hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent used in surgery for its antiseptic properties, has been associated with life-threatening complications. we report a case of suspected gas embolism following irrigation of a tibial bone cyst with hydrogen peroxide in a five year-old boy under general anesthesia, who died despite resuscitative measures and a long stay in the intensive care unit.

The present investigation was carried out to determine the antioxidant properties in methanolic extract of leaves, stem, fruit and roots of Physalis angulata (L). The antioxidant assay was carried out using free radicals DPPH, superoxide, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. Among the extracts tested fruit and leaf extracts were found to be significant in their antioxidant prop...

catharanthus roseus is a medicinal and ornamental plant with growing attention toward its economical value. cell suspension from c. roseus were treated with 0 to 60mm of cadmium nitrate for 1, 3 and 6 days, then cell viability was determined using trypan blue and mtt assay. cell morphology was investigated using 0, 10, 30 and 50 mm of cadmium nitrate as selected dose for 3 days. callus of c.ros...

The enzyme peroxidase is known for its capacity to remove phenolic compounds and aromatic amines from aqueous solutions and also to decolourize textile effluents. This study aims at evaluating the potential of a turnip (Brassica rapa) peroxidase (TP) preparation in the discolouration of textile azo dyes and effluents. An azo dye, Congo Red (CR), was used as a model pollutant for treatment by th...

Peroxide bleaching is significantly affected by transition and alkaline earth metals. Isolating the effects of different transition and alkaline earth metals on the reactions of peroxide with different representative lignin structures allows the separation of the positive from the negative contributions of these metal ions. In this work, five monomeric or dimeric phenolic lignin model compounds...

two groups of olive cultivars were characterized as showing low (tokhmkabki) and high (roghani) rooting percentage after application of iba treatment. semi-hard wood cuttings were dipped in h 2 2 o 2 (0-3.5% w/v) and iba (4000 mg.l -1 ) and also they were investigated in combination. h 2 o 2 alone did not stimulate rooting of olive cuttings and there were no significant differences between this...

Antimicrobial activity of honey has been attributed to hydrogen peroxide, which is produced by naturally occurring glucose oxidase, and phenolic compounds, although lethality of and inhibition by these and other components against microorganisms vary greatly, depending on the floral source of nectar. This study was undertaken to compare honeys from six floral sources for their inhibitory activi...

abstract statement of problem: bleaching systems with different concentrations and applications are widely used to improve the visual appearance of the teeth, but one of the complications of these materials is reduction of bond strength for immediately bonding to the bleached enamel. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of using different modified hydrogen peroxide bl...
