On assignment in the Philippines, archaeologist Annja Creed meets with a contact to verify some information. Easy enough. But when the man doesn't turn out to be whom he said he was, Annja finds herself handcuffed, blindfolded and kidnapped. And to make matters worse, she's a prisoner of the dreaded Abu Sayyaf, a notorious terrorist group.
Desperate to escape, Annja is able to flee after slaying one of her captors. But she soon gets lost in the hostile jungle, which is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of Moro warriors who fought off conquistadors with their blades. As she tries to stay a step ahead of the terrorists and not-so-dead spirits with a taste for human flesh, Annja's not sure she'll leave the jungle alive....

10. A method for the treatment or prevention of denture stomatitis in a human wearing dentures consisting essentially of adhering said dentures to the oral mucosa of the wearer using a denture adhesive material comprising the antimicrobial composition of claim 1.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to antimicrobial compositions for use in controlling the growth of microorganisms in the oral cavity and on dental prostheses. The antimicrobial compositions of the invention are useful as denture adhesives and as denture cleansing creams or soaking compositions. The invention also relates to methods for making and using such antimicrobial compositions.
2. Description of Related Art
Dentures and dental plates function as a substitute for missing teeth in the mouth. While dentures are usually carefully fitted for the user, the fit can change over time, causing discomfort and slippage. To alleviate the discomfort and to control the slippage, a denture adhesive may be applied to the denture. Denture adhesives usually comprise water swellable gums and/or polymers suspended in oils and petrolatum. The gums and/or polymers hydrate and become tacky when introduced to the saliva in the oral cavity, thus holding the dentures in place. Oils and petrolatum are traditionally used in the composition to avoid the premature washing away of the adhesive actives due to the constant flow of saliva through the oral cavity.
Candida albicans is one species of bacteria known to cause denture stomatitis, which is a serious infection of the oral mucosa. Denture stomatitis generally develops due to poor-fitting dentures or poor denture cleanliness. Normally, mucosal infections are not a problem since natural substances found in the saliva act to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. Dentures however, are known to prevent saliva from getting to and contacting the mucosal surfaces beneath the denture. Without the presence of saliva to wash the mucosal surface under the denture, bacterial species such as C. albicans can flourish and cause disease.
To control bacterial growth, many different approaches have been tried. Dentifrices have been combined with antibacterial agents such as Triclosan, and mouthwashes and oral rinses, such as Listerine� mouthwash, advertise effectiveness in killing germs. Unfortunately, dentifrices and mouthwashes do not solve the problem of denture stomatitis. The dentures can still prevent saliva from reaching the oral mucosa during use, and C. albicans can still flourish.
Others have tried to incorporate antimicrobial agents into denture adhesives to inhibit growth of C. albicans and prevent stomatitis. Unfortunately, as shown below, many antimicrobial agents known to be effective against C. albicans have been tested and have failed to show any significant efficacy in a denture adhesive against C. albicans. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it appears that these antimicrobial agents may have been deactivated or sequestered in the matrix of the denture adhesive. There is still a strong need in the art for antimicrobial agents that can remain effective against C. albicans in a denture adhesive while retaining acceptable adhesive and organoleptic qualities.
Denture adhesive compositions and denture creams are well known in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 5,424,058 to Rajaiah et al., for example, discloses denture stabilizing compositions comprising the mixed partial salts of a lower alkyl vinyl ether/maleic acid copolymer (AVE/MA). U.S. Pat. No. 4,518,721 to Dhabhar et al. is directed to a hydrophilic denture adhesive consisting of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and poly(oxy) ethylene oxide in a hydrophilic vehicle. The salts discussed in that patent include zinc and strontium. The AVE/MA copolymer is preferably combined with a second co-adhesive selected from the group consisting of natural gums, saccharide and cellulose derivatives and mixtures thereof. U.S. Pat. No. 5,395,867 to Prosise et al. is directed to denture adhesives with extended holding power comprising the mixed calcium, sodium, strontium, zinc, magnesium and potassium salts of the AVE/MA copolymer together with a non-cross linked non-ionic guar gum in an oil base carrier.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,369,145 to Gasman et al. teaches a denture adhesive composition comprising carboxymethyl cellulose and a partially neutralized sodium salt of AVE/MA copolymer that is further crosslinked with zinc and, optionally, other cations. The denture adhesive provides strong adhesion and bonding properties and is rapidly hydrated when applied in the oral cavity. Other denture adhesive compositions comprising mixed salts of a lower alkyl vinyl ether/maleic acid or maleic anhydride copolymers are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,304,616 to Rajaiah et al., 5,204,414 to Pelah et al., and 5,006,571 to Kumar et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,470,814 to Chang also teaches a neutralized cross-linked polyacrylic acid and a hydrophilic polymer such as carboxymethyl cellulose or hydroxy propyl guar gum. None of these adhesives, however, are asserted to have antimicrobial or antibacterial properties.
Many efforts have been directed to antimicrobial compositions in the oral cavity. U.S. Pat. No. 5,403,579 to Michaels et al., for example, is directed to compositions for enhancing oral hygiene consisting of an antimicrobial compound comprising a higher alkyl-N-sulfobetaine together with a high alkyl N,N-dimethylamine oxide in a carrier base, which is formulated with other ingredients as an antiseptic mouthwash or toothpaste. These mouthwashes and toothpastes reduce plaque, calculus, bad breath and cavities.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,006,340 to Atsuta et al. is directed to a curable tooth restoration polymer that can act as a sustained release carrier for an antimicrobial agent. A polymerization initiator and other fillers react to harden and repair damaged enamel, and the polymer slowly releases the bactericidal agent to prevent or retard growth of microflora in the mouth.
The use of antimicrobial agents generally is well known. U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,113 to West et al., for example, discloses the use of copper hydrate together with 8-hydroxy quinoline as a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent in agricultural and mammalian veterinary applications and for human use as well. U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,000 to Timmerran et al. discloses biocidal quinzoline and isoquinoline derivatives including copper complexes thereof. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,745,832 to Roth et al. and 2,769,006 to Kalberg disclose metal quinolates such as 8-hydroxy quinoline and copper, calcium and magnesium salts thereof as useful fungicidal actives.
One expired patent, U.S. Pat. No. 2,574,476 to Heath et al., discloses an antiseptic dental plate adhesive to control bacteria that cause bad breath. The adhesive comprises 8-hydroxy quinoline as the active antimicrobial in an oil and petrolatum base. U.S. Pat. No. 3,003,988 to Germann et al. also discloses the use of 8-hydroxyquinoline as an antibacterial agent in a denture adhesive.
The principal object of the present invention therefore is to provide a denture adhesive cream, denture cleanser cream, or denture soaking cleanser that significantly reduces the population of Candida albicans in the mouth. Preferably, C. albicans should be reduced by at least 99.9% at the oral mucosa/denture interface to provide relief to denture wearers who suffer from denture stomatitis.
An advantage of the invention is that the antimicrobial agents incorporated in the denture adhesive of the invention do not interfere with the adhesive and cohesive properties of the denture adhesive. The agents also do not adversely affect the organoleptic qualities of the denture adhesive.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will be obvious from this description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
To achieve the foregoing objects and following the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention provides a superior, long-lasting denture adhesive that contains an antimicrobial agent. The agent is released over time for the prevention of denture stomatitis and other conditions caused or exacerbated by the presence of unwanted microorganisms in the mouth. More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a denture adhesive with superior, long-lasting strength and hold that comprises 8-hydroxy quinoline and copper (II) salts, which together are extremely effective against a common but harmful micro-organism, Candida albicans.
To achieve the foregoing objects and following the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention provides a superior, long-lasting denture adhesive that contains an antimicrobial agent. The agent is released over time for the prevention of denture stomatitis and other conditions caused or exacerbated by the presence of unwanted microorganisms in the mouth. More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a denture adhesive with superior, long-lasting strength and hold that comprises nystatin, which is extremely effective against C. albicans.
Denture adhesives in accordance with the invention may be formulated as creams, powders or liners. The invention may also comprise cleaning formulations, such as effervescent tablets, liquids, soaking solutions, wipes and dentifrice-type creams and gels. Cleaning agents, however, do not provide the continuous benefits of adhesives.
To achieve the foregoing objects and purpose of the invention, the invention further provides a method for treating the oral mucosa comprising the step of administering to dentures, and thereby the oral mucosa, a composition that releases an antimicrobial agent selected from the group consisting of nystatin and a combination of 8-hydroxy quinoline and at least one copper (II) salt.
Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention.
This invention relates to a new antimicrobial denture adhesive, denture cleansing cream, or denture soaking or brushing cleanser composition designed to be effective in reducing the population of Candida albicans. C. albicans is the primary microorganism responsible for the most commonly encountered intraoral abnormality among denture users, denture stomatitis. This composition is able to slowly release the active ingredient, which maybe nystatin or a combination of 8-hydroxyquinoline (or its salts) and at least one copper (II) salt, from the oil-based vehicle of the adhesive composition.
The invention not only provides superior bonding and adherent properties to fasten the denture to the oral mucosa of the wearer securely, but also provides a long lasting, sustained release of an antimicrobial agent to the area defined by the underside of the denture and the mucosal surface. This antimicrobial action is particularly effective against Candida albicans which is the bacteria largely, if not solely, responsible for the oral condition known as denture stomatitis.
The active antimicrobial ingredient in the adhesive composition of the present invention may be the combination of a of 8-hydroxy quinoline or its salt, such as 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate, and 8-hydroxyquinoline benzoate, and copper(II) compounds, including, but not limited to, copper(II) chloride, copper(II) sulfate, copper(II) acetate, copper(II) bromide, copper(II) carbonate, copper(II) fluoride, copper(II) gluconate, copper(II) hydroxide, copper(II) hydroxide phosphate, copper(II) methoxide, copper(II) nitrate, copper(II) oxide, copper(II) perchlorate, copper(II) sulfide and any hydrated forms of the aforementioned copper(II) compound.
The 8-hydroxyquinoline or its salt may comprise any amount of the denture adhesive or other delivery system that is effective in inhibiting growth of C. albicans or other microorganism in combination with a copper(II) salt. Preferably, however the 8-hydroxyquinoline or its salt comprises from about 0.0001% to about 0.5% by weight or its salt may comprise from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of the denture adhesive and most preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.1% by weight of the denture adhesive.
Likewise, the copper(II) salt may comprise any amount of the denture adhesive or other delivery system that is effective in inhibiting growth of C. albicans or other microorganism in combination with 8-hydroxyquinoline (or its salts). Preferably, the copper(II) salt comprises from about 0.0001% to about 1% by weight of the denture adhesive. More preferably the copper (II) salt comprises from about 0.001% to about 0.1% by weight of the denture adhesive and most preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.06% by weight.
Together, the combined ingredients may comprise any amount of the denture adhesive or other delivery system that is effective in inhibiting growth of C. albicans or other microorganism. Preferably, the combined ingredients comprise from about 0.0001% to about 2.0% by weight of the denture adhesive, preferably 0.001% to about 1.0% by weight, and more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight of the denture adhesive.
The ranges for the 8-hydroxyquinoline (or its salts) and the copper(II) salts given above are for the denture adhesive creams described herein. Other delivery systems, including denture adhesive powders and liners may require different levels of materials to be effective in practice of the invention. For example, incorporation of the antimicrobial agents of the invention into an effervescent tablet denture cleanser may permit significantly higher levels of such agents to accomplish very high levels of antimicrobial activity without being concerned about organoleptic qualities of the cleaning bath made using the tablet.
8-hydroxyquinoline and copper(II) compounds did not show significant activity against C. albicans when incorporated individually into an oil-based denture adhesive. When combined, however, these compounds apparently form a metal complex that proves lethal against C. albicans when the denture adhesive is hydrated by saliva. This presumed metal complex apparently is able to diffuse from the oil phase of the adhesive vehicle into the aqueous phase and retain antimicrobial activity at the oral mucosa/denture interface.
The mode of action against various bacteria and fungi of 8-hydroxyquinoline copper salts has been well investigated. It was shown by Albert (Albert, A. et al. British J. of Experimental Pathology, 34(2):119-130, (1953)) that the ability of 8-hydroxyquinoline to form metal complexes with divalent metals was the main factor that determined antimicrobial activity of the compounds. Divalent metallic ions form two kinds of complexes with 8-hydroxyquinoline, a 1:1 complex in which one metallic cation is bound by chelation to only one 8-hydroxyquinoline anion, and a 1:2 complex in which the metallic ion is saturated by combination with two 8-hydroxyquinoline anions. When there is an excess of metallic ions the 1:1 complex is favored, whereas when 8-hydroxyquinoline is in excess, the 1:2 complex is favored. These two complexes differ greatly in their physicochemical properties. The 1:1 complex is positively charged, freely soluble in water and almost insoluble in lipoids and lipoid-solvents and show antibacterial activity. The 1:2 complex is electrochemically neutral, freely soluble in lipoids and lipoid-solvents, is almost insoluble in water and is devoid of antibacterial activity. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the ability of the 8-hydroxyquinoline and copper (II) salts to form two different complexes with such different properties may account for its surprising and unexpected activity.
Nystatin, on the other hand, is a well-known polyene antifungal, antibiotic complex. It has been described in the literature and its purification has been described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,832,719 to Vandeputte, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,517,100 to Renella. As stated above, this ingredient may comprise any amount of a denture adhesive or other delivery system that will be effective against C. albicans. Preferably, however, the nystatin comprises from about 0.0001% to about 5% by weight of the denture adhesive, preferably from about 0.001% to about 0.5% by weight and most preferably from about 0.01% by weight to about 0.05% by weight.
The salt derivatives of 8-hydroxyquinoline are incorporated into the denture adhesive or can be formulated into a denture adhesive liner, powder or liquid. These systems generally further comprise mineral oils, petrolatum, water swellable gums, and a base comprising the partial mixed salts of lower alkyl vinyl ether/maleic acid or maleic anhydride copolymers. Other ingredients may be found in these systems include a hydrophilic compound such as cellulose derivatives including carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and the like as well as flavorants, colorants, stabilizers and flow agents such as fumed silica and the like. Liners may also include a support matrix, such as a polymeric material, that provides a base for the adhesive material.
Specifically, the mixed partial salts of the lower alkyl vinyl ether/maleic acid or maleic anhydride copolymers comprise the partial calcium, zinc, sodium, magnesium and potassium salt compounds as set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,395,867 to Prosise et al. and 5,424,058 to Rajaiah et al. both of which are incorporated by reference herein. The copolymer of the invention is preferably a vinyl alkyl ether/maleic acid or anhydride copolymer, but other polymers may be used. The preferred copolymer is a copolymer available from GAF corporation, Wayne, N.J., under the trademark "GANTREZ" in two forms: the acid form is sold under the trademark GANTREZ S Series and the preferred type of acid is identified as GANTREZ S95 or GANTREZ S97. The anhydride form is sold as the GANTREZ AN Series, and the preferred anhydride is GANTREX AN169.
Preferably, the salt comprises from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the total denture adhesive composition. More preferably, the salt comprises from about 20% to about 40% of the final denture adhesive composition and most preferably about 30% by weight of the denture adhesive composition.
The water swellable gums useful in the antimicrobial denture adhesive creams of the present invention include natural and synthetic gums such as cellulose and its derivatives, acacia gum, traganth, karaya gum, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), guar gum and its derivatives, gelatin, algins, sodium alginate and mixtures thereof.
Carboxymethyl cellulose is used in denture adhesive creams for sensitizing the adhesive to moisture, enhancing the cohesive properties of the formulation and improving gel strength. Carboxyethyl cellulose and carboxypropyl cellulose materials may also be for this purpose.
Carboxymethyl cellulose preferably comprises from about 10% to about 30% by weight of the denture adhesive composition, more preferably from about 15% to about 25% and most preferably about 24% of the composition. The carboxymethyl cellulose may be present in the form of a full or partial salt, preferably a sodium salt. During use, zinc or other divalent cations from the MVE/MA salt may replace at least some of the sodium and or crosslinks within the carboxymethyl cellulose. These cations may also replace some linkages between the cellulose and the MVE/MA salt formed during the manufacturing process.
Sodium carboxymethylcellulose is a powder which, when moistened, becomes hydrated and tacky or gummy in consistency with adhesive characteristics. The sodium carboxymethyl cellulose gums that are employed in this invention are water soluble, anionic, long chain polymers derived from cellulose.
Properties vary with the average number of carboxymethyl groups that are substituted per anhydroglucose unit in each cellulose molecule. This property is generally referred to as "the degree of substitution," with the maximum substitution possible designated as "3.0" since there are just three hydroxy groups capable of reaction in each anhydroglucose unit. For the practice of this invention, it has been found that one or more such cellulose gums having a degree of substitution of from about 0.4 to about 1.2 are suitable. The viscosity of a one percent solution of the gum, measured at 25� C., should be in the range of from about 400 to 4,500, and preferably from about 1,500 to 2,500, centipoises.
Other ingredients present in the denture adhesive include thickening agents and carriers such as petrolatum and mineral oil, flavors, colors, preservatives and non-toxic anticaking agents such as silica, magnesium stearate and talc. These ingredients, and the appropriate levels at which the ingredients should be present in a particular formulation for a specific purpose, are well known in the art.
For a cream base, the mineral oil or other carrier preferably comprises from about 10% to about 30% by weight of the denture adhesive, preferably from about 15% to about 25% by weight. Petrolatum or some other thickening agent comprises from about 15% to about 30% by weight of the denture adhesive composition preferably from about 20% to about 30% by weight.
Other nonactive ingredients comprise colorants, flavors and preservatives and may comprise up to about 10% by weight of the denture adhesive composition.
Preservatives that may be used in the denture adhesive formulations of the invention include those known agents conventionally employed in the art, such as benzoic acid and sodium benzoate; the parabens; sorbic acid and sorbates; propionic acid and the propionates; the acetic acid and acetates; nitrates and nitrites; sulfur dioxide and the sulfites. The parabens include the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid. Methyl paraben and propyl paraben are the preferred preservatives of the invention, preferably utilized in amounts of about 0.03% to about 0.6% by weight of the total denture adhesive composition.
Sweetening agents are optionally employed and may be selected from a wide range of materials including water-soluble agents, water-soluble artificial sweeteners, and dipeptide-based sweeteners, including mixtures thereof. In general, the amount of sweetener when used will vary with the desired amount of sweetener selected for a particular denture adhesive formulation. This amount may be about 0.001% to about 5.0% by weight of the final denture adhesive composition.
Colorants may also be used in the present invention and include pigments such as titanium dioxide or dyes suitable for food, drug and cosmetic applications. Theses colorants are known as F.D. & C. dyes. The materials acceptable for the foregoing spectrum of use are preferably water-soluble. Illustrative examples include indigo dye, known as F.D. & C. Blue No. 2, which is the disodium salt of 5,5-indigotindi-sulfonic acid. Similarly, the dye known as F.D. & C. Green No. 1, comprises a triphenylmethane dye and is the monosodium salt of the 4-[4-N-ethyl-p-sulfobenzylamino) diphenylmethylenel [1-N-ethyl-p-sulfobenzylamino) diphenylmethylenel-[1-N-ethyl-N-P-sulfo-benzyl)2,5-cyclohexadieniminel. Another useful colorant is F.D. & C. Red No. 3. A full recitation of F.D. & C. and D. & C. colorants and their corresponding chemical structures may be found in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition in Volume 6, at pages 561-595.
Excipients may also comprise of from about 0.001% to about 5.0% by weight of the total composition.
The compositions of the present invention are manufactured in an art-recognized manner known to those skilled in the art, such as in a powder, cream, ointment, liquid, paste, liner or film. The compositions of the present invention are preferably manufactured using appropriate micronization techniques such as fluid energy, air jet or hammer milling of drum dried mixed partial salts of AVE/MA copolymer. Suitable examples of such formulations are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,518,721 and 4,514,528, both to Dhabhar et al. and both of which are incorporated by reference herein. The antimicrobial agent may be added at any time during the preparation process.
One advantage of the invention is that the antimicrobial compositions used in the denture adhesive creams do not lose their effectiveness. Other antimicrobials have been tried in denture adhesives and have failed. Some of those failed antimicrobials include: 2,4,4-trichloro-2-hydroxydiphenyl ether (triclosan), chlorhexidine, benzlkonium chloride, ethanol, PVP iodine, zinc salts, copper salts, stannous fluoride, hexyl resorcinol, benzyl alcohol, silver sulfadiazine, potassium benzoate, calcium propionate, sulfacetamide, quinaldic acid, L-hisidine, hexachlorophene, sodium percarbonate, menthol, methyl salicylate, eucalyptol, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, 1,10 phenathrolien, 8-mercaptoquinoline, 6-methylquinoline, 2-methylquinoline, 2-quinolinethiol, miconazole, clotrimazole, amphotericin B, and zinc undecylenate. The failure of these compositions does not appear to satisfy any consistent theory. Without being bound by theory, it seems that the agents are sequestered, neutralized or otherwise deactivated by the complex polymeric hydrated matrix found in a functioning denture adhesive.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention and to describe and more fully set forth how one skilled in the art may prepare specific embodiments of the invention. The examples are intended for illustrative purposes only, however, and those skilled in the art will understand that changes and/or alterations may be made that are not set forth in these examples.
Antimicrobial denture adhesives were prepared having the formulations set out in Table 1 in accordance with the following process: purified water was charged into a main reaction kettle equipped with a high speed stirrer. The anhydrous MVE/MA copolymer was slowly added to the main mix kettle, with continuous mixing. The batch was then heated to 85�-95� C. Water was also charged into a secondary kettle and NaOH, ZnO and MgO (all USP grade anhydrous) were added slowly. The mixture formed a slurry which was slowly added to the main reaction kettle while mixing at high speed to prevent localized reaction. The temperature was then lowered and mixing was continued. The resulting solution was poured into shallow stainless steel drying trays, and the trays were placed in a hot air convection oven at 70� C. for 18-20 hours to give a dried salt. The resulting partial salt was then combined with the other ingredients to form a denture adhesive formulation.

A Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) culture (1.0 mL) was placed in 99.0 mL of Sabouraud Dextrose broth. This suspension was shaken for 24 hours at 37� C. to allow the C. albicans population to grow. In a separate flask (#2), 5.0 mL of fetal calf serum was added to 95.0 mL of sterile saline solution. After the C. albicans was allowed to grow for 24 hours, the contents of flask #2 is added to the C. albicans suspension. This 200 mL of Candida solution was the inoculum used. The density of C. albicans of this preparation was always in the 107 CFU/mL range.
A sample of the denture adhesive formulation to be tested (2 grams) was spread evenly to cover the bottom of a 100�15 mm petri dish. Twenty (20.0) inoculum were placed in the petri dish covering the adhesive sample. The petri dish was placed in a 37� C. incubator for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the sample was removed from the incubator and a 1.0 mL aliquot was taken from the surface of the adhesive. The aliquot was diluted with sterile saline solution and plated with Sabouraud Dextrose agar. The agar plates were incubated at 37� C. for 48 hours and then counts were made to determine the number of colony forming units per mL (CFU/mL).
For comparative purposes, denture adhesive formulations were prepared using different antimicrobial compounds. These were then plated on the cultures as described herein and the number of colony forming units per mL were determined. The denture adhesive formulations, were identical, except that the antimicrobial compounds were, of course, different. The antimicrobials used, and the results obtained (expressed as the log of the reduction in colony forming units), are shown in Table 2.

Denture adhesive formulations incorporating a mixture of 8-hydroxyquinoline and copper(II) salts gave far greater kill rates (7� and 2�, respectively) than the other antimicrobial compounds which either were ineffective in killing C. albicans or were not released from the denture adhesive to become effective.
The purpose of the above description is to illustrate some embodiments of the present invention without implying a limitation. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made in the apparatus or procedure of the invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.

I just want to know if second babies tend to come on/before or after one's EDD? With my first I had to be induced at 42 weeks since my DD still wouldnt come and my blood preasure was sky rocketing!! I'm 37 weeks now and really hoping that history does not repeat itself otherwise ugggghhh shoot me now! lol I'm as ready as can be for my lil guy to come!!
2nd pregnancy on/before/after EDD
Comments (5)
Mama to 3 sweet boys, born '03, '07, and '10. New baby due May, 2012!
I don't think there's any definate answer, really. Personally, all mine came earlier. #1 was born 3 days before DD; #2 8 days, #3 23 days, and #4 is 12 days from her due date, but will be here in 7 days or less.
Mommy {26} & Daddy {30} = Kaydence {11-5-06}, Ethan {1-29-08}, Raiden {2-13-10) & Zoie (4-29-12} ^angel babies^ {11-3-12 & 1-15-13)
Janaz'ia Ayana 7~15~98 <3
Jarell Antonio 8~19~01 <3
Ja'Cai Anaya born 5~8~12 <3
Whether second babies come on, before or after due date is pretty much anyone's guess! They don't necessarily follow a pattern, although some women do seem to a little bit. What I mean is, some women have a tendency to going early or going late. (Every one of my mother's five births were one to four weeks early; all, or nearly all 11 births of another lady I know were late). However, it doesn't mean that your first birth has necessarily set the pattern for all others. My mother-in-law was late with her first child, and early with all the rest - four weeks early with her last (my husband)!
DD (7), DS (4), DS #2 arrived 5/21/12!

I have a Joe Rocket jacket that I use during late spring to early fall, when temps start to hit mid 40's is when I need to put on layer and start to get ready for my bike to go to sleep. I already wear a long sleeve collar shirt (work requirement) and adding a thick sweater makes it very hard to zip my jacket up. I also use a neck flees since my collar is short cut. So I'm looking at Teknic, Rev'It and Olympia as my winter only gear. My most important need is to wear as little added clothing as possible over my shirt and my neck doesn't get called. I want to avoid wearing a neck warmer. Being waterproof is a plus.
To sum up: My #1 thing is being warm during my morning (30 min) commute, #2 staying dry, #3 - good protection. Anything above 50's doesn't concern me as I will be using my Joe Rocket gear.
From everyones experience, can I get what I need from these brands Teknic; Rev'It or Olympia? How high do collars go? Will they stop wind from entering or do I still need to wear my fleece neck warmer? Are there any other issues I should be aware before I buy?
I get hot easy and I can bare cool temp well, but have a limit.
My choices are:
Teknic - Freeway (Hi-Viz)
Rev'It - Horizon (Hi-Viz)
Rev'It - Energy (Hi-Viz)
Rev'It - Legecy (Hi-Viz)
Olympia - AST2 (Hi-Viz)
BMG - Discovery
Hi-Viz is for being viziable and safe but will consider other colors.
I will be heading over to RevZilla store in PA to exchange my Olympia X-Moto this Saturday.
Also any pance recomindation is appriciated as well. Keep in mind that this gear is WINTER USE ONLY!!!
Thank you for everyonce help.
Hey KonnMan04,

Woo Hoo!
I'm not into the club and bar scene, and I could really care less about watching TV or sports. It's not what floats my boat. I would rather focus that time, energy, and money on something more logical, rewarding, and fulfilling. I value relationships more then material objects. I do like relaxing and watching movies. I guess its the dumb 'reality' shows that I don't care for. The educational shows I like. Not to sound uptight. But if you get where I'm coming from, then you'll earn a couple points from the start :p Getting out and having an adventure is more like it to me. I tend to get up early. I enjoy having the whole day ahead of me. But I don't mind sleeping in sometimes, especially when it's cozy. And with that being said, I like to cuddle ;) You should take care of yourself physically and mentally, be communicative, loving, non-judgmental, non-playing of games. If you have some goals and in the process of achieving them, that is good also, as long as they are not purely materialistic. Being witty and funny tends to help too. Be yourself. I am a strong, intelligent, determined guy with many interests and hobbies. So ask me about them, that way we can have an actual conversation. Because that's the point of this, right? Haha. Don't be shy, otherwise we'll both miss that opportunity. I usually try (but don't always succeed) at some point during the year to just take about a month off and go immerse myself somewhere. The last place I did this at was in Nepal.

Mother gets 99 years for beating, gluing daughter: Has the US had it with bad parents?
Elizabeth Escalona, a 23-year-old mother of five, was sentenced to 99 years in prison after severely beating her daughter and gluing the girlŌĆÖs hands to a wall. The sentence is one sign that society ŌĆō and the courts ŌĆō are taking child abuse more seriously.
Tony Gutierrez/AP
A 99-year prison sentence for a 23-year-old Dallas mother who admitted she had acted like a ŌĆ£monsterŌĆØ when gluing her daughterŌĆÖs hands and beating her into a coma last year suggests that society and the courts are taking a harsher view of neglectful, abusive, and violent parents, experts say.
The mom, Elizabeth Escalona, pleaded this week with the court for counseling and rehabilitation so she could one day have her five children returned to her. State Judge Larry Mitchell acknowledged evidence that Ms. Escalona had herself been abused as a child, but said that didnŌĆÖt excuse her from beating her 2-year-old until she nearly died.
ŌĆ£For this you must be punished,ŌĆØ the judge said on Friday. The sentence for the felony injury to a child conviction will be appealed.
Spanking or not spanking: a tale of parenting peer pressure
The Dallas ŌĆ£super-gluingŌĆØ abuse case joins a litany of recent media stories involving parents going to extreme lengths to punish children.
Those cases include the ŌĆ£good momŌĆØ in Alaska who was let off on probation in August after being arrested and tried for using hot sauce to punish an adopted son for lying. Last week, the parents of an emaciated 18-year-old Georgia boy were arrested after it became apparent he had spent so much of his life locked in a room that his two sisters didnŌĆÖt know the color of his hair.
Also on Friday, a Detroit jury found a 32-year-old father of seven guilty of murder and child abuse for beating his toddler daughter to death with a stick wrapped in a towel after she had an accident, and then covering the crime up by claiming his child had disappeared after a carjacking.
ThereŌĆÖs little evidence that incidence of child abuse as a whole is on the increase, though a recently released Yale University study showed a growing incidence of abuse involving children less than a
┬Āyear old.
But itŌĆÖs clear to experts in the field that major abuse scandals involving institutions like Penn State University and the Catholic Church have brought more scrutiny of child abuse, which in turn is being reflected in how authorities and courts view parental conduct.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs actually little relationship between sentence severity and deterrent effects, but whatŌĆÖs much more important is that people have a sense that if they engage in a certain kind of behavior theyŌĆÖre going to get caught and sanctioned,ŌĆØ says David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. ŌĆ£And in both cases of sexual and physical abuse, thereŌĆÖs been a big increase in the sense that this is something that could get [parents] into a lot of trouble.ŌĆØ
The week-long hearing in Dallas painted Ms. Escalona as a struggling mother of five who endured physical and sexual abuse both as a child and as an adult. But evidence also showed that she had been a gang member, had abused drugs and alcohol, and had lied to authorities who inquired into how the beating happened.
According to the girlŌĆÖs siblings, Escalona, upset about potty training, hit her daughter, Jocelyn Cedillo, with a belt and dragged her around by her feet. She kicked the girl, struck her with a jug of milk, then used Super Glue to fasten the girlŌĆÖs hands to a wall.
In testimony, Escalona claimed she didnŌĆÖt know why she glued the girlŌĆÖs hands. But she acknowledged the evidence. ŌĆ£I hit her, I kicked her constantly and she didnŌĆÖt deserve that,ŌĆØ Escalona said of her attack, which Judge Mitchell said left the girl at ŌĆ£the edge of death.ŌĆØ The girl has since recovered fully.
During the trial, prosecutor Eren Price showed the word ŌĆ£liarŌĆØ on a projection screen and later replaced it with the word ŌĆ£monster.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£You can give Jocelyn and her brothers and sister peace," Ms. Price told the judge. "You can give them peace, so that when they're sitting around the dinner table at Thanksgiving with their big family, they're not worried that their mother is going to come walking through the door."
Escalona pleaded with the judge to believe a counselor who testified that she could be rehabilitated
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm asking for a second opportunity to show you IŌĆÖm not the monster everybody thinks I am,ŌĆØ Escalona said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm asking from the bottom of my heart to give me a second chance.ŌĆØ
EscalonaŌĆÖs attorney, Angie NŌĆÖDuka, had asked for probation or a short prison sentence. ŌĆ£Giving Elizabeth the opportunity to be a better mother, giving her the opportunity to get counseling services, that will be justice for Jocelyn,ŌĆØ NŌĆÖDuka said.
Under Texas law, Judge Mitchell had a range of punishment options, from probation to a life sentence. Of the 2,100 Texas inmates serving prison time for felony injury offenses against children or the elderly, about 5 percent received sentences of 99 years or greater, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
ŌĆ£Outside of the context of this trial, I think even the state would find you a sympathetic figure, because they prosecute people for what was done to you,ŌĆØ Judge Mitchell said. ŌĆ£But I canŌĆÖt consider that evidence outside the context of this trial.ŌĆØ
The Dallas case is an extreme example of what are daily, ordinary parental and institutional dilemmas over how to discipline children and whether spanking and paddling are appropriate ways to help kids curb bad behavior.
That debate is alive and well as 31 states have outlawed paddling in school, while 19 still allow it. The Center for Effective Discipline, which seeks to end corporal punishment in schools, says over 200,000 school kids are struck each year in the US, though that number has been declining steadily since the 1980s. Total child abuse cases have declined by at least one-quarter since 1997, recent studies suggest.
Texas is a hotbed of the debate.
In September, Springtown High School expanded its corporal punishment policy after parents complained that a male administrator had paddled two girls for speaking sarcastically to an adult. And last year a Texas county judge, William Adams, had to defend himself against a video put on YouTube by his daughter, showing him administering powerful belt lashes as punishment for illegally downloading songs from the Internet.
Even as state laws allow parents broad latitude in what researchers call "pro-social use of violence," support for spanking has been declining for decades. From 1986 to 2008, it has declined from 83 percent to 70 percent, according to the General Social Survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
Indeed, the decline of spanking as a societal norm has likely helped to put the focus on cases where discipline goes too far, researchers say. At the same time, too much focus on the most egregious cases of child abuse can breed cynicism rather than generate sympathy for how society can better support parents in the difficult task of raising well-adjusted children.
Cases like the one in Dallas ŌĆ£actually makes the problem seem harder to solve than it really is,ŌĆØ suggests Mr. Finkelhor at the University of New Hampshire. ŌĆ£People look at that and say, ŌĆśWeŌĆÖve got to get these people out of the gene pool,ŌĆÖ but the reality is that most child abuse and neglect, the kind that really causes the greatest amount of damage because itŌĆÖs the most frequent, is the result of things that are pretty easy to fix ŌĆō parents without proper parenting skills and parents who donŌĆÖt have enough social support.ŌĆØ

Michael Paul Oman-Reagan
Michael Paul Oman-Reagan (born 1976) is an American post-minimal post-conceptual artist and curator. Oman-Reagan is known for his work around socio-cultural and anthropological themes.[1]
"The art-world is rife with politicking. Ostensibly curators engage in acts of selection for the welfare of the artist. The act of selection, however, often creates a transformative rather than a transactional relationship between artist and exhibition space. A curator should be a conduit for democratic dialogue, not a "decider". -Michael Paul Oman-Reagan [2]
Quotes about[edit]
"He and I talk[ed] about anthropology, Gerhard Richter and the question of whether artists should strive for a recognizable style (I say yes; he says no)." - Author Richard Speer[3]
""This is by Michael Oman-Reagan," Engelman says. She sums up the work's appeal: "It's part of the quietness of fluorescence." There's another in the main hallway of her home. People would walk by it and walk by it and all of a sudden notice it, probably because of the way the light was shining and it would glow a little bit. And once you notice it you never could walk by that wall without seeing that stick. That to me is fascinating, the impact it has." - Collector Sylvia Engelman[4]

a) install easy
b) allow my content editors to simply add FAQs as they needed
c) categorize FAQs so that visitors could find what they needed quickly
d) provide customization of the view of the FAQ so that it matched my site's design
e) have excellent support should I need it.
This one delivered on ALL counts. Thanks.
My support issue was a question (not a problem) and I had my answer within 12 hours. Would have been faster if I'd been online some of that time. I was nearly chatting with him at the end. That's service!

Wool Stadium-cloth Trench Coat
2 Recommendations
theodyssey's recommendation
Rather than the more expected wool pea coat, why not buy yourself this lovely wool trench coat. It's an update to a classic style Fall style. (Particularly beautiful in yellow. My friend has it and I covet it.) The details on the arms are great, and of course, I love the fact that it has a detailed lining too. If I were going to meet Humphrey Bogart in the fog, this is the trench coat I'd want to be wearing.
My Collections:
daniellegrace's recommendation
This coat is definitely on my wishlist - so classy! If only I were preppy enough to wear J Crew, I would be all over this!

Rise, fathers, rise! 'tis Rome demands your help;
Rise, and revenge her slaughtered citizens,
Or share their fate! the corps 1 of half her senate
|Manure the fields of Thessaly, while we
If we should sacrifice our lives to honor,
Or wear them out in servitude and chains.
Rouse up, for shame! our brothers of Pharsalia
Point at their wounds, and cry aloud, 'To
CATO. Let not a torrent of impetuous zeal
Transport thee thus beyond the bounds of reason:
|True fortitude is seen in great exploits,
Are not the lives of those who draw the sword
In Rome's defence intrusted to our care?
|Should we thus lead them to a field of slaughter,
To grace our fall, and make our ruin glorious?
Lucius, we next would know what's your opinion.
Luc. My thoughts, I must confess, are turned on

UPDATE: Coroner asks for help ID'ing woman found dead in Sacramento River
The Shasta County Coroner's Office is asking for help identifying a woman found dead today in the Sacramento River.
The body of the unidentified woman was recovered this morning after being found in the Sacramento River near the Highway 44 bridge in Redding.
Sheriff's Lt. Mark Lillibridge said there were no signs of obvious trauma to the woman's body and she likely drowned.
Although Lillibridge said he was not certain who reported finding the body, he said Fish and Wildlife officials may have come across it while performing a salmon count along the river.
The body was taken by boat to a ramp near the Redding Rodeo grounds and was transferred to an awaiting Shasta County coroner's office van.
Coroner spokeswoman Mo Hern said the woman could be her late 30s.
She is about 5-foot-4, 130 pounds with dark brown or black long hair and brown eyes. The woman is physically fit and has a darker skin color, Hern said.
An autopsy will likely be held Thursday, Hern said. She didn't know how long the woman had been dead or how long she was in the water.
Anyone with information on the identity of the woman can call 225-5551.

Mr. Quagliata was presented the award in recognition of his long-term dedication and commitment to ensuring that residents of the South Shore have convenient access to high quality, compassionate health care services through South Nassau.
Temple B'Nai Sholom and Congregation Beth David merged March 4, 2011. The mission of the merged congregation is to promote the spiritual, educational and social welfare of its members; to maintain a house of worship for the Jewish community; to maintain a Hebrew School for the Jewish children and to maintain and promote facilities for youth and adult activities.
"I am deeply honored to be the inaugural recipient of this award," said Mr. Quagliata. "For me, it personifies the commitment to teamwork and service excellence by the more than
2,900 employees and 900 doctors who I have the privilege to work with to ensure that South Nassau fulfills its mission to meet the communities'
Mr. Quagliata was named president and CEO of South Nassau Communities Hospital in October 1998. He started his career at South Nassau in 1973, when he was appointed Chief Financial Officer, a position he held until his appointment as president and CEO. South Nassau is one of Long Island's largest and busiest community hospitals, with 435 beds, more than 875 physicians and 2,800 employees.

He is also a Past Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council, a body that comprises the chief executives of the 23 not-for-profit and public hospitals on Long Island. He also served on the Long Island Regional Advisory Committee of the New York State Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century (also known as the Berger Commission). Additional industry roles include past President and Advanced Member of the Metropolitan New York Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association.
He has been a fervent supporter of Long Island Blood Services throughout the years and, due to his dedication, is in part responsible for the increase in much-needed blood donations on Long Island. Mr. Quagliata is also a champion of programs to help combat breast cancer and is a member of the inaugural class of inductees to the 1-in-9 Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition Hewlett House Hall of Fame. He is also responsible for spearheading South Nassau Communities Hospital's 5K Breast Cancer Run/Walk that attracts more than 1,500 participants annually.
Numerous organizations have honored Mr. Quagliata for his enduring commitment to ensuring the quality and vitality of healthcare services on Long Island and in New York.

Hartman Award; School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. Sixty-Over-Sixty Award; and Hispanic Brotherhood of Rockville Centre Annual Scholarship Dinner Honoree.

Barco has introduced a DVE option for the FSN series, a 3Gb/s-ready multiformat video production switcher line. Using China's BIRTV 2009 exposition as the forum, Barco will offer hands-on demonstrations of the FSN's DVE functionality throughout the four-day show.
Each DVE card provides two channels of real-time 2D digital video effects, and up to two DVE cards can be installed in the system's FSN-1400 chassis — for a total of four DVE channels at your fingertips. In line with FSN's positioning as a midmarket switcher with large-market features, the DVE option offers advanced features normally found only in high-end switchers. These include the ability to assign DVE channels to both the cut and fill signals independently, full key frame editing, dynamic sizing, positioning and cropping, programmable borders and shadows and freeze, strobe and color effects. All DVE moves can be performed automatically using the auto trans button, manually using the T-BAR or automatically from the DVE menu itself.
Another feature is the DVE's ability to smoothly transform between any PIP border type — hard-edged, soft-edged, full halo, inside halo or outside halo. For the live production and events market, the DVE also features a shot box. This feature enables users to quickly store (and name) up to 128 unique single-key frame looks, which can be used on-air by themselves or combined into more creative effects.
