The antimicrobial activity of silver sulphadiazine has been determined agonist 409 strains from 12 different genera. MICs were usually in the range 16-64 micrograms/ml. Multi-resistant species, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter spp., were uniformly sensitive. MICs always exceeded the reported aqueous solubility of silver sulphadiazine. No resistant strains we...

Burns remain a major public health problem all over the world, especially in developing countries. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of infection and a contributing factor in the death of patients with burns. So, there is a growing need to develop drugs which will prevent infections and complications more effectively than the presently used drugs. Ocimum sanctum L. (Holy basil in English ...

Noise gratings in diffuse-object holograms recorded as volume phase holograms in bleached silver halide emulsion are experimentally analyzed. Measurements of the diffraction efficiency and the noise of the holograms are taken. The experimental results obtained show that there is a drop not only in the diffraction efficiency but also in the noise that is due to the presence of noise gratings.

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-review has shifted from assessing the consequences silver sulfadiazine with most different drugs (SSD) for burn recovery contamination prevention to novel dressings, without or silver. Burn units have be able better control sepsis. degree which a topical antibacterial agent is absorbed determines its effectiveness. Absorption may evaluated against ...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies were carried out to develop more sophisticated dressings to expedite healing processes and diminish the bacterial burden in burn wounds. This study assessed the healing effect of nettle extract on second degree burns wound in rats in comparison with silver sulfadiazine and vaseline. METHODS Forty rats were randomly assigned to four equal groups. A deep second-degr...

Silver lenses having super-resolution are analyzed in terms of antisymmetric modes of surface plasmon which have the ability to amplify evanescent waves in UV region. Antisymmetric surface plasmon modes excited by subwavelength grating enhances the resolution and contrast of silver superlens. By using a 20 nm-thick silver superlens, the half-pitch resolution of approximately lambda(0)/8 can be ...

The structural and electronic properties of the excited electronic states of AgX(2) (X = F, Cl, Br, and I), have been calculated, taking electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling into account and employing improved relativistic-effective-core potentials for silver and the halogen atoms. The relative ordering of the excited states of these molecules has been discussed via molecular-orbital ar...
