It was independently discovered and coincidentally reported by DEMEREC (1924) and by BRINK and MACGILLIVRAY (1924) that maize pollen grains carrying the waxy gene give a unique reaction with the iodine-potassium-iodide solution commonly employed in detecting starch. LONGLEY (1924) has also reported this phenomenon. In a recent paper, KIESSELBACH and PETERSEN (1925) question the validity of our...

A one pot synthesis of β-ketonitriles from readily accessible 3-chloropropenals using economically benign iodine, aqueous ammonia and sodium hydroxide solution, employing mild reaction conditions h...

Dose; 1 to 2 c.c. diluted with 8 c.c. of distilled water. Each c.c. of the above solution contains one grain of iodine. As a rule injections need not be given on alternate days; once a week is usually sufficient. I have tried these injections with admirable results in cases of pneumonia, pleurisy, cellulitis, septic wounds, chronic bronchitis, carbuncle and rheumatism, and my notes on " The Tre...

To the Editors:Your concerns regarding the recently published study, ‘‘A randomized trial that compared povidone iodine and chlorhexidine as antiseptics for vaginal hysterectomy,’’ are appreciated. First, by way of clarification, the literature search to which you refer did retrieve studies in which vaginal chlorhexidine had been used. In fact, we found 3 studies (including a total of more than...

Oxidative polycondensation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and (-)-myrtenal was carried out with POCl₃. A p-conjugated system thus constructed consists of aromatic and quinoidal alternating structure linked via methine groups. We examined iodine doping effect for the resultant material with electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Circular dichroism spectra in chloroform solution showed blue-shift w...

Conclusion It has been demonstrated that the electrochemical detection of iodine in the presence of excess iodide can be reliable and sensitive, when the appropriate solution environment is used with the appropriate working and counter electrodes. While, certain electrode systems have a very low detection limit for iodine, they can suffer poor reproducibility due to absorption onto or possibly ...

To the Editor, Indian Medical Gazette. Sir,?I have tried tincture of iodine in dysentery and diarrhoea in more than 100 cases and found that excepting a few cases all of them were cured by tincture of iodine administered in ten drops doses three times a day. In order to avoid burning in the throat due to tincture of iodine, I used to add a drachm of glycerin per dose. I had noted that though so...

Toungoo Hospital under my care, the glands continued to enlarge and indurate for a considerable time, and resisted all absorbent remedies employed to reduce them, either applied externally or given by the mouth, viz., locally, Ung. Pot. Iodidi, Lint. Iodine, Fort. Tinct. Iodine, Sol.Ferri Sulphatis or Velpeau's Solution which, in some cases of glandular inflammation, I have found beneficial in ...
