| tinea capitis in children in the district of cagliari, italy. | between 1986 and 1995, 4104 children were observed in the clinic of dermatology in cagliari, italy. three hundred and thirty-six children (8.2%), 188 boys and 148 girls, aged 1 month to 13 years, were affected by tinea capitis. microsporum canis was detected in 278 cases (82.7%) and trichophyton mentagrophytes in 58 cases (17.3%). systemic treatment with 20-25 mg kg-1 day-1 griseofulvin led to complete recovery in 30-40 days. none of the patients relapsed. the epidemiology of the infection was a ... | 1997 | 9476495 |
| kerion celsi: a clinical epidemiological study. | we present a case record of patients with kerion celsi observed in the clinic of dermatology, university of cagliari (italy) from 1981 to 1995. altogether, 31 children (18 male and 13 female) with an age range of 40 days to 12 years were studied. in all cases the lesions were confined to the scalp. in 10 cases the disease developed as such, while in 21 patients it represented the inflammatory evolution of tinea capitis secondary to incongruous topical treatment. microsporum canis was isolated in ... | 1998 | 9670770 |
| tinea pedis observed in cagliari, italy, between 1996 and 2000. | the aim of this study was to verify the incidence of tinea pedis in patients observed in the department of dermatology of the university of cagliari, italy, in the period from 1996 to 2000. we examined 722 patients, 536 with lesions and 186 without lesions of the feet and in 169 of them (23.4%) we diagnosed tinea pedis. all patients suffering from tinea pedis belonged to the group with lesions. in the 536 patients with clinical manifestations which were evident to a certain degree, microscope an ... | 2003 | 12588481 |
| epidemiology of tinea pedis in cagliari, italy. | observational study of all incident tinea pedis cases, realised from 2001 to 2007 at the dermatology clinic of the university of cagliari, italy, which is the main reference centre for dermatologic diseases in central southern sardinia. | 2010 | 20197740 |
| extraction, separation and isolation of volatiles from vitex agnus-castus l. (verbenaceae) wild species of sardinia, italy, by supercritical co2. | isolation of volatile concentrates from leaves, flowers and fruits of vitex agnus-castus l. have been obtained by supercritical extraction with carbon dioxide. the composition of the volatile concentrates has been analysed by gc/ms. in all plant organs, the extracts are composed chiefly of alpha-pinene, sabinene, 1,8-cineole, alpha-terpinyl acetate, (e)-caryophyllene, (e)-beta-farnesene, bicyclogermacrene, spathulenol and manool. the main difference observed was in the content of sclarene, which ... | 2010 | 20397107 |
| chemical composition and biological assays of essential oils of calamintha nepeta (l.) savi subsp. nepeta (lamiaceae). | aerial parts of wild calamintha nepeta (l.) savi subsp. nepeta growing spontaneously on the mediterranean coast (sardinia island, italy) and on the atlantic coast (portugal) were used as a matrix for the supercritical extraction of volatile oil with co(2). the collected extracts were analysed by gc-fid and gc-ms methods and their compositions were compared with that of the essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation, but the differences were not relevant. a strong chemical variability was observ ... | 2010 | 20981614 |
| Antifungal activity and chemical composition of essential oils from Smyrnium olusatrum L. (Apiaceae) from Italy and Portugal. | The essential oils and supercritical CO(2) extracts of wild Smyrnium olusatrum L. growing in Sardinia (Italy) and in Portugal were investigated. For the study, oils were isolated from total plant aerial part (umbels containing seeds). The content of ß-phellandrene (67.3% vs. 42.7%) and a-pinene (31.9% vs. 1.2%), respectively, the main components of Portuguese and Italian essential oils, declined during the maturation stage of the umbels. Contrarily, some other important components, particularly ... | 2011 | 21902563 |
