UNLABELLED BACKGROUND HPV infection is a worldwide problem strictly linked to the development of cervical cancer. Persistence of the infection is one of the main factors responsible for the invasive progression and women diagnosed with intraepithelial squamous lesions are referred for further assessment and surgical treatments which are prone to complications. Despite this, there are several...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the in vitro maximum inhibitory dilution (MID) of two chlorhexidinebased oral mouthwashes (CHX): Noplak, Periogard, and one polyhexamethylene biguanide-based mouthwash (PHMB): Sanifill Premium against 28 field Staphylococcus aureus strains using the agar dilution method. MATERIALS AND METHODS For each product, decimal dilutions ranging f...

  Many modern foam wound dressings possess a variety of attributes that are designed to create a supportive wound-healing environment. These attributes include absorbing exudate, providing optimum moisture balance at the wound surface, and preventing maceration of surrounding tissue. However, studies suggest that controlling wound bioburden should also be targeted when developing wound ther...

A solution of polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (PHMB-HCl) was titrated with a standard solution of potassium poly(vinyl sulfate) (PVSK) using crystal violet (CV) as an photometric indicator cation. The end point was detected by a sharp absorbance change due to an abrupt decrease in the concentration of CV. A linear relationship between the concentration of PHMB-HCl and the end-point vo...

Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries due to large quantities dyeing wastewater it generates and discharges. Herein, we report an eco-friendly sustainable circular coloration technology based on cationic polyelectrolyte complex realise salt-free, zero-effluent-discharge for cotton fabrics with a recyclable dyebath by using typical polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) bonded ani...

Objective: Polyhexanide (PHMB; polyhexamethylene biguanide) is a well-known antiseptic agent; however, no data exist for its applicationon denture base and lining materials. In the present in vitro study, aim was to compare viable bacterial or fungal cell numbers theiradhesion on different types of materials diverse concentrations PHMB.Methods: Light-activated urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), he...
