results gelatin films exhibited good tensile strength and elongation at break, water solubility, swelling, and water vapor permeability. incorporation of tam into the gelatin films caused a significant decrease in tensile strength and swelling, and a significant increase in elongation at break, water solubility, water vapor permeability and whiteness of the films. gelatin films exhibited low an...

conclusions the current study results showed that silver nanoparticles produced by plantago ovata seed extract had an antibacterial effect on staphylococcus aureus which was resistant against cefixime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and penicillin. results the silver nanoparticles revealed gaussian distributions with the average diameter of 13 nm with some deviations, and results showed that the...

BACKGROUND Peptic ulcer etiology has been changing because of H. pylori decline. OBJECTIVES To estimate peptic ulcer prevalence in 10 years-interval and compare the association with H. pylori and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
