Toxocariasis is a zoonosis mainly caused by Toxocara canis, an intestinal nematode of dogs. Man acquires the infection through accidental ingestion of viable eggs, and the toxocariasis clinical manifestations may vary from an asymptomatic infection up to the Visceral Larva Migrans syndrome. Seventy eight public squares of Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, including Bonfim Paulista district wer...

zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. this leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. in order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. elemental analysis in eac...

A field experiment was conducted during 2020-2021 at Horticulture Research Farm-1, BBAU, Lucknow on 15- year- old guava plants, Studies the Effect of Zinc and Boron Growth, Yield Quality Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. L-49”, revealed Number fruits per tree, tree (kg), Total chlorophyll content (mg/g), Average weight fruit (g), Volume (cc), TSS ( 0Brix), Acidity (%), Ascorbic acid in pulp (mg/10...

Nanocrystalline Zinc Oxide (ZnO) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), and Tri Ethanol Amine (TEA) via hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electr...

The effect of various concentrations of divalent cations on survival of gonococci in liquid medium was studied. The growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was inhibited by manganous chloride in concentrations above 1 X 10(-5)mol/l while the growth of control organisms such as Neisseria meningitidis and Escherichia coli was not inhibited by the same salt even at 1 X 10(-2)mol/l. Copper sulphate, cobalt...

The serum of a case of hyperglobulinaemia with negative thymol and zinc sulphate turbidity reactions was studied. The serum when added to pathological sera with high turbidity values brought about a marked reduction in the original turbidity values. Also, the serum did not give the usual copper proteinate precipitate when added to copper sulphate solutions. The anomalous protein fraction respon...

In a double-blind study 91 patients with acne vulgaris were treated either with oral zinc sulphate (0.4 g daily) or with a placebo. Forty-eight patients received zince treatment and 43 patients placebo. Significantly better results were demonstrated in favour of zince after 12 weeks.

In all cases, three specimens were examined from each patient. Wet preparation of faeces in saline and in iodine were carried out. The preparations were screened for ova, cyst and trophozoites of protozoa. A modified zinc sulphate flotation technique! was used to concentrate faecal ova and cyst. Faecal smears were then fixed and stained in trichrome for further identification of the parasites.

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of zinc sulphate administered by transdermal iontophoresis (TDI) on mechanical resistance of surgical wounds performed in the skin of diabetic rats. METHODS One hundred and sixty male Wistar rats weighing approximately 250 g were submitted to an incision surgery at the anterior region of abdomen and randomly distributed into four experimental groups with 40 n...
