in accordance with the article of Fletcher et a13 who systematically tested the accuracy of this catheter system in humans. He also found a consistent underestimation of the fiberoptic pulmonary artery catheter SvO2 values below 50% compared with direct spectophotometry and proposed two equations to adjust the catheter measurements: (1) Catheter=-11.68+1.1892XCOOX (2) Catheter=COOX-210.997 exp ...

Photoreactions of the fourth rhodopsin-like pigment, phoborhodopsin (pR480), of Hulobacrerium halobium were studied by low-temperature spectrophotometry. Upon irradiation of pR480 at -80 as well as 170°C with 436 nm light, a new intermediate having a difference absorption maximum at about 520 nm was produced. We designate this intermediate ‘P520’. Prolonged irradiation caused the formation of a...

Rapid, precise, accurate, and specific ratiospectra derivative spectrophotometry and a simple UV spectrophotometry using simultaneous equation methods are developed for the simultaneous determination of bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide from combined pharmaceutical dosage forms. For ratiospectra derivative spectrophotometry, the amplitudes were measured at 202.6 nm for bisoprolol fuma...

A new, simple, inexpensive, and sensitive method for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Cu(II) and Pd(II) by H-point standard addition method and derivative spectrophotometry is described. 4Phenylpiperazinecarbodithioate (PPDTC) in an anionic micellar solution of SLS was used as a reagent at pH 4. The experimental parameters, such as pH, type of surfactant, concentration of re...

Free of any atmospheric contamination, the Hubble Space Telescope provides the best available spectrophotometry from the far-UV to the near-IR for stars as faint as V ∼ 16. The HST CALSPEC standard star network is based on three standard candles: the hot, pure hydrogen white dwarf (WD) stars G191B2B, GD153, and GD71, which have Hubeny NLTE model flux calculations that require the atomic physics...

there are various methods for the analysis of potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate in food products, but a rapid and reliable method for identification of these preservatives in doogh (an iranian traditional dairy drink) is a procedure, in which high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) utilized and followed by uv diode array detection of the two preservatives. the aim of this case study w...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to diagnose ectopic pregnancy in the early period by measuring cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) levels in maternal blood using spectrophotometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients with ectopic pregnancy and 30 patients with first trimester intrauterine pregnancy were enrolled in this prospective controlled study. cffDNA levels in maternal serum were measure...
