Quarantine, isolation, mask, and other precautionary measures remain sole obliging strategy declin...

PURPOSES The objectives of this paper are to study the impact of low level isopropyl alcohol exposure on blood pressure and to explore its potential mechanism. METHODS This cross-sectional study was based on a prospective occupational cohort in south China, which focusing on occupational risk factors related cardiovascular health problems. A total of 283 participants (200 low isopropyl alcoho...

The title compound, C(12)H(20)N(+)·Cl(-), crystallizes with the chloride anions situated on twofold axes, while the cation is on a general position. All conventional hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors are utilized, forming a hydrogen-bonded ladder motif along the c axis. Investigation of the torsion angles between aromatic systems and isopropyl groups reveals unusual geometrical features. One i...

INTRODUCTION Alcohols, including ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, are used in clinical practice for disinfection and infection prevention. Recent studies, however, demonstrate that alcohols may enhance biofilm production in Staphylococci. METHODS We quantified biofilm formation in the presence of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol in six different, well-characterized strains of Staphylococcus epider...

Isopropyl has replaced ethyl alcohol in many such pharmaceutical preparations and cosmetics as mouth washes, dental solutions, and hair tonics. Although the physiology and toxicity of this material are fairly well known, a thorough knowledge of the metabolism involves a method for the separate determination of isopropyl alcohol and acetone, the chief product of its oxidation in the body. Many o...
