BACKGROUND The present study compared both the antiseptic efficacy of sodium hypochlorite against that of chlorhexidine gluconate in isopropyl alcohol and the substantive effect of chlorhexidine, povidone iodine, and sodium hypochlorite. METHODS This was a 2-step study that included volunteers. In step 1, 4 skin areas were tested for bacteria in colony-forming units (CFU): 2 were controls to ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine utility of late N-isopropyl-p-(iodine-123)-iodoamphetamine distribution in predicting neurological and language outcome. METHODS We prospectively studied 29 patients with unilateral hemispheric ischemic cerebral infarction using the neuroimaging method of single-photon emission computed tomography and the above tracer. Four dif...

The antimicrobial activity of five sanitizing agents employed in clean areas designated for the pharmaceutical manufacturing of sterile products was tested against nine microorganisms, including four microorganisms from the clean area microbiota. The method consisted of challenging 5 mL of each sanitizing agent 70% isopropyl alcohol, 0.4% LPH®, 1.16% hydrogen peroxide, 4% hydrogen peroxide, 1% ...

The authors describe a simple method for making formalin or isopropyl alcohol vapour fixed cell blocks from fine needle aspiration cytology specimens that we refer to as 'The Poor Man's Cell Block.'

Biocompatible hydrogels are used in a variety of biomedical applications, including tissue scaffolds, drug delivery systems, lab/organ-on-a-chips, biosensors, cell-culture studies and contact lenses. The demand for novel functional monomers to be hydrogel synthesis is increasing as the number applications need biomaterials increase. purpose study was develop from renewable materials. Acrylated ...

Insertion of carbon dioxide into titanium isopropoxide takes place only in the presence of trace quantities of water to give an isopropyl carbonato cluster which has been crystallographically characterised.

Polar, noncentrosymmetric packing of directional, 1-D hydrogen-bonded networks of chiral, 4-amino-2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)pyridines (ampybox) occurs for isopropyl-substituted ampybox; in contrast, 1-D networks of methyl-substituted ampybox pack in an antiparallel arrangement.

In the title triazolothia-diazin compound, C(24)H(24)N(6)O(3)S (systematic name: 4-{3-[(2-isopropyl-5-methyl-phen-oxy)meth-yl]-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thia-diazin-6-yl}-3-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-1,2,3-oxadiazol-3-ium-5-olate), an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The two terminal methyl groups of the isopropyl unit are disordered over two sets of positions in a...
