Crystalline antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) with nanorods morphology was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method by the reaction of elemental sulfur, antimony and iodine as starting materials with high yield at 180°C for 24h.Using oxidation reagents like iodine as an initiator of redox reaction to prepare Sb2S3 is reported for first time. Crystal growth of Sb2S3 was done by increasing reaction t...

Erysipelas (cellulitis/lymphangitis) is a superficial cutaneous infection spread by the lymphatic system which may result in permanent injury to the lymphatic vessels. The study evaluated the lymphatic drainage in the lower limbs of 30 patients with at least two episodes of erysipelas by means of lymphoscintigraphy. Twenty-two (73%) were female and 8 (27%) were male with ages ranging from 26 to...

Blue-green algal mats incubated anaerobically rapidly produce large amounts of volatile sulfur compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide. The major organic sulfur compound is methyl mercaptan, in contrast to previous results with marine eucaryotic algae. Light inhibited production of volatile sulfur compounds, apparently because the algae then produced O2, re...

Abstract Silver(I) ethylxanthate [AgS 2 COEt] ( 1 ) and antimony(III) [Sb(S COEt) 3 ] have been synthesised, characterised used as precursors for the preparation of AgSbS powders thin films using a solvent-free melt method spin coating technique, respectively. The as-synthesized were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy d...
