Objective: To determine the antimicotic effect of thymol in concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 1 % on strains of Candida albicans evaluated at 48 hours of incubation, comparing them with 0.12 % chlorhexidine gluconate and nystatin. Material and methods: Thymol antifungal activity was determined according to the inhibition halo diameter and the susceptibility criteria of the Duraffoourd method, carried out according to the agar diffusion technique with a sample of 25 Petri dishes inoculated with Candida albicans. ATCC®10231, each with 3 filter paper discs embedded in 0.1 %, 0.5 % and 1 % thymol solutions, as in 0.12 % chlorhexidine gluconate and nystatin in suspension following the parameters of National Committee of Standards of Clinical Laboratories. Results: Thymol concentrations of 0.5 and 1% showed an inhibitory effect superior to the substances used as control. Conclusions: Thymol has ...

Se examinó la estructura factorial, la confiabilidad, la validez convergente y discriminante, y la invarianza factorial por sexo, de la Satisfaction with Family Life Scale (SWFLS). Los participantes fueron 804 estudiantes de primaria y secundaria de escuelas privadas de Lima, con un promedio de edad de 13.5 años (DE = 1.6). Los resultados confirman la estructura unidimensional de la escala (χ2 = 3.49, df = 5, p = 0.63; χ2/df = 0.69; GFI = 0.998; CFI = 1; NFI = 0.998; RMSEA = 0 [IC90% 0, 0.038] y SRMR = 0.007), la invarianza factorial por sexo y una consistencia interna adecuada (α = 0.84; ω = 0.84; H = 0.85). Se obtuvieron evidencias satisfactorias de validez convergente y discriminante de las SWFLS con medidas de funcionalidad familiar, bienestar subjetivo y depresión. En conclusión, la SWFLS presenta excelentes propiedades psicométricas para medir la satisfacción con la vida ...
