microcerotermes diversus silvestri is the most economically destructive termite in structures in ahvaz (iran), and it consumes almost anything containing cellulose. this species lives in subterranean nests and gains access to buildings and vegetation by constructing underground galleries. because of their insecticidal activity, boron compounds may be beneficial for treating soil to create insec...

As the industrial community moves towards green manufacturing processes, there is an increased demand for multi-functional, environmentally friendly lubricants with enhanced tribological performance. In the present investigation, green (environmentally benign) lubricant combinations were prepared by homogeneously mixing nano- (20 nm), sub-micrometre- (600 nm average size) and micrometre-scale (...

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...

Non-covalent polymers have remarkable advantages over synthetic polymers for wide biomedical applications. In this study, non-covalent polymers from self-assembled boric acid were used as the capping reagent to replace synthetic polymers in drug crystallization. Under acidic pH, boric acid self-assembled on the surface of drug nanocrystals to form polymers with network-like structures held toge...

Food is a basic need for every human being to grow and sustain life. In food, there what called BTP or Additives. According the Regulation of Minister Health Republic Indonesia No. 033 2012 [1], Regarding food additives, boric acid borax prohibited from used in products. However, many people still use as producing food. This study aimed identify determine levels samples. The research method was...

STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective review of case records of 141 women with positive vaginal cultures of C glabrata at two sites, Wayne State University School of Medicine and Ben Gurion University. RESULTS The bor...

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...
