A simple, sensitive and rapid method for determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion in real samples is reported. The reaction is initiated by adding known volumes of a nitrite ion solution of identified concentration to acidic solutions of thionine which causes decolorizaiton of reagent with time. The absorbance changes is then monitored spectrophotometrically at l...

the composite diazotization coupling reaction of sulfanilic acid and n, ndimethylaniline was used for the precise, accurate, and rapid determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion (0.02-3 µg/ml). the reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of the produced methyl orange at 510 nm by a fixed the method of 5.0 minutes. the relative standard deviation for the dete...

Introduction: Intoxication with Sodium valproate (SVP) is a growing concern owing to its increased use and availability. SVP intoxication may result in cerebral, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and hematological complications. However, SVP use does not seem to be associated with significant cardiovascular effects and electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities. Thus, we aimed to des...

Acute severe intoxication with carbamazepine is associated with seizures, coma and respiratory depression. Traditionally, charcoal haemoperfusion is used to remove the drug. We present a case of carbamazepine intoxication, successfully treated with three hours of high-flux haemodialysis. Thus, haemodialysis using high-flux membranes is a feasible and effective therapeutic option for carbamazepi...

Introduction: The angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7) Mas receptor (MasR) axis, bradykinin (BK) and female sex hormone are involved in releasing of vasodilatory biomarkers including Nitric Oxide (NO). We examined the role of MasR and BK on NO metabolite (nitrite) production response to Ang 1-7 infusion in ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol. Methods: A total of 48 female Wistar rats were divided i...
