Bu çalışmada Diospyros kaki L. (Trabzon hurması) meyvesinin kabukları ile hazırlanan metanol, etanol ve su ekstraktları kullanılarak antimikrobiyal, antioksidan kapasiteleri incelenmiştir. Çalışılan örneklerin katalitik aktivitesinin incelenmesi amacıyla sodyum borhidrür (NaBH4) varlığında Metilen Mavisi boyasının indirgenmesi değerlendirilmiştir sonuçlar UV-Visible Spektrofotometresinde (UV-Vi...

BACKGROUND Oropharyngeal manipulation is problematic when patients have a gag reflex. Sedation can suppress gag reflex, but can cause serious airway problems. We compared remifentanil (Group R) and propofol (Group P) in terms of cooperation and loss of gag reflex, while drugs were administered incrementally using target controlled infusion (TCI). METHODS Fifty seven patients who required awak...

Phytobezoar, a concretion of indigestible fibers derived from ingested vegetables and fruits, is the most common type of bezoar. Diospyrobezoar is a subtype of phytobezoar formed after excessive intake of persimmons (Diospyros kaki). We report the case of a diabetic man with a 5-day history of abdominal pain after massive ingestion of persimmons who developed signs of complicated small bowel ob...

We investigated the effects of bioactive compounds obtained from fruits of Diospyros kaki L., Cydonia oblonga Mill. and roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra L., as well as their action in a complex mixture on the mutability in marrow cell chromosomes induced by genotoxicants (X-rays, N-Methyl-NNitrosurea, Cyclophosphamide) and aging. The plant products tested separately and in a complex mixture showed a...

The feasibility of using the bio-photonic imaging technique to assess symptoms of circular leaf spot (CLS) disease in Diospyros kaki (persimmon) leaf samples was investigated. Leaf samples were selected from persimmon plantations and were categorized into three groups: healthy leaf samples, infected leaf samples, and healthy-looking leaf samples from infected trees. Visually non-identifiable re...

The NiO-ZnO nanocomposite (NiO-ZnO NC) was synthesized by ecofriendly process using Diospyros kaki (D. kaki) extract of leaves as reducing and capping agents. X-ray diffraction (XRD) used for examined crystallinity, cell dimensions, crystallite size (7.6 nm). To determine the purity sample weight percentage, energy dispersive (EDX) is used. surface morphology determined scanning electron micros...

Susceptibility to the gag reflex may render insertion of removable dentures very difficult. The use of intravenous sedation in such cases allows for the fabrication of dentures with decreased discomfort to the patient. When the completed dentures are inserted, however, discomfort may still occur as the effects of the gag reflex will again be felt. We report a case of an edentulous maxillary pat...

In endodontics, severe involuntary gagging can have a severe impact on treatment procedure. There are many ways to ease the gag reflex, one of which is hypnosis. A 34-year-old male was referred for root canal treatment of a molar tooth. He had not received any dental treatments for the past nine years due to fear of severe gag reflex. Three hypnotic sessions based upon eye fixation, progressive...
