A method for preventing, treating, or ameliorating a microbial infection can include administering thymoquinone or a pharmaceutical composition comprising thymoquinone to a patient in need thereof. The patient may be suffering from a microbial infection caused by gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, or fungi. The microbial infection may be caused by gram negative bacteria. The gram-negative bacteria may include. The gram-negative bacteria may include. The microbial infection may be caused by antimicrobial sensitiveor antimicrobial resistant

Low dose pharmaceutical formulations may be prepared to deliver consistent low doses of a variety of pharmaceuticals with minimal additives. In particular, the low dose pharmaceutical formulations are solid unit dosage forms of low dose drug substances which may be prepared by a method that provides content uniformity across prepared solid unit dosage forms.

The measuring cup includes numerous embodiments configured for a user to precisely determine the cup contents without need to lift the cup to one's eye level or to lower the eye level to the level of the cup contents. The various embodiments include folding cups; cups having transparent passages in the wall; cups having adjustably positionable bottoms; cups having level indicator rods in the cup interior extending upward from the cup bottom; cups having one or more filaments extending across the cup interior; cups having rigid level indicators spanning the cup interior; cups having adjustably positionable level indicator tabs therein; cups having buoyant level indicator tabs adjustably positionable in the cup interior; and cups having removable clip-on scales extending down along the interior of the cup wall, the scales having a plurality of attachment points for the removable attachment of a level indicator tab at a desired attachment point.

The device for powdering a solid unit dosage form of medication and administering the powder form includes an applicator, a powdering tool and, in certain embodiments, a cap. The device is used to create a powder form from a solid unit dosage form, and then administer the powder form to a body cavity of a patient. The cap is provided with an integrated powdering tool, allowing an open end of an applicator barrel to be releasably covered thereby. Manipulation of the powdering tool creates the powder form through abrasion of a solid unit dosage form of the medication received within the barrel. The cap and powdering tool may then be removed, leaving the powder form of the solid unit dosage form to be administered to the body cavity, such as a patient's vagina or rectum.

The apparatus for inoculating agar plates includes a spray chamber having an upper opening for receiving an atomized microbial suspension and a lower opening for receiving an agar plate. The apparatus also includes an atomizer including a reservoir and a fluid tube for delivering the microbial suspension to the atomizer nozzle. A containment feature extends around an inner surface of the spray chamber to catch any drop that may form on its inner wall and advance down towards the lower opening. The spray chamber allows multiple agar plates to be quickly inoculated without cross-contamination of agar habitats, without contaminating the outside of the plates, and without contaminating the work area.

The apparatus and method for testing the ability of materials to protect photolabile materials provides an accurate measurement by directly observing the degradation level in a photolabile material. The apparatus is an assembly having primary and secondary cells and a light source. The primary and secondary cells are arranged in different configurations with respect to one another such that any light that reaches the photolabile materials must first go through the protective material under test. The method includes placing a protective material under test in the primary cell; placing a photolabile material in the secondary cell; subjecting the assembly to a light source for a predetermined amount of time; and removing and testing the photolabile material for degradation.
