objective: to validate the ethno-therapeutic claim of the traditionally used plant jasminum auriculatum (j. auriculatum) in skin diseases, by evaluating its wound healing potential along with its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; so as to understand their role in wound healing. materials and methods: excision and incision wound models were used to evaluate the wound healing activity on ...

Background: the endoparasitosis affects dairy goats in worldwide distribution. This impacts economical activity and implies eminent risk of animal looses by helminths blood depletion (Nogueira, 2010). Resistance to all therapeutic drugs is reported, parasitism elevation production costs, toxic residues milk environment, frequently monitoring ocular mucosa healthy status (Cavalcanti, 2007; Silva...

A79-year-oldmale patient was referred to hospital for investigation of microcytic hypochromic anemia. His previous medical history included coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, chronic renal failure, percutaneous aortic valve replacement, and chronic atrial fibrillation with phenprocoumon as regular medication. He reported episodes of fatigue, no alteration of stools or stool color, a...

Hydatid disease is caused by the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Osseous involvement accounts for 0.5% to 4% of cases in humans. Patients usually are from endemic zones and are initially asymptomatic, presenting with pain and edema at a later stage of disease. However, large lesions may present initially as pathologic fractures. Standard radiographs usually show expansive osteolytic...

Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a broad-spectrum antihelmintic used for treatment of parasitic infections in animals and humans and as an agricultural fungicide for postharvest treatment of fruits and vegetables. It is teratogenic and nephrotoxic in mice, and cases of hepatotoxicity have been observed in humans. Recent reports have demonstrated a correlation between 5-hydroxythiabendazole (5-OHTBZ) form...

abstract childhood and adolescence are critical periods for the skeleton. mechanical load has then been shown to be one of the best stimuli to enhance not only bone mass, but also structural skeletal adaptations, as both contributing to bone strength. exercise prescription also includes a window of opportunity to improve bone strength in the late pre- and early peri-pubertal period. there is so...

in this study, methanol and ether extracts of five endemic asperula species (rubiaceae) from turkey (a. antalyensis, a. brevifolia, a. pseudochlorantha, a. purpurea subsp. apiculata and a. serotina), used in the traditional system of medicine, were tested for antimicrobial activity by the agar well diffusion method and the broth dilution method. the most active species were asperula brevifolia ...

background: dermatophytes are the main cause of human superficial mycosis that is still a public health problem especially in tropical countries such as iran. objective: the aim of this study was determining the antifungal effect of hypercom perforatum essential oil. methods: the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) and minimum fungicidal concentration (mfc) for the essential oil of the plant...

background tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme, which is widely distributed in microorganisms, animals and plants. it is also a key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis, which plays a crucial role in determining the color of mammalian skin and hair. in addition, unfavorable enzymatic browning of plant-derived foods by tyrosinase causes a decrease in nutritional quality and economic loss of food ...

the quantitative structure–activity relationship of a series of novel thiazoline derivatives with anticancer activity has been studied by using the density functional theory by b3lyp/ 6-31g. descriptors of quantum mechanics of 21 thiazoline derivatives with known activity were obtained. multiple linear regressions were employed to model the relationships between molecular descriptors and biolog...
