Satisfactory treatment of patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) is often difficult. Some success can be achieved with bromides, but cognitive side effects and disturbed vigilance may limit their use. Here, we present the case of a successfully treated patient with DS and remarkable features in the course of his disease: additionally to DS, the patient was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF), anoth...

If filtration is required, sintered-glass funnels should be used as filter paper removes some of the dye by adsorption. Sodium bromide is used in preference to sodium chloride or potassium chloride because the detergent solution gradually develops a turbidity (not visible in the presence of the dye) on addition of the chlorides, and precipitates are formed on storage in mixtures of detergent, a...

Three different methods of DNA isolation (organic deproteinization, potassium acetate deproteinization, and the use of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) have been used to prepare DNA from Bacillus subtilis. Subsequent hybridization with an rDNA probe (DNA coding for rRNA) produces different patterns, which mirror those previously reported to indicate an rDNA deletion.

The title compound, C(15)H(14)O(3), has been obtained from the reaction of 2,4-dihy-droxy-acetophenone, potassium carbonate and benzyl bromide. The remaining hy-droxy group is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts occur.

Recent developments in FT—IR sampling techniques such as diffuse reflectance and photoacoustic spectroscopy are known to obtain new and novel information on solid polymers. In particular, depth profiling can be obtained from the surface using a potassium bromide overlayer. Photoacoustic spectroscopy using coupling gases with different polarizability allows one to determine the nature of absorbe...

Concentrations of potassium bromide commonly used for separation of lipoproteins were shown to cause absorption of 125I and thus reduce the counting efficiency of the labeled lipoproteins. Chloroform was shown to cause a 50% reduction in counting efficiency of lipid from 125I-labeled lipoprotein. No reduction of counting efficiency was observed in the presence of high density solutions when 131...
