Production and characterization of encapsulated Thymoquinone loaded bacterial cellulose/chitosan composite nano film and investigation of its in vitro antibacterial activity.

In this study, nanostructured thin films were produced from thymoquinone (TQ)-loaded composites encapsulated with different ratios of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) to chitosan (CS). The study aimed to investigate their characterization, antibacterial effects, and potential as drug film coating materials. Chemical features and morphological characteristics were determined, and release tests and antibacterial assays were conducted on the thin film layers.

Comparison of brain MRI angiography and brain MRI cisternography in patients with hemifacial spasm.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of brain magnetic resonance imaging angiography and brain magnetic resonance imaging cisternography of showing the neurovascular contiguity of the facial nerve in patients with hemifacial spasm.

Method: This study included a total of 35 patients (28 females, 7 males), with an average age of 57.5 ± 13.

Hydatid disease with atypical localization: 4 cases report.

Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus often manifests as slowly growing cystic mass and mainly affects the liver or lung and rarely other parts of the body such as brain, heart, bone and muscle. Cyst may be single or multiple, uni-or multiloculated. In this paper 4 hydatic cases, multiple and atypically localized are presented.
