Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are being recommended as an infection prevention measure for COVID-19. Washing hands is a simple matter to eliminate and minimize germs on the hands with water and by adding certain ingredients, the use of hand sanitizer becomes must in recent circumstances. We have developed reliable and eco-friendly process for the synthesis of hand sanitizer gel that is a really useful tool in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Considering scanty literature available on the use of custard apple peel and seed for preparation of hand sanitizer gel, present study was undertaken to evaluate effect of hand sanitizer from custard apple peel and seed extract. The antimicrobial activity of the formulated gel was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii, Salmonella typhimurinum and Shigella sonnei by The Quality Assurance and Testing Center 3 (QUATEST 3) in Ho Chi Minh city, Viet Nam.

Pangi seeds contain flavonoids and are proven to have an antibacterial effect, though they are still used in a traditional way within the community. There is a need for it to be developed into a formula that is more practical and durable, such as Hand sanitizer. The purpose of this research is to formulate the preparation of Hand sanitizer from Pangi Seed Extract (Pangium edule Reinw). The seeds were extracted by maceration using distilled water and made into Hand sanitizer gel using TEA, Glycerin, Nipagin, and Aquades. The variations in the concentration of carbohydrate and sodium CMC base were 0.25%: 2%; 0.5%: 3%; 0.75%: 4%. The results showed that all three preparations before and after storage were homogeneous, pale yellow, and odorless. Besides, the viscosity of the gel ranges from 242471-4151 cP, but changes after storage. However, gel pH ranges from 5-6 and does not change after storage. In all the three preparations, no synergy occurred, and their spreadability ranged from 5cm to 7.5cm, undergoing changes after storage. This study concludes that the Pangi Seed extract might be formulated into a gel preparation with a Carbopol: Sodium CMC base concentration of 0.5%: 3% and meets all quality requirements.Keywords: Pangi Seed, Gel, Carbopol, Na. CMC, Hand sanitizer.Biji Pangi mengandung flavonoid serta terbukti memiliki efek antibakteri, namun penggunaannya oleh masyarakat masih secara tradisional sehingga perlu dikembangkan menjadi formula yang lebih praktis digunakan, dan lebih tahan lama seperti Hand sanitizer. Tujuan penelitian untuk memformulasikan sediaan Hand sanitizer dari ekstrak Biji Pangi (Pangium edule Reinw). Biji Pangi diekstraksi dengan cara maserasi menggunakan pelarut akuades dan dibuat menjadi gel Hand sanitizer menggunakan TEA, Gliserin, Nipagin, Akuades serta variasi konsentrasi basis Karbopol dan Natrium CMC yaitu 0,25%:2% ; 0,5%:3% ; 0,75%:4%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ketiga sediaan sebelum dan setelah penyimpanan homogen, berwarna kuning pucat, dan tidak berbau. Kekentalan gel berkisar`2471-4151 cP, tapi mengalami perubahan setelah penyimpanan. pH gel berkisar 5-6, tidak berubah setelah penyimpanan. Tidak terjadi sineresi pada ketiga sediaan. Daya sebar ketiga sediaan berkisar 5cm-7,5cm, mengalami perubahan setelah penyimpanan. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak Biji Pangi dapat diformulasikan menjadi sediaan gel dengan konsentrasi basis Karbopol: Natrium CMC yaitu 0,5% : 3% dan memenuhi semua persyaratan mutu.Kata Kunci : Biji Pangi, Gel, Karbopol, Na. CMC, Hand sanitizer.

Objective: to verify measures used in intensive care units to prevent infection related to health care. Methods: integrative review based on the data sources LILACS, SCOPUS, PubMed Central, Science Direct, Web of Science and CINAHL, whose descriptors used were: Infection Control and Intensive Care Units. Sample consisting of 146 studies. Results: thematic categories related to the relevant infection prevention measures were listed, developed in Intensive Care Units: bloodstream infection prevention measures, assistance-related pneumonia prevention measures, urinary tract infection prevention measure and preventive measures associated with general care. Conclusion: among the established thematic categories, care with skin preparation, oral hygiene, correct handling of the urinary catheter and daily bath with antiseptic were most frequently identified.

Galleria mellonella larvae feed on wax, pollen, honey and damage the combs with in active bee colonies and storage condition. Galleria mellonella larvae can bore tunnel and feed around the midrib base of the wax comb. Larvae produce silk fibers that can trap bee brood cells. Comb is completely covered with webbing and extracted matter of the larvae condition described as “Galleriasis”.  The study was carried out at Apiculture Lab of RVSKVV-ZARS-Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Morena (M.P.) during 2019-20. Different three concentration of bio-pesticides viz., Bacillus thuringiensis Kurstaki  (1, 1.5 and 2%), custard apple seed extract (2, 4and 6%) and Neem Oil (1, 2 and 3%) were used against the Galleria mellonella to assess the effect of larval mortality at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after treatment. There was no significant effect showed in all the treatments after 24 hours. The maximum mortality of Galleria mellonella larvae was recorded in Bacillus thuringiensis Kurstaki 2.0 percent concentration (46.67, 87.08 and 96.67%) after 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively and it was at par with custard apple seed extract 6.0 percent concentration (45.83, 85.0 and 93.75%). Neem oil 3.0 percent concentration expressed 38.33, 75.42 and 87.50 percent larval mortality after 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively. Whereas minimum mortality was noticed in Neem oil 1.0 percent at 48 hours (22.08%), at 72 hours (37.08%) and at 96 hours (56.25%) among the treatments. The higher concentration of all the three bio-pesticides was proved effectiveness against Galleria mellonella during investigation.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes bacteremia in COVID-19 pneumonitis patients. S. aureus is responsible for 80% of suppurative disease, with the skin surface as its natural habitat. So, maintaining hand hygiene during a pandemic is very important. Currently, people prefer the use of practical hand sanitizers. Most hand sanitizers contain alcohol, which has the potential to irritate. Thus, the active substance of coriander seed extract is used as a substitute for alcohol. Objective: To determine the characteristics of the gel and the concentration of coriander seed extract which gave antibacterial effect against S. aureus. Methods: The resulting hand sanitizer gel was then tested for characteristics and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus by the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method and analyzed by the One Way Anova-LSD method. Result: The results showed that preparations with concentrations of F1(2%), F2(4%), and F3(6%) respectively had inhibition zones of 1.00 ± 0.82 mm, 5.00 ± 0.41 mm, and 5 .25 ± 1.26 mm. Conclusion: Formulas 2 and 3 were able to inhibit the growth of S. aureus with moderate inhibition category. The hand sanitizer gel meets the requirements for organoleptic tests, pH, homogeneity, dispersibility, and adhesion. However, the viscosity of the preparation did not meet the requirements. Keywords: Coriander Seed Extract, Gel Hand Sanitizer, Antibacterial
