Normal Vibrations of Isopropyl Alcohol

Normal vibrations of polyglycine II.

Ketoacidosis with unexpected serum isopropyl alcohol.

A 34-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of acutely worsening abdominal pain. The patient reported the abdominal pain to be in the left lower quadrant and of several months’ duration but noted that it had worsened substantially over the previous 10 days. She also reported diffuse muscle pain and nausea without emesis, no food intake over the previous 72 h...

Isopropyl alcohol compared with isopropyl alcohol plus povidone-iodine as skin preparation for prevention of blood culture contamination.

Despite a number of studies on the efficacies of antiseptics for the prevention of blood culture contamination, it still remains unclear which antiseptic should be used. Although the combination of povidone-iodine and isopropyl alcohol has been traditionally used in many institutions, the application of povidone-iodine needs extra time, and there is little evidence that this combination could h...

Normal vibrations of crystalline polyglycine I.

A valence force field has been refined for crystalline polyglycine I using its known antiparallel chain pleated-sheet structure and without replacing the CH, group by a point mass. Polyglycine I and four of its isotopic derivatives were used in the refinement. The calculated frequencies are in good agreement with the observed, except for the amide I modes. It is shown that this is a consequence...
