Traditional medicine has been empirically used for different health ailments from primitive to till now. Ancient philosophers and scientist were conducted experiment to claim the safety and efficacy of herbal medicine and formulated different hypothesis. Some of the hypotheses are already proven by scientific justification and technological adaptation. Some are not proved by clinical trials or ...

A semisolid urea-motility-indole medium designed for detection in Enterobacteriaceae of urease activity, motility, and indole production in one tube was prepared and evaluated. The formulation of the medium was similar to that of Christensen urea agar, but the agar concentration was 0.2%, and 1% tryptone was added. Results with 687 strains of Enterobacteriaceae were the same as those obtained w...

Bentonite clays are broadly employed in the design of varied drug delivery systems due to their characteristic feature such as adsorption, swelling ability and biocompatibility. Combination polymers with clay particles considerably improve mechanical physical properties, - encapsulation efficiency controlled release behavior hybrids comparing starting components. One priority research areas at ...

astigmatism’s defect has not yet been formulated in physics and medical physics books theoretically. in this paper, we are trying to formulate the astigmatism’s defect. the results of formulation show that “the degree of astigmatism is negative reverse the distance that vision’s condition of astigmatism’s chart lines change conditions in dimness angle from dimness condition at infinite distance...

Background and Purpose—Acute-onset dysphagia after stroke is frequently associated with an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Because most screening tools are complex and biased toward fluid swallowing, we developed a simple, stepwise bedside screen that allows a graded rating with separate evaluations for nonfluid and fluid nutrition starting with nonfluid textures. The Gugging Swallowing...

The maintenance of Leptospira species in liquid or semisolid medium is time-consuming and at risk of contamination due to the needs of routine subculture and dark field microscopy. Using Leptospira Vanaporn Wuthiekanun (LVW) agar, we maintained 100 pathogenic Leptospira isolates for 12 months without the need for subculture and confirmed the viability of all isolates by the naked eye.

A semisolid brucella medium with 10% sheep blood was used for storage and transport of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni and subsp. intestinalis and kept isolated alive about 3 weeks or longer at 25 degrees C or when sent through the regular mail.

This report demonstrates the benefits of silicone-based polymers for enhancing pharmaceutical drug delivery to skin, by means of three independent studies. The first revealed that an anhydrous semisolid formulation with a cross-linked silicone polymer offers faster and higher skin delivery of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (IBP) compared to similar formulations based on organ...

Preliminary experiments revealed that coagulase positive staphylococci could be distinguished culturallv from coagulase negative staphylococci in a soft agar medium containing a small amount of normal human or rabbit plasma. In a medium of suitably low viscosity, staphylococci produce elongated diffuse feathery colonies. When coagulable plasma is incorporated in such a medium, the colonies of c...
