摘要: Pediculosis, that is the infestation of humans with Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice), poses a worldwide problem as old mankind itself. Over centuries, man has developed variety remedies, all which have ultimately culminated in use chemical agents. Some these remedies are known to produce successful results. A large portion effective used kill lice and their eggs contain insecticides, but there an increasing number reports head populations revealing increased resistance. This study presents alternative treatment approach, efficacy based on physical effects. Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas successfully shown formidably wide application range within field plasma medicine. device its current stage development engineered consumer product enable insecticide-free option for pediculosis. An concerning different developmental stages P. presented. was chosen substitute test organism due possible laboratory rearing high anatomic similarity. The shows how single stroke over hair strand (approximately 22 cm length weight 1.5 g) led mortality rates 68.3% (50.0; 79.7) (95% CI) juvenile group, rate approx. 67.7% (54.9; 78.8) female 46.7% (28.3; 65.7) male group. When were introduced directly into 1 s, younger (0–2 d) showed higher 66.7% (42.7; 82.7) than older (4–6 eggs, 16.7% (5.6; 34.7) (CI). Furthermore, results risk assessment described. article concludes necessary handling instructions well further steps, derived from study.
