An analytical method for the determination of total iodine at the ng level in urine, biological materials and foods was investigated. The organic substances were completely decomposed using a mixed solution of nitric, perchloric and sulfuric acids as pretreatment agents at ca. 230 degrees C. Iodine in the resulting solution was analyzed by a kinetic-photometric method based on the catalytic eff...

objectives: psychotropic drug use in the elderly with chronic schizophrenia is an important issue in the field of psychiatry. the main goal of this study was to clarify the pattern of such drug use in these patients, in order to consider such therapy plan and focus on its cost attributing measures, for a more reasonable quality of care program. methods: in this descriptive study, participants i...

The present study was designed to examine the hepatoprotective effects of curcumin (CMN), resveratrol (RSV) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) against ethinylestradiol and chlorpromazine -induced intrahepatic cholestasis. Ethinylestradiol (EE) and chlorpromazine HCl (CPZ) were administered orally once daily simultaneously with the tested compounds for one week. At the end of the experimentation pe...

Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum, is one of the most commercially important fish species in the Caspian Sea, but there are few reports about the endocrinology of induced spawning in this fish. In the present study, 54 individuals of female broodstocks of Kutum were studied for quantity and quality of propagation index, during March and April 2007. Hormone treatments include: LHRH-A2 (1 ?g kg...

The use of cisplatin may be associated with severe nausea and vomiting. Two separate, randomized, double-blind trials, comparing the anti-emetic effect of chlorpromazine with placebo and chlorpromazine with droperidol, were conducted in patients receiving cisplatin for ovarian cancer. Chlorpromazine was statistically superior to placebo in the control of nausea and vomiting in those patients tr...

The use combinations typical/atipycal antipsychotic active substances is very often done. purpose this study was to look at patient characteristics and clinical including type combinations. This research descriptive wi...

UNLABELLED Through univalent oxidation chlorpromazine forms a colored and relatively stable radical cation with maximum absorbance at 525 nm, considered a redox mediator in a number of b iochemical reactions. AIM To develop a spectrometric method for the determination of total antioxidant activity based on the reaction of chlorpromazine radical capture by ascorbic acid (standard antioxidant)....
