AIM The aim of this study was to compare the neutralizing effect of antioxidant agents on the microleakage of dental restorations in nonvital teeth after bleaching with carbamide peroxide. Also assessed was the correlation of the microleakage data between an electrochemical and a staining technique. METHODS AND MATERIALS Following root canal therapy, 40 sound and similar human maxillary centr...

Enzymatic browning in avocado puree and guacamole was evaluated by reflectance measurements for several varieties of avocado with varying amounts of chemical additives. Paste from Booth 8 had a greater tendency to brown than that from Lula. Browning at 75°F was effectively retarded without flavor change by 30 mg percent of sodium bisulfite or 200 mg percent ascorbic acid. Lemon juice or citric ...

Hypernatremia is defined as plasma Na+ concentration above 145 meq/L (often due to absolute body water loss and not to total sodium excess). Nevertheless, when kidney damage is present, as occurs in renal diseases, hepatic cirrhosis and congestive heart failure, total body sodium can be increased. The present study evaluates the relationship between hypernatremia and response to anesthetic drug...

A major concern during pesticide development and use is the impact on non-target species, such as raptors or domestic cats and dogs. Sodium nitrite and para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) are two toxicants currently being studied for the control of invasive species, such as starlings and feral swine. When given to an animal these compounds oxidize hemoglobin, which renders it unable to carry oxygen ...

firpose: The primary purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of 1.4 percent sodium citrate with heparin, 4 Ulml, for maintaining radial artery catheter patency in patients in the medical ICU. Potients and Methods: Patients in the medical ICU (n =40) were randomized to either a 1.4 percent sodium citrate or heparin 4 Ulml arterial line flush solution in a doubleblind, parallel fashion....
