Article history: Received on: 23/06/2016 Revised on: 14/07/2016 Accepted on: 04/09/2016 Available online: 29/11/2016 To avoid skin dryness and irritation encountered with alcohol-based sanitizers, Toddalia asiatica stem bark extract was explored in formulation of a germicidal herbal antiseptic detergent. A L9 (3 4 ) Taguchi Orthogonal Array was used to optimize set factors for design and prepar...

BACKGROUND The rise in health care-associated infections has placed a greater emphasis on cleaning and disinfection practices. The majority of policies advocate using detergent-based products for routine cleaning, with detergent wipes increasingly being used; however, there is no information about their ability to remove and subsequently transfer pathogens in practice. METHODS Seven detergent...

Hospital surfaces are a source of potential infection due to contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Bacterial biofilms particular importance, their persistence in the hospital environment. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) is novel method surface decontamination. In this study, we aimed show use CAPP jet for were grown on common materials treated with an air-driven ...

banach contraction principle has been generalized in different spaces by mathematicians over the years. mustafa and sims [18] proposed a new class of generalized metric spaces, which are called as g-metric spaces. in this type of spaces a non-negative real number is assigned to every triplet of elements. many mathematicians studied extensively various results on g-metric spaces by using the con...

Sucrose density gradient centrifugation has been used to measure the binding of Triton X-100 above its critical micellar concentration to a variety of purified membrane and non-membrane proteins. In addition, binding studies were done on the three proteins below the critical micellar concentration of detergent to distinguish between the interaction of proteins with detergent monomers and deter...

The α-pore-forming toxin Cytolysin A (ClyA) is responsible for the hemolytic activity of various Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica strains. Soluble ClyA monomers spontaneously assemble into annular dodecameric pore complexes upon contact with membranes or detergent. At ClyA monomer concentrations above ∼100 nm, the rate-limiting step in detergent- or membrane- induced pore assembly is th...

Neurotoxic esterase (NTE) is a membrane-bound protein found in highest concentration in brain and lymphocytes. The enzyme has no known physiological function, but its organophosphorylation and aging in neural tissue are thought to trigger the pathogenesis of organophosphorus-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). Solubilization of NTE from microsomal membranes from hen or chick brain was studied w...

the compatibility of beauveria bassiana isolate debi 002 (atashgah) with fipronil, pyriproxyfenand hexaflumuron insecticides was assayed. to determine the impact of the insecticides on thegermination of the fungal spore, different concentrations of the compounds were added to the culturemedium (malt agar). in order to calculate the mycelial growth in different treatments, each colonydiameter wa...

Imitative compatibility, or automatic imitation, has been used as a measure of imitative performance and as a behavioral index of the functioning of the human mirror system (e.g., Brass, Bekkering, Wohlschlager, & Prinz, 2000; Heyes, Bird, Johnson, & Haggard, 2005; Kilner, Paulignan, & Blakemore, 2003). However, the use of imitative compatibility as a measure of imitation has been criticized on...

PURPOSE A mixing and compatibility guide for commonly used aerosolized medications was developed. SUMMARY Compatibility guides for injectable drugs are available as a reference for pharmacists, nurses, and medical personnel. These charts are commonly used in hospitals and other health care institutions and provide a quick, easy reference for compatibility of frequently used intravenous medica...
