Cinnamomum verum-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles of 9.4 nm in size were laser transferred by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique onto gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) for antibacterial activity evaluation toward Gram positive and Gram negative microbial colonization. X-ray diffraction analysis of the nanoparticle powder showed a polycrystalline magnetite structure, whereas ...

The extraction process of bioactives from the aqueous extract cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) was optimized using Design Expert 11 program and analysis variance (ANOVA) by considering following parameters: weight (g), power (W), time (s) microwave irradiation. optimal conditions are 4.5 grams, 600 seconds, 150 watts With Cinnamomum verum under titanium (IV) tetrachloride as a precursor, TiO2 nanost...

vs. Aim To provide formalization of Japanese sentence-final particles in the framework of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) (Steedman 1996, 2000, Szabolcsi 1987). Proposal I analyze particles such as yo and ne as verum focus operators (Höhle 1992, Romero & Han 2004). Previous Work There has not been much formal descriptions of these sentence-final particles so far. • Masuoka & Takubo (1992) ...

With this in mind, work was carried out with objective improving and functional properties white bread by using cinnamon breadmaking order to contribute prevention certain diseases related eating habits. Therefore, bread-making trials incorporating 0%, 0.5%, ...

Objective(s): Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major risk factors of death globally. One of the most undeniable reasons of CVDs is metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is defined as a complex of diseases including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. The use of complementary medicine such as traditional herbal species can be effective in t...

Illicium verum (badiane or star anise), Crataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna (hawthorn) and Allium cepa (onion), have traditionnally been used as medicinal plants in Algeria. This study showed that the outer layer of onion is rich in flavonols with contents of 103 ± 7.90 µg/g DW (red variety) and 17.3 ± 0.69 µg/gDW (white variety). We also determined flavonols contents of 14.3 ± 0.21 µg/g 1.65 ± 0...

In this work, SPECT brain images are analyzed automatically in order to determine the effects of acupuncture applied for fighting migraine. For this purpose, two different groups of patients are randomly collected and received verum and sham acupuncture, respectively. Changes in the brain perfusion patterns can be measured quantitatively by dealing with the images in a classification context. A...

During the last five years a large number of randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) have been published on the efficacy of acupuncture in different conditions. In most of these studies verum is compared with sham acupuncture. In general both verum and sham have been found to be effective, and often with little reported difference in outcome. This has repeatedly led to the conclusion that ...

background: brucella abortus is a gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium that can cause a highly contagious disease in sheep, goats, cattle and one-humped camels. it is responsible for one of the most important zoonosis in human. the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of mentha piperita, origanum majorana, citrus lemon, cinnamomum verum and myristica fragrans essential volati...

The major ingredient of Cinnamomum, which is cinnamic aldehyde, has a variety of uses, such as aromatic compound, beverage, chewing gum, toothpaste, and incense as a component of cosmetics, and halitosis remover. Cinnamic aldehyde is also known to have a remedial effect. In this study, Cinnamomum is used to look for antibacterial activity on oral bacteria. A disk diffusion method is used as the...
