Treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis with methanol extract of Allium sativa [garlic], Azadirachta indica [Neem] and Accacia nilotica [Garad] in Gezira Central of Sudan

To assess the in vivo treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis using certain medicinal agents and non medicinal agents in Gezira State, Sudan. To evaluate the in vivo anti-lesihmanial activity of certain plant extracts that used traditionally in Sudan [Azadirachta indica [neem], Accacia nilotica [garad], Allium sativa [garlic, Thoum]]. A total of 72 cases with cutaneous leishmanisis were studied in Wad Madani Dermatology Teaching Hospital [September 1999 - December 2000]. They were from different parts of the Gezira state. The patients were interviewed and examined followed a special designed questionnaire. The cases showed different types of lesions with different duration and appeared in different areas of the body. The cases divided equally into six main groups [12 for each] for treatment with different agents including medicinal agents and plant methanol extracts

Density and molar volume of some high lead silicate glasses

Density measurements and molar volume calculations of some high lead silicate glasses were studied with the view to throw some light on the structure of these glasses. All glasses were melted in an electrically heated furnace at a temperature ranging from 1100 to 1200° for four hours. After complete melting, each molten glass was poured on an iron marver and was then annealed at the appropriate temperature. The experimental results obtained could be correlated to many factors such as the nature of the lead ion itself and also to the field strengths and ionic radii and volume of the different incorporated cations
