Lithium, used in conjunction with sodium metal, produces a high yield of carbazole when reacted with phenothiazine-5-oxide or phenothiazine-5,5-dioxide. A high yield of 9-ethylcarbazole is also produced when these reagents react with 10-ethylphenothiazine, 10-ethylphenothiazine-5-oxide, and 10-ethylphenothiazine-5,5-dioxide. Degassed Raney nickel produces carbazole in high yield when reacted wi...

Air embolization to the coronary arteries is a common cause of myocardial ischemia during open heart surgery. Carbon dioxide emboli may be absorbed faster than air emboli. In this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial, we determined that flooding the surgical field with carbon dioxide is associated with improved myocardial function assessed by transesophageal echocardiography. Fort...

Twenty-eight infants were anaesthetized with halothane, nitrous oxide and oxygen and allowed to breathe spontaneously through a non-rebreathing system during minor paediatric surgery. Carbon dioxide output was correlated negatively with body weight for infants greater than 10 kg, but not for children less than 10 kg. Carbon dioxide output was unchanged compared with before surgery.

Weld area and weld depth/width ratio can be considered to be of the most important geometrical factors in pulsed laser welding. The effects of carbon dioxide and oxygen additions to the argon shielding gas on the weld properties in pulsed laser welding of low carbon steel is investigated. Presence of carbon dioxide and oxygen up to 10 and 15 percent respectively decreases the weld geometrical f...

In the title compound, C(13)H(15)NO(3)S, the sole classical hydrogen-bond donor is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, pairs of mol-ecules related by inversion centres are linked by pairs of weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions; these centrosymmetric pairs are, in turn, linked further by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming two-dimensio...

Each MERIDIA capsule contains 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg of sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate. It also contains as inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, NF; microcrystalline cellulose, NF; colloidal silicon dioxide, NF; and magnesium stearate, NF in a hard-gelatin capsule [which contains titanium dioxide, USP; gelatin; FD&C Blue No. 2 (5and 10-mg capsules only); D&C Yellow No. 10 (5and 15-...

We found that Vibrio cholerae 569B produced much more cholera enterotoxin in the presence of added carbon dioxide than in its absence. An atmosphere of 10% carbon dioxide was optimal for maximal enterotoxin production.

BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between daily hospital admissions for asthma and air pollution in London in 1987-92 and the possible confounding and modifying effects of airborne pollen. METHODS For all ages together and the age groups 0-14, 15-64 and 65+ years, Poisson regression was used to estimate the relative risk of daily asthma admissions associated wi...
