Otomycosis: The foremost aetiological agent causing otitis externa and the antifungal susceptibility pattern in North-Western Iran.

Background: Otomycosis is considered a recurring fungal ear infection. The external auditory canal provides an appropriate and optimal situation for fungal growth.

Objectives: The study aimed to identify the causative agents of otomycosis and determine corresponding antifungal drug susceptibility patterns in north-western Iran.

Protective effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage in rats: Study on intestine and liver.

Background And Aims: Nanoparticles could represent a therapeutic approach for the treatment of various diseases. It has been reported that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) have potential useful effects. Therefore, we aimed to examine the protective effects of the CeO NPs in two models of liver injury, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl)-induced liver fibrosis, in rats.

COVID-19 vaccines: Current evidence and considerations.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global crisis, with devastating health, business and social impacts. Vaccination is a safe, simple, and effective way of protecting a person against COVID-19. By the end of August 2021, only 24.

Magnetogel Nanospheres Composed of Cisplatin-Loaded Alginate/B-Cyclodextrin as Controlled Release Drug Delivery.

The main aim of the present study was to design, fabrication and physicochemical characteristics of the magnetogel nanospheres as carriers for Cisplatin in the in vitro environment. Magnetic nanospheres were synthesized by using a chemical co-precipitation method and coated by sodium alginate through double emulsion method. Then cisplatin was encapsulated into β-cyclodextrin -sodium alginate grafted magnetic nanospheres.
