New complexes of VO(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Au(III) and Pt(IV) with atenolol (ATN) hypertensive drug ligand were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductometry, magnetic susceptibility, UV–Vis, IR, ESR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis of powdered samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis. The IR spectral data suggested that the ATN ligand...

A selected solid complex of the Schiff base ligand derived from Glutaric anhydride with Cu(II) ion was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, Electronic, ESR Spectral Analyses, Magnetic susceptibility and Molar Conductance Measurements. The disappearance of ν(O-H) hydroxyl band of the phenolic and the lowering shift of the stretching frequency of the ν(CH=N) azomethine band in the ligand after...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis plus chemical determinations show that the predominant ESR signals seen in frozen solutions of human plasma are due to the copper protein ceruloplasmin. The elevation of ceruloplasmin con centration above normal values in pathological processes is positively correlated with the increased ESR signal height seen in patients with cancer, infections, and myoca...

The electron scattering region (ESR) is one of important ingredients in Seyfert nuclei because it makes possible to observe the hidden broad line region (hereafter HBLR) in some type 2 Seyfert nuclei (hereafter S2s). However, little is known about its physical and geometrical properties. Using the number ratio of S2s with and without HBLR, we investigate statistically where the ESR is in Seyfer...

The diagnosis of periprosthetic hip infections is often challenging. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level blood laboratory tests are commonly used to aid in the diagnosis. We studied the sensitivity, specificity, and false-negative rates of ESR and CRP level in a prospective group of patients who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty between 2000 and 2008....

primary examinations and treatment of the exposed seamen. Cytogenetic analyses were made 16-40 y after their accidents. During medical treatment seven tooth samples were collected fbr ESR analysis from this group. The second group consisted of ten highly irradiated men from the Chernobyl accident. Comparison was made between estimates of their average whole-body penetrating radiation doses deri...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) and absorption spectral studies are described which demonstrate two types of cyanide complex of Co(I1) human carbonic anhydrase B. High spin (S = 3/2) Co(I1) is present at the active site of the cobalt enzyme in the presence of both 1 and 2 eq of CN-’ at room temperature. At liquid nitrogen temperature the 1: 1 complex remains high spin, while the enzyme in the pre...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the possibility of discontinuing adalimumab (ADA) for 1 year without flaring (DAS28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ≥3.2), and to identify factors enabling established patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to remain ADA-free. METHODS Of 197 RA patients treated with ADA+methotrexate (MTX), 75 patients who met the ADA-free criteria (steroid-free and sustained DA...

Interpretation of dynamic behaviour of molecules is of fundamental importance to understand their stability, biological functions and activities, catalytic action. In particular, electron spin resonance measurements are highly informative and the wealth of dynamic information which can be extracted from a CW-ESR or ENDOR spectrum can be interpreted by a basic theoretical approach defined within...
