ophthalmia neonatorum is generally defined as conjunctivitis occurring within one month of life. the sources of this infection are environmental organisms or the organisms colonized in the birth canal. untreated infection can cause blindness, especially if the corresponding organisms areneisseria gonorrhoeae, or chlamydia trachomatis. povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution is an effective antibact...

background: to determine the efficacy of different antiseptic solutions (control group (i), antibiotic solution (ii), chlorhexidine 0.4% (iii), and povidone – iodine 10% (iv)) in sterilizing contaminated osteochondral plugs. methods: under sterile conditions, the femoral head and condyles of 20 rabbits were removed and cut into equal osteochondral pieces. a total of 200 osteochondral specimens ...

Acidified and nonacidified Lugol iodine solution was tested under several storage temperatures and at several times as a preservative for marine bacteria. Direct counts with acridine orange showed no significant difference between glutaraldehyde- and Lugol iodine solution-preserved samples under any storage temperature when samples were counted within 1 week of collection. Specimens in long-ter...

neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neona-tarum) continues to involve many neonates in areas with no eye prophylaxis. povidone iodine solution is an effective antimicrobial agent with broad antibacterial and antiviral activity and it is less expensive and less toxic than the other agents. it seems to be a good alternative for routine eye prophylaxis, especially in developing countries. in a pro...

the complex formation reaction between iodine with tetrabutylammonium halides (tbax) has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution at 25ºc. various aspects of the spectra of iodine in the presence of various concentration of different tetrabutylammonium halides have been discussed in terms of electronic specifications of iodine and halides. in the case of tetrabutylammonium iod...

We explored the interaction of iodine with three crystalline type starches, corn, potato, and sweet potato starches using atomic force microscopy. Results revealed that starch molecules aggregated through interaction with iodine solution as well as iodine vapor. Detailed fine structures such as networks, chains, and super-helical structures were found in iodide solution tests. The nanostructure...

The surface chemical analysis and bulk analysis were conducted for fibres regenerated from waste garments and treated with iodine solution. The aim was to assess the fibre accessibility by the iodine solution and ascertain the location of the reagent within the fibres. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated that the fibres regenerated from indigo dyed waste denim garments (Re...
