background: the appropriate colon cleansing is a major determinant of quality of colonoscopy. the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the morning (am) peg (polyethylene glycol) solution to previous-evening (pm) peg solution for the afternoon colonoscopy. methods: this comparative study compared the am to pm prep for afternoon outpatient colonoscopy. the subjects ra...

to study the effects of priming on seed germination traits of sainfoin 'eski', a factorial in randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the laboratory of agricultural research center of sari in 2011. treatments consisted of polyethylene glycol (peg6000) at 5 and 10%, potassium nitrate (kno3) at 5 and 10% and potassium chloride (kcl) at 5 and 10% levels ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution is commonly used for colonoscopic bowel preparation because of its safety and effectiveness, its salty taste decreases patient's compliance. The aim of this study was to compare the sugared PEG solution with the standard PEG solution in regard to the quality of bowel preparation and patient's compliance. METHODS From January through ...

AIM This study was designed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of bowel preparations with and without the higher first-dose volume of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution or exercise after drinking PEG solution in Chinese people. METHODS A total of 330 participants who had a colonoscopy done in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were randomly and evenly assigned to three groups. Partic...

BACKGROUND Two liters of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution administered with ascorbic acid (Asc) can provide efficacy similar to that of a 4-L PEG solution for colonoscopy preparation. In addition, oral bisacodyl (Bis) has been shown to reduce the volume of PEG needed for a bowel preparation with comparable efficacy. This study aimed to compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety of a 2-L PE...

In the current research, ABS-co-PEG nanofiltration membrane was prepared by solution casting technique using N, N dimethyl acetamide as solvent. The effect of PEG concentration as additive in the casting solution on membrane flux, salt rejection, phase inversion time, water content, membrane porosity, membrane tensile strength and fouling was studied. Also the eff...

Background: The appropriate colon cleansing is a major determinant of quality of colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the morning (AM) PEG (polyethylene glycol) solution to previous-evening (PM) PEG solution for the afternoon colonoscopy. Methods: This comparative study compared the AM to PM prep for afternoon outpatient colonoscopy. The subjects r...

Protein chips technology has emerged as a promising tool for screening protein-protein interactions and characterizing the levels of proteins expressed in cells. Novel surface technologies must be improved to satisfy the specific protein orientation on the surface without denaturation, retaining non-fouling character of the surface. In order to construct facile immobilization of protein on the ...

A gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based colorimetric method was developed for the molecular weight (MW) determination of polyethylene glycol (PEG), a commonly used hydrophilic polymer. Addition of a salt solution to PEG-coated AuNP solutions helps in screening the electrostatic repulsion between nanoparticles and generating a color change of the solutions from wine red to blue in 10 min in accordance ...
