results the results of energy-dispersive x-ray demonstrated that the purified nps consisted of only se. in addition, transmission electron micrographs showed that 120- to 140-nm spherical se nps were the most common. an antifungal assay was performed with a standard clinical and laboratory standards institute broth microdilution method. minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) measurements of the...

the opportunistic mould aspergillus is a ubiquitous fungus. diseases caused by aspergillus species are most commonly caused by aspergillus fumigatus. the spectrum of disease caused by aspergillus is dependent on the health of the immune system. the ranges of illnesses individuals acquire are aspergilloma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, invasive aspergillosis, sinusitis, otomycosis, oc...

Materials & methods: The study was conducted in the Department Otorhinolaryngology, Adesh Institute Medical Science Research, Bathinda on admitted patients chronic rhinosinusitis suspected with fungal sinusitis. specimen obtained during surgery sent for culture....

Aspergillus fumigatus sensitization and culture in asthma are associated with disease severity and lung function impairment, but their relationship with airway inflammation is poorly understood. We investigated the profile of 24 sputum inflammatory mediators in A. fumigatus culture-positive or-negative moderate-to-severe asthmatics. Fifty-two subjects were recruited from a single center. A. fum...

Several new pyrazole, pyridine, [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-α]pyrimidine, benzimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine and 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]triazine derivatives incorporating a thiophene moiety were synthesized from (E)-ethyl 5-(3-(dimethylamino)acryloyl)-4-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)thiophene-3-carboxylate (1). The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H-, (13)C-NMR, mass spectral...

Obezite küresel düzeyde prevalansı giderek artan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Son dönemlerde hedonik açlığın obez bireylerde yüksek olmasından dolayı açlık obezite için olgu haline gelmiştir. Hedonik fiziksel yokluğunda haz odaklı beslenme olarak ifade edilmektedir. açlığı fazla miktarda yağ, şeker ve/veya tuz içeriğine sahip olan besinlere yönelim bulunmaktadır. Ekonomik kalkınma, modern...

In continuation of our endeavor towards the development of potent and effective antimicrobial agents, three series of halophenyl bis-hydrazones (14a-n, 16a-d, 17a and 17b) were synthesized and evaluated for their potential antibacterial, antifungal and antimycobacterial activities. These efforts led to the identification of five molecules 14c, 14g, 16b, 17a and 17b (MIC range from 0.12 to 7.81 ...
