To combat the threat of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to discover innovative and effective alternative antibacterial agents. Garlic has been recommended as a medicinal plant with qualities. Hence, we conducted this study evaluate activity ultrasonicated garlic extract against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus sub. aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Poryphyromonas gingivalis. Aqueou...

Sonication technology has recently been touted to decrease composite viscosity during delivery and may allow better cavity preparation adaptation and minimize voids. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the difference between conventional, hand-placed, incremental application of a standard hybrid resin-based composite (RBC) and sonicated application of a bulk-fill RBC in box-type a...

Membrane fragments from high potassium (HK) and low potassium (LK) sheep red cells were separated by density gradient centrifugation. Three preparations were studied: (1) HK membranes sonicated for 20 minutes, (2) HK membranes sonicated for 3 minutes, and (3) LK membranes sonicated for 3 minutes. The adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in the maximally disrupted preparation (1) was not s...

This study analyses the potential of a new eco-friendly bioproduct to construction sustainability and its contribution for improving fresh hardened properties cement mortar. The was obtained from biomass grown using crude glycerol (biodiesel production waste). With similar functionality than petrochemical-based additions, these bioproducts encourage decrease on use fossil-based raw materials wi...

The present work investigated the effects of ultrasound on hydrogen-bond strength, secondary and network structures, granule size microstructures gluten, glutenin gliadin, in order to explicate possible mechanisms ultrasound-assisted dough processing. results showed that weakened intermolecular strength protein. After sonication, contents ?-turns ?-sheets decreased increased, respectively, whic...

Sonicated mitochondria catalyse the reduction of ferric salts, and the subsequent incorporation of Fe(2+) into haem, when provided with a reducing substrate such as succinate or NADH. The rate of haem synthesis was low under aerobic conditions and, after a short lag period, accelerated once anaerobic conditions were achieved; it was insensitive to antimycin A. The lag period was decreased by pr...
