introduction: in this study, we evaluated the activity of garlic extract against dermatophytes which is planned to be used instead of chemical durgs. garlic has been widely used as medicine since ancient times for varieties of illnesses, including abdominal pain, parasitic infection, insect and snakebites, hemorrhoid and rheumatism. in the last decades, garlic has been reported to display antib...

introduction: the preparation of seasonal influenza virus vaccines and especially its large-scale production requirement after the emergence or reemergence of a pandemic will need an alternative host cell system due to current suboptimal methods and the insufficiency of embryonated chicken eggs needed for producing them. in response to the vital and increasing demand for alternative means for in...

A mechanistic model was derived for direct flow microfiltration (MF), one which lends more insight into the factors that control MF performance compared to a statistical curve-fitting procedure that is often used to estimate chemical cleaning intervals at pilot-scale. This theoretical approach to MF fouling was based on fundamental feed water, membrane, and cake characteristics and was shown to...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether, in the short term, physiological blood pressure changes are coupled with changes in urinary sodium excretion in normotensive subjects, maintained at fixed sodium intake and under controlled postural and behavioural conditions. Twelve normotensive subjects were recruited. For each subject, seven urine samples were collected at fixed time interval...

A novel catalytic synthesis of 3,3'-(arylmethylene)-bis-(4-hydroxy-2H-chromene-2-one) derivatives from a tandem condensation reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. The reaction occurs in water in the presence of Melamine trisulfonic acid as catalyst to give the corresponding products in good to high yields. This green approach has several advantages such as sho...

&IL, FREDKIK, KNUT AUKLAND, AND HARALD E. REFSUM. Renal sodium transfwrt and oxygen consumption. Am. J. Physiol. 201(3): 511-516. I g6 I .-Glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow were increased in dogs by infusion of 270 glycine and hypertonic NaCl at rates of 8 ml/min. This procedure resulted both in an increased rate of sodium reabsorption and in increased oxygen consumption. Approxim...
