photometric quantification of pollen tube ...

meal of which oatmeal gruel is the old standard one. It has however certain disadvantages : it takes considerable time to prepare the meal; the patient finds it inconvenient to swallow with a tube in the mouth; a pint of gruel causes much dilution of the gastric juice at least in the first hour; and at times difficulty is experienced in drawing the thick samples through the tube. More recently,...

In this flow-injection system for direct determination of lithium in serum by atomic absorption spectroscopy, the 10-microL sample is manually injected into a continuously flowing non-segmented stream of de-ionized water, which is pumped, via a dispersion tube, to the spectrometer's nebulizer. Controlled dispersion of the sample zone, before it is introduced into the nebulizer, produces the req...
