A new, rapid methodology for trace analysis using solid-phase extraction is described. The two-step methodology is based on the concentration of an analyte onto a membrane disk and on the determination by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the amount of analyte extracted on the disk surface. This method, which is adaptable to a wide range of analytes, has been used for monitoring ppm levels of...

Thyroid complications resulting from excess iodide such as thyrotoxicosis, thyroiditis, sialadenitis, or hypothyroidism are much rarer after iodine supplementation with Lipiodol than with KI. They do not militate against its widespread use in endemic goiter populations, especially in pregnant women. However, patients with multinodular goiter should not be treated or should be treated only under...

An excess of elemental iodine in N,N-dimethylacetamide enables effective 3/iodanylium-de-hydronation of terminal alkenes with 3-iodopropene derivatives and hydrogen iodide formation within minutes at room temperature. The optimal molar ratio of iodine to substrate was decreased to 1 : 1 when hydrogen iodide formed was oxidized on a platinum anode. The electrolytic oxidation recovers iodine as a...

Aim of this work was to evaluate if long-term dietary supplementation of potassium iodide (KI) to dairy goats can influence metabolic and hormonal parameters. Thirty Sarda crossbred dairy goats were divided into three groups, which were orally administered 0 (control group; CON), 0.45 (low iodine group; LI) or 0.90 (high iodine group; HI) mg of KI/day, respectively. The daily dose of KI (76.5% ...

THE method of Hagedorn and Jensen [1923] has become widely used for the estimation of reducing sugar in blood. The method depends upon the fact that potassium ferricyanide is reduced to ferrocyanide when heated in alkaline solution with certain reducing substances. In the Hagedorn and Jensen procedure the ferrocyanide formed in this way is precipitated as the double potassium zinc salt, and the...

A dose-response study was performed in adult rats to select an optimal stable potassium iodide (KI) dose which could be implemented in repeated prophylaxis, in case of prolonged exposure to radioactive iodine. Increasing doses of KI were given orally to rats 1 hour before internal exposure simulated by I-125 injection. I-125 incorporation in the thyroid was measured by γ-spectrometry, and KI pr...

Amylase activity has been studied in disks of hypocotyl of Phaseolus vulgaris L. Although some activity is present in untreated hypocotyls, it is greatly increased when disks are incubated 4 days in water containing kinetin (5 mg/liter). Gibberellic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid do not increase this activity appreciably. The increased activity can be shown by subsequently incubating t...

2406 41 5 1 73 lodate has been recently introduced in the patches of 1395 47.6 3:41 Combur-8 Test, which involves a peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) 982 24.2 2.46 redox indicator system (glucose, hemoglobin) to decrease the interference ofthe reaction with ascorbic acid (4); potassium iodide is incorporated as chromogen in the glucose reagent area of N-Multistix. We hope that the report of such false-p...

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the participation of the independent and combined long term effect of various concentrations of iodine and fluorine on the pathogenesis of goiter and fluorosis in mice. METHODS: Nine drinking water supplies with different iodine and fluorine content were prepared by combination of potassium iodate and sodium fluoride solutions in bidistilled water. The concentrations of ...
