Monsel’s solution (ferric subsulphate) is an iron salt first described in the literature in 1856 by Leon Monsel (1). Since then it has been widely used by dermatologists as a haemostatic agent in minor surgical procedures, such as tangential excision and punch biopsy (2). Ferric chloride is also a source of ferric ions, which is used in dermatological procedures and is considered more convenien...

Ferric citrate has been reported to have the potential to reduce phosphate and increase iron availability in patients with chronic kidney disease. In the present study, we evaluated its safety and efficacy in phosphate reduction and iron supplementation in chronic kidney disease stage 3-5 requiring dialysis patients. We systematically searched for clinical trials published in PubMed, Medline, a...

coagulants exert a significant influence on removing turbidity, tss and cod. this study has examined the effects of poly-aluminium chloride (pac), aluminium sulphate (alum) and ferric chloride on removal of turbidity, tss, cod from greywater in residential complexes of miners working in decorative stone mines. also, a comparison was undertaken with the electrocoagulation system to find out whet...

Binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to the extracellular matrix of cultured bovine aorta smooth muscle cells is likely to be mediated via heparan sulphate, since not only exogenous addition of heparan sulphate to the culture medium but also pretreatment of the cells with heparitinase (but not chondroitinase ABC) resulted in loss of binding. Comparison of the affinity of bFGF to var...

It is a well-known fact that water bodies are crucial for human life, ecosystems and biodiversity. Therefore, they subject to regulatory monitoring in terms of quality. However, land-use intensification, such as open-cast mining activities, can have direct impact on Unfortunately, situ measurements quality parameters spatially limited, costly time-consuming, which why we proposed combination hy...

1. Developing tail tendons from rats (19-day foetal to 126 days post partum) were examined by electron microscopy after staining for proteoglycan with a cationic copper phthalocyanin dye. Cuprolinic Blue, in a "critical electrolyte concentration" method. Hydroxyproline was measured on papain digests of tendons, from which glycosaminoglycuronans were isolated, characterized and quantified. 2. Me...

background cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is an endemic disease in developing countries. although pentamidine orantimonite (glucantime) has been recommended for cutaneous leishmaniasis treatment by the world health organization, there are some concerns too such as high cost, side effects, need for frequent injections, and restricted efficacy. therefore, different methods have been used for cl tre...

The obligately autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was grown on elemental sulfur in anaerobic batch cultures, using ferric iron as an electron acceptor. During anaerobic growth, ferric iron present in the growth media was quantitatively reduced to ferrous iron. The doubling time in anaerobic cultures was approximately 24 h. Anaerobic growth did not occur in the absence of elemental...

Plants require the function of plasma membrane-bound sulphate transporters for the initial uptake of inorganic sulphate. Part of this fundamental process is the energy-dependent proton/sulphate co-transport systems that are located in the surface cell layers of roots. During sulphur limitation, plants are able to activate the expression of sulphate transporters that facilitate the uptake of sul...
