ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTS OF CHITOSAN-BASED HYDROGELS CONTAINING TRACHYSPERMUM AMMI ESSENTIAL OIL ON PATHOGENS ISOLATED FROM DOGS WITH OTITIS EXTERNA

Antibacterial effects of chitosan-based hydrogels containing Trachyspermum ammi essential oil on pathogens isolated from dogs with otitis externa

Abstract Background Growing antibiotic resistance has made treating otitis externa (OE) increasingly challenging.On the other hand, local antimicrobial treatments, especially those that combine essential oils (EOs) with nanoparticles, tend to be preferred over systemic ones.It was investigated whether Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) EO, combined with c

Considering the Geographic Diversity of Natural Enemy Traits in Biological Control: A Quantitative Approach Using Orius Predators as an Example

The desirable characteristics of effective natural enemies and the causes for failure of biological control efforts have been discussed Bags extensively in the literature, yet predicting which collection site may yield efficient natural enemies remains a challenge.Insect characteristics, such as morphology, physiology, life history and behavior, of

Cyclic versus continuous deep brain stimulation in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder: A randomized controlled trial

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral anterior limb of the internal capsule (vALIC) is effective for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but patients typically require high stimulation voltages and DBS comes with a risk for adverse events (AE).Objective: The aim of the present study was to advance DBS for OCD by optimi
