PURPOSE To assess clinical antimicrobial efficacy results obtained with besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension, 0.6%, administered three times a day (TID) for 5 days, integrated across three clinical trials of bacterial conjunctivitis and to investigate any microbiological eradication failures. METHODS Clinical microbiological eradication data from three randomized, double-masked, parallel group ...

The vaccine.??The Semplc vaccine is used in India and in most other countries. In India, it is a 5 per cent suspension of the brain of a sheep, paralysed after infection with fixed virus of rabies through cisterna puncture. The brain is removed with sterile precautions, ground into 8 per cent suspension with normal saline and phenolized to obtain a concentration of 1 per cent of the antiseptic....

the photocatalytic activity of nano-tio2 has been used in inactivation of microorganisms, mainly in the form of suspension in a liquid or partially in an immobilized system. using advanced oxidation processasa new approach has been used in the purification of water and wastewater. in this research, the systems of suspended (0.1 g/l) and immobilized nano-tio2 in the cement bed (0.1-2%) under a 1...

Implicit bias has recently gained much attention in scholarly attempts to understand and explain different forms of social injustice by identifying causally relevant mental states in individual’ minds. Here we question the explanatory power of implicit bias in a particular type of injustice, testimonial injustice, and more generally in what we call speech injustice. Testimonial injustice occurs...

1954. To be sure, Ball saw the appeal of the Korea, Munich, and dominochain analogies, but in each, he also saw serious weaknesses; more important, he felt he saw deeper similarities to the situation the French had faced, which led him to his gloomy but accurate predictions of what would happen to American troops if they went in. I found this discussion enlightening, but it left me wondering, W...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the antibacterial effect of ozone on suspension of three different bacteria inoculated in prepared canals of extracted human teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ozone was produced by special KP syringe of high frequency ozone generator Ozonytron (Biozonix, München, Germany) from aspirated atmospheric air by dielectric barrier discharge and applied th...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare apical sealing ability of alpha and beta phases of gutta-percha by means of bacterial leakage model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty single-rooted human premolars were selected. The root canals were prepared with Mtwo rotary instruments up to apical #35.04. Forty teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n= 20). The root canals were obturated by ...

Regular use of mouth rinses modifies the oral habitat, since bacterial populations are submitted to a high selective pressure during the treatment exercised by the active presence of the disinfectant.. Mostly mouth rinses are based on the antibacterial effect of Chlorhexidine, Triclosan, essential oils and other antibacterials although other pharmaceutical characteristics can also affect their ...

Confining surfaces play crucial roles in dynamics, transport, and order in many physical systems, but their effects on active matter, a broad class of dynamically self-organizing systems, are poorly understood. We investigate here the influence of global confinement and surface curvature on collective motion by studying the flow and orientational order within small droplets of a dense bacterial...
