Filter by:This study applies long PIVCs to patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy, and compares the effects of different placement sites, aiming to provide a reference basis for patients undergoing antimicrobial treatment to select the optimal placement site, thus reducing complications, prolonging catheter retention time, and alleviating the patient's pain.
Orthodontic treatment is an elective procedure to improve the patient's dentofacial appearance. The complex design of fixed appliances provides a platform that leads to increased plaque accumulation around orthodontic brackets. So, the risk to develop demineralization area adjacent to orthodontic brackets is a major barrier in achieving this goal. Oral hygiene is greatly complicated following the placement of fixed orthodontic Appliances. Molar tube in place are considered for nearly all patients experiencing fixed orthodontic therapy over the whole treatment period, which normally lasts 1.5 to 2 years. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the application and antimicrobial efficacy of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles coating on orthodontic molar tube material has not been integrated clinically. White spot lesions during orthodontic treatment have a documented etiology. Briefly, the accumulation of plaque and food around brackets, bands, wires, and other attachments caused decreased pH and increased S. mutans colonization, which led to the possibility of clinical demineralization. The aims of study are to assess the antimicrobial effect of nanoparticle coated stainless steel orthodontic molar tube material (OMT) with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in relative to uncoated orthodontic molar tube (UOMT) against the streptococcus. mutans& lactobacllius bacteria that cause white spot lesion around the fixed orthodontic appliance. .
The aim of the study is to evaluate effectiveness of cinnamon extract versus sodium hypochlorite as root canal irrigant for in pulpectomy of primary teeth in reduction of bacterial count .
Moringa oleifera (MO) is an extraordinary nutritious vegetable tree with high medicinal value for its antibacterial properties. Formulation of various natural dental remedies from this plant and their testing for their effectiveness might yield promising antibacterial, antiplaque and anticariogenic agents with minimal side effects. Aim of the study: Part I: The aim of this in-vitro part of the study is to formulate a nontoxic mouthwash from MO leaves extract, having antimicrobial activity, to be used in part II of the study. Furthermore, stability and efficacy of the developed mouth wash will be evaluated. Part II: The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the antibacterial, antiplaque and anticariogenic effect of MO mouthwash compared to chlorhexidine mouthwash.
The World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (AMMI) Canada, and Health Canada have all declared antimicrobial resistance a global threat to health, based on rapidly increasing resistance rates and declining new drug development. Up to 30-50% of antibiotic use is inappropriate, and excessive durations of treatment are the greatest contributor to inappropriate use. Shorter duration treatment (≤7 days) has been shown in meta-analyses to be as effective as longer antibiotic treatment for a range of mild to moderate infections. A landmark trial in critically ill patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia showed that mortality and relapse rates were non-inferior in patients who received 8 vs 15 days of treatment. Similar adequately powered randomized trial evidence is lacking for the treatment of patients with bloodstream infections caused by a wide spectrum of organisms.
Context: Research on natural products with therapeutic, analgesic or antimicrobial purpose should be encouraged to create new drugs. Acmella oleracea, typical plant of the Northern region of the country and popularly known as jambu, has aroused the interest of researchers because of its therapeutic potential. Objective: To evaluate the potential topical analgesic and antimicrobial of Acmella oleracea plant extract from the skin antisepsis in venipuncture procedures. Methods: This is a clinical, randomized, controlled trial with healthy volunteers recruited at the Clinic I of the collection of biological materials sector of the Hospital das Clinicas Samuel Libânio, in Pouso Alegre-MG. The plant extract A. oleracea manipulated with Transcutol® and 70% alcohol were used in the volunteers before the venipuncture procedure as allocation in study groups. Held collection of skin microbiota by the swab technique and the end of the venipuncture procedure was applied to the volunteer, the visual numeric scale (VNS) standard to determine the degree of pain.
