CLINICAL EFFICACY AND SAFETY IN HEAD LICE INFECTION BY PEDICULUS HUMANIS CAPITIS DE GEER (ANOPLURA: PEDICULIDAE) OF A CAPILLARY SPRAY CONTAINING A SILICON-OIL COMPLEX*

Head lice are endemic worldwide.Resistance to permethrin and doubts about the safety of pesticides promoted the use of physical therapies (wet-combing, dry-on suffocation).The aim of our study was to test the pediculicidal and ovicidal effects of one application of a silicon-oil complex composed of dimethiconol and castor Vitamin Packs oil.The stud

The quinternary thiophosphate Cs0.5Ag0.5Nb2PS10, cesium silver tris(disulfido)[tetrathiophosphato(V)]diniobate(IV), has been prepared from the elements using a CsCl flux.The crystal structure is made up of ∞1[Nb2PS10] chains expanding along [010].These chains are built up from bicapped trigonal-prismatic [Nb2S12] units and tetrahedral Con

A theoretical framework to describe and assess the advancement of innovation ecosystems in the contemporary European Union is more than necessary in order to map actors and processes, and thus provide a more comprehensive and dynamic approach.For actors, the reframed innovation helix perspective is applied, while the multilevel perspective is used

Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are central mechanisms underlying the aging process and the pathogenesis of many age-related diseases.Selected antioxidants and specific combinations of nutritional compounds could target many biochemical pathways that affect both oxidative stress and mitochondrial function and, thereby, preserve or en
