malignant pleural effusion is a common complication in certain malignancies. pleurodesis is the best option most of the time. the purpose of this study was to compare the choice of belomycin with povidone-iodine, which is not only determined by the efficacy of the agent but also by its cost, accessibility, safety, ease of administration and the number of administrations to achieve a complete re...

Abstract. Iodine-doped Poly (Ethyl Methacrylate) composites have been prepared using casting method. Global TSDC of the composite samples has investigated TSDC-TS technique. It is found that, global spectra pure PEMA are characterized by two relaxations. The first relaxation which observed as a shoulder in temperature range 324-333 K attributed to motion side group and named -relaxation. Where...

The complex of xylan and iodine and its formation in a solution of xylan, CaCl2, and I2+KI was investigated by UV/Vis, second-derivative UV/Vis, and Raman spectroscopy. The complex forms only at very high concentrations of CaCl2, suggesting that when the water available in the solution is not sufficient to fully hydrate the calcium cation the chelation with the hydroxyl groups of the xylan can ...

Sensitivity to commercial teat dips (nonoxinol-9 iodine complex and chlorhexidine digluconate) of 56 Staphylococcus (S.) aureus strains isolated from quarter milk samples of various German dairy herds treated with different teat dipping schemes was investigated in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined using a broth macrodilution method according to the German Veterinar...

The determination of the starch in sugar crystal is not a simple problem, as it is associated with closely related carbohydrates that affect its separation. The coloration of sugar itself if not under proper adjustment would affect usually the accuracy in the later photometric examination of the starch iodine complex formed. Spectrophotometric methods conventioilally used for this purpose thoug...

Iodine is an essential element of human nutrition. Nearly a third of the global population has insufficient iodine intake and is at risk of developing Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD). Most countries have iodine supplementation and monitoring programs. Urinary iodide (UI) is the biomarker used for epidemiological studies; only a few methods are currently used routinely for analysis. These meth...

AIMS To avoid interference by water-iodine disinfection chemistry and measure directly the effect of iodine, captured from a triiodide complex bound to a filter medium, on viability of penetrating viral particles. METHODS AND RESULTS Aerosols of MS2 coli phage were passed through control P100 or iodinated High-Efficiency Particulate Air media, collected in plastic bags, incubated for 0-10 min...

This work presents a new clock reaction based on ozone, iodine, and chlorate that differs from the known chlorate-iodine clock reaction because it does not require UV light. The induction period for this new clock reaction depends inversely on the initial concentrations of ozone, chlorate, and perchloric acid but is independent of the initial iodine concentration. The proposed mechanism conside...
