There is a lack of published data on the role of patch testing in patientswith peri-anal dermatoses and pruritus ani. These are common and socially embarrassing conditions that are often poorly managed (1). Peri-anal dermatosis is a term that encompasses a series of inflammatory diseases affecting the anal region, of which eczema, of various aetiologies, is the most common (2, 3). Pruritus ani ...

This work describes moisture sorption behavior and other physicochemical properties of gelatin/poly (Ani) films. Theglyoxal (Glox) cross linked gelatin (Gel) films have been loaded with aniline, followed by their in-situ oxidative polymerization to yield Gel/poly (Ani) composite films. The moisture uptake behavior of the plain Gel and Gel/poly (Ani) films has been studied under various Relative...

Neurosecretory cells in corpus cardiacum of insects synthesize a set of hormones that are called adipokinetic, hypertrehalosaemic or hyperprolinaemic, depending on insect in question. This study investigated effects of chronic administration of Anax imperator adipokinetic hormone (Ani-AKH), Libellula auripennis adipokinetic hormone (Lia-AKH), and Phormia-Terra hypertrehalosaemic hormone (Pht-Hr...

A poly(aniline-co-m-ferrocenylaniline) was successfully synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by electrochemical copolymerization using a scan potential range from -0.3 to +0.9 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.5 M H2SO4 containing 30% acetonitrile (ACN), 0.1 M aniline (Ani) and 0.005 M m-ferrocenyaniline (m-FcAni). The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and electrochemical methods...

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to use a combination of axial MR source images and three-dimensional (3D) models to describe the anatomy of the normal pelvic floor in young nulliparous women and to measure the volume of the levator ani. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ten healthy nulliparous female volunteers (average age, 27 years) underwent T2-weighted MR imaging of the pelvis. Three-dimensional color-cod...
