Purpose: Peristalsis of the small bowel leads to considerable movement artifacts in MR-examinations, which hamper diagnostic quality [1, 2]. Therefore a spasmolytic premedication agent is commonly administered intravenously to inhibit bowel motion, shortly before performing the abdominal imaging studies. Two main paralyzing agents, hyoscine N-butylbromide (HBB; Buscopan Boehringer Ingelheim, Ge...

BACKGROUND We sought to determine the efficacy of sutures, human fibrin glue and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for mesh fixation in patients undergoing the plug and mesh procedure for groin hernia. METHODS A total of 156 patients with 167 inguinal hernias (11 bilateral) underwent a plug and mesh procedure and were randomly assigned to received either sutures (n = 59 hernias), human fibrin glue (n =...

Two rapid, simple and sensitive extractive specrophotometric methods has been developed for the assay of Hyoscine butyle bromide (HBB), losartan potassium (LSR) and Sertaline HCl (SER) in bulk and in their pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed methods depend upon the reaction of cobalt(II)–thiocyanate (method A) and molybdenum(V)–thiocyanate ions (method B) with the cited drugs to form stab...

A new method for the synthesis of allyl aromatic compounds not involving any metal-containing reagent or catalyst has been developed. Arylamines substituted with a large number of different substituents were converted via diazotizative deamination with tert-butyl nitrite in allyl bromide and acetonitrile to the corresponding allyl aromatic compounds. The allylation reaction was found to be suit...

A series of hitherto unreported anthracene-embedded dispirooxindoles has been synthesized via a one-pot three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of an azomethine ylide, generated in situ from the reaction of isatin and sarcosine to 10-benzylideneanthracen-9(10H)-one as a dipolarophile in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([bmim]Br), an ionic liquid. This reaction proceeded regio- and...

A simple, novel, efficient and three-component procedure for the synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives by the reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, aldehyde and 2-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride promoted by ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIm]Br) under solvent-free conditions is reported. The presented method is benefited from operational simplicity,...
