BACKGROUND Neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum) continues to cause blindness because the agents used prophylactically to prevent this condition are not completely effective and are not widely available in many parts of the world. Povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution is an effective antibacterial agent with broad antibacterial and antiviral activity to which no bacteria are known to be...

Although the roster of coulometric titrations no\\' includes many reactions of classical titrimetry'. the lIse of cl,ectrogeneratecl +2 tin as a coulometric titrant has not previously been reported. We have found that in an acidic bromide medium +4 tin (probably SrlBr6-2) is reduced to the' +2 state (probably SnBr4-2) with 100% current efficiency' at a gold cathode. The formal potential of the ...

BACKGROUND Direct transmission through skin contact is one of ways for disease transmission. Medical staffs have contact with many patients, so their hand can be a factor for the transmission of disease. Surgical scrub is a process that leads to destruction immigrant and stable microbus of hands and arms through friction washing by use of antiseptic solution prior to surgery. The aim of this st...

The use of antiseptic agents to prevent blindness was not a self-evident development. It evolved over a number of years to the point that one antiseptic agent — povidone-iodine — is now used throughout the world, every day, to prevent blindness. The possible effect of iodine on the eye was first appreciated in 1951 when a reduction in ocular flora was reported following the application of iodin...

introduction: iodine deficiency disorders (idd) are the most common epidemiological problems in the world, including our country. in order to prevent idd and its consequences, iodized table salt is being used in our country since 1989. at present, this program is 18 years old. the surveillance of idd may be implemented to assess the prevalence of idd, identify high risk areas for intervention a...

The efficacy of intraperitoneal noxythiolin and povidone-iodine was compared in mice and rats with induced Gram-negative peritonitis. Noxythiolin 1%y solution reduced the mortality of mice from 65 to 41%y (P<01) but was ineffective in rats. Povidone-iodine (6-0-7-5 mg available iodine/kg body weight) significantly reduced the mortality of both mice (P<0001) and rats (P<0.01) in treated animals ...

aflatoxins are toxins which are usually produced by a kind of aspergillus fungus named flavus, parasiticus, and numius. there are 18 kinds of aflatoxins have been discovered by scientists and aflatoxin b1 is the most toxic and carcinogenic. taking aflatoxins present in food causes lots of diseases like liver diseases, alcoholic liver, mutagenesis, and malformation in animals. it also has some o...

The concentration of iodine species can be measured using several different analysis methods. One of the most wellknown methods involves iodine titration with a thiosulfate solution. Total iodine can be analyzed using spectrometry, such as inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP...
