Controlled trial of intermittent aerosol therapy with sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulphonate in cystic fibrosis.
Twenty-seven patients with cystic fibrosis completed a controlled trial comparing the effects of an inhaled mucolytic drug, sodium-2-mercaptoethane sulphonate (Mistabron, UCB Pharmaceutical Division, Brussels, Belgium), with inhaled iso-osmolar hypertonic saline. As a group the 22 patients with chronic sputum production showed small but statistically significant improvement in pulmonary functio...
متن کاملOxidation-reduction properties of coenzyme M (2-mercaptoethane sulphonate) at the mercury electrode.
Coenzymc M, 2-mercaptoethane sulphonate (HSCH,CH,SOs-), is a recently discovered, heatstable cofactor implicated in the methane-forming reactions of metllanogenic bacteria [l-5]. It is believed [3,4] that the reduced form of the cofactor may be methylated by methylcobalamin in an enzyme-catalysed methyltransferase reaction, the methyl-CoM so formed being reduced to methane in a reaction catalys...

First case is of an eight- yr- old child having Acute onset Wheeze and fever, second one is of a 1.5- yr- old Wheezing child not responding to inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroids, third of a 4-yr- old with Respiratory distress and wheezing with underly...
متن کاملClinical Approaches of Retinal Diseases in Pregnancy
Pregnancy leads to significant changes in the body, which potentially affect the retina. Pregnancy can induce disease such as that seen in hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy. It can cause exudative retinal detachments in the HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), ...
متن کاملClinical studies of protein-bound calcium in various diseases.
A recently developed gel-filtration technique allows protein-bound calcium fractions to be separated and quantitated; the protein is separated under physiological conditions of pH, temperature, and concentrations of Na, Mg, and Ca to assure that the calcium-proteinate equilibrium is not disturbed. We used this gel-filtration technique to study the protein-bound calcium fractions in 18 patients ...
