Background and Aims: The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of three medicinal plant extracts on fungi with three methods and to compare methods. Material and methods: This study examined the antifungal properties of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L), ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and Nafe Venus (Umbilicus intermedius boiss) extracts against fungi including, Aspergillus spp., Penicillium...

the goal is assessing the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dmri) method effi ciency in characterizing focal hepatic lesions (fhls). about 28-fhl patients were studied in radiology and clinical imaging department of our university hospital using 1.5 tesla mri system between january 2010 and june 2011. patients underwent hepatic mri consisting of dynamic t1- and t2-weighted imaging. the dmri...

orange peel extract solution contains mucilage flavor and three types of glycosides. limonene is one of the terpenoides in some vegetables, fruits and food; that plays as an antioxidant in juice. as it has anti-microorganism effects on some bacteria, we carried out the antifungal effects of limonene versus orange extract. in the present study the effects of orange extract and two types of limon...

conclusion adc, fa, and t2* values may quantitatively reflect the microstructural characteristics of np, therefore they could be used to detect the minimal changes of early ldd. results the adc, fa, and t2* values were different (p < 0.05) among different rois within the same disc or among corresponding rois in different level discs. while the average values of adc increased regularly with the ...

background diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) is a form of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) based on measuring the random brownian motion of water molecules within the biological tissues and is particularly useful in tumor characterization. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of dw mri and the apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) for preoperative grading of a...
