In this work, we described a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique for green synthesis of colloidal silver nanoparticles from aqueous extract of fresh leaves of Acacia melanoxylon and its application as a dopamine and hydrogen peroxide sensor. The prepared silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron mi...

*Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract In this work, a new method was developed for the catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide at glassy carbon electrode modified with silver nanoparticles and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Silver incorporated in this modified electrode acted as catalyst to reduce hydrogen peroxide. First, the electrochemical behavior of silver, incorporated in m...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of five antiseptics, three surface disinfectants and UV radiation against a wide range of clinical and environmental yeast isolates. Their efficacy against pure cultures, yeast mixtures and biofilms (prepared by culturing yeasts in Sabouraud broth containing a final concentration of 8% glucose) was tested. Three clinical isolates of Candida alb...

abstract statement of problem: bleaching systems with different concentrations and applications are widely used to improve the visual appearance of the teeth, but one of the complications of these materials is reduction of bond strength for immediately bonding to the bleached enamel. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of using different modified hydrogen peroxide bl...

AIMS To evaluate the effects of hydrogen peroxide exposure on the survival and proliferation of cultured lens epithelial cells. METHODS TOTL-86 cells, a line of rabbit lens epithelial cells, were used. The survival and proliferation of TOTL-86 cells were quantified by a rapid colorimetric assay (MTT assay). To determine the effects of hydrogen peroxide, TOTL-86 cells were exposed to different...

BACKGROUND Urinary hydrogen peroxide was postulated to be a biomarker of oxidative stress. We estimated urinary hydrogen peroxide along with other established parameters of oxidative stress in malignancies where oxidative stress is well documented. METHODS The oxidative stress markers tested were concentrations of erythrocyte glutathione, erythrocyte malonaldehyde (MDA) and plasma hydroperoxi...

BACKGROUND This was a head-to-head comparison of two hydrogen-peroxide-based room decontamination systems. AIM To compare the efficacy, efficiency and safety of hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV; Clarus R, Bioquell, Andover, U.K.) and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP; SR2, Sterinis, now supplied as Glosair, Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd, Wokingham, U.K.) r...
