background: intoxication with aluminum phosphide has been prevalent in iran recently. lab confirmation of the poisoning is needed in clinical and post-mortem settings. present study was conducted to determine efficiency and validity of silver nitrate test for detection of aluminum phosphide in samples. methods: information about dead patients with history of aluminum phosphide poisoning referre...

or 4, must be added to the urinometer reading to bring it to the true specific gravity. The estimation of chlorides can be done volumetrically with standard silver nitrate solution and potassium chromate as indicator; this method is sufficiently accurate for the purpose. The standard silver nitrate solution is made by dissolving 29.235 grammes of pure and dry crystals of silver nitrate in a lit...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial was to compare the efficacy of silver nitrate cauterization against that of topical steroid ointment in the treatment of neonatal umbilical granuloma. METHODS An open-label, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2013 to January 2016. The primary endpoint for the silver nitrate cauter...

The in vitro activity of the silver nitrate was assessed in comparison with that of natamycin against 128 corneal Fusarium isolates and 90 corneal Aspergillus isolates. MIC(90)s of silver nitrate were 2 microg/ml for Fusarium spp. and 1 microg/ml for Aspergillus spp. MIC(90)s of natamycin were 8 microg/ml for Fusarium spp. and 32 microg/ml for Aspergillus spp. Silver nitrate exhibited potent an...

background: one of the most serious late complications, after evacuation of liver hydatid cyst and instillation of scolicidal agents is sclerosing cholangitis, most probably caused by the type of scolicidal agents instilled.   objective:   to determine the incidence of sclerosing cholangitis after intra-biliary tract infusion of 5% saline and 0.5% silver nitrate.   methods: 5% hypertonic saline...

We evaluated the use of silver nitrate drops and tetracycline ointment for the prophylaxis of ophthalmia neonatorum in a controlled trial involving 2732 newborns in Nairobi, Kenya. The overall rates of prevalence of intrapartum maternal gonococcal and chlamydial infection were 6.4 and 8.9 percent, respectively. After prophylaxis with silver nitrate, the incidence rates of gonococcal, chlamydial...

Epistaxis from the anterior septum is frequently treated with a topical application of silver nitrate, which cauterizes the bleeding vessel. However, this treatment causes a septal perforation in a small percentage of patients. We report our study of the histologic effect of topical silver nitrate on samples of septal tissue obtained from 11 patients. We found that 30 seconds of exposure allowe...

objective(s): for the development of reliable, ecofriendly, less expensive process for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles and to evaluate the bactericidal, and cytotoxicity properties of silver nanoparticles synthesized from root extract of croton bonplandianum, baill. materials and methods: the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by plant part of croton bonplandianum was carried out.  the for...

A convenient reference cell and method of potentiometric determination of chloride ions with silver nitrate is described. The method is accurate to about +/- 0.02 ml. 10(-4)M silver nitrate.
