Evaluating a primary healthcare centre's preparedness for disasters using the hospital safety index: Lessons learned from the 2014 floods in Obrenovac, Serbia
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
Various organizations have endeavored to develop assessment methods for the identification and management of weaknesses in hospital disaster preparedness. Although the largest number of patients receive their regular care ...
PVA Cryogel as model hydrogel for iontophoretic transdermal drug delivery investigations. Comparison with PAA/PVA and PAA/PVP interpenetrating networks
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
The use of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogel as a model hydrogel for iontophoretic transdermal investigations is proposed. Due to the excellent combination of its properties, it could be used for evaluating iontophoretic ...
Tailoring the physico-chemical and antimicrobial properties of agar-based films by in situ formation of Cu-mineral phase
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
New agar-based composite films with increasing Cu-carbonate and Cu-phosphate mineral phase content were prepared by in situ mineralization and solvent casting method. SEM and optical analysis revealed that Cu-carbonate ...
Influence of different concentrations of Zn-carbonate phase on physical-chemical properties of antimicrobial agar composite films
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
Agar-based composites with different Zn-carbonate mineral phase content were prepared by in situ mineralization and the solvent casting method. The mineral phase within the composite films was identified as hydrozincite, ...
Novel nano-composite hydrogels with honey effective against multi-resistant clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Springer, New York, 2019)
Novel alginate hydrogels with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and honey components were produced with the aim to target multidrug-resistant bacterial strains causing nosocomial wound infections. AgNP synthesis was optimized ...
Kinetic models of swelling and thermal stability of silver/poly(vinyl Check far alcohol)/chitosan/graphene hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2019)
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by in situ electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions in poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene (PVA/CHI/Gr) hydrogel matrices with different concentrations of chitosan. The ...
