The aim of this study was focused on the bactericide test of Silver nanoparticles with an average diameter of 6 nm, over Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans and the treatment of a dermatosis of unknown etiology with a poly(hydroxy urethane-acrylate) gel (PHU) with a concentration of approximately 10 ppm AgNPs and a ratio-NHCOO-:RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) on the macromolecular ch...

  Background: Consumption of mycotoxic foods is associated with several cases of human poisoning, or mycotoxicosis, sometimes resulting in death.   Objective: Phytopreventive inhibition of Aspergillus parasiticus growth and its aflatoxin production by the essential oils extracted from Thymus kotschyanus Boiss & Hohen and Zataria multiflora Boiss. is reported in this study.   Methods: Minimal in...

Magnetic materials offer attractive applications in biomedicine with a variety of from sensors to diagnosis and treatment. Special attention deserves the nanofeature elements as nanostructured surfaces or nanoparticles that have been proposed alternatives for drug delivery vectors, bactericide treatments, lab-on-a-chip sensors, hyperthermiabased cancer therapy, magnetic bio-separation emerging ...

Persister cells are a multi-drug tolerant subpopulation of bacteria that contribute to chronic and recalcitrant clinical infections such as cystic fibrosis and tuberculosis. Persisters are metabolically dormant, so they are highly tolerant to all traditional antibiotics which are mainly effective against actively growing cells. Here, we show that the FDA-approved anti-cancer drug mitomycin C (M...

Viruses are the most common causative agents of inflammation in oral cavity and throat region. Most respiratory tract infections self-limiting require no specific treatment. However, patients often use different self-medication therapies that can treat both symptoms cause. Throat lozenges with a fixed combination benzydamine hydrochloride cetypiridinium chloride (BH/CPC) have been shown to prov...
