Fifty nine patients with Helicobacter pylori positive duodenal ulcers that failed to heal after a six week course of treatment with H2 blockers were randomly assigned to one of the following three regimens: (i) bismuth subsalicylate, 600 mg three times daily (n = 19), (ii) ranitidine, 300 mg at night (n = 20), (iii) bismuth subsalicylate plus ranitidine (n = 20). Cumulative ulcer healing rates ...

Clostridium perfringens-associated necrotic enteritis causes significant economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bismuth citrate, lactose, and organic acid on the development of necrotic enteritis in broilers. The first study was a dose response that evaluated bismuth citrate at 50, 100, or 200 ppm on bacterial intestinal colonization and lesion development as...

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the non-selective fungicides mancozeb, copper oxychloride, and sulfur on the growth and capability for producing ochratoxin A (OTA) of ochratoxigenic isolates of Aspergillus carbonarius and A. ochraceus in barley-based medium. Lag phases and growth rates were determined for each fungicide at different doses, at 15°C and 25°C and at 0.97 a(w)....

Fifty nine patients with Helicobacter pylon positive duodenal ulcers that failed to heal after a six week course of treatment with H2 blockers were randomly assigned to one of the following three regimens: (i) bismuth subsalicylate, 600 mg three times daily (n=19), (ii) ranitidine, 300 mg at night (n=20), (iii) bismuth subsalicylate plus ranitidine (n=20). Cumulative ulcer healing rates after f...

Fast oxide-ion conductivity in Bi 3.9 Sr 0.1 NbO 8? ? Cl is reported for the first time, and this oxide stable under a reducing atmosphere.

Uniform bismuth nanospheres were successfully prepared from bismuth nitrate in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) by solvothermal process. The product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray. PVP plays a critical role both as a reducing agent and ...

Bismuth is a heavy metal and was regarded until recently to be the heaviest stable element. It was discovered around ten years ago that the only natural isotope of bismuth, 209Bi, is an alpha emitter with a halflife of 1.9 x 1019 years [1]. Due to the low stability in aqueous solutions of bismuth derivatives with the oxidation number +V, bismuth with the oxidation number +III is regarded as the...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether ranitidine bismuth citrate, clarithromycin, or a combination of ranitidine bismuth citrate and clarithromycin would be efficacious in eradication of Helicobacter mustelae infection in ferrets. ANIMALS 60 seven-month-old ferrets. PROCEDURE To determine dosages of clarithromycin and ranitidine bismuth citrate that would suppress growth of, but not eradicate infe...
