Abstract
This review recalls the first presentation of a modified method for the use of iodine tincture in preoperative disinfection of skin and minor injuries by the Rijeka physician Antonio Grossich (1849-1926), which was published in "Zentralblatt für Chirurgie" 100 years ago. It did not have to wait lon...

Abstract
The reactive airway dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is a type of occupational asthma without a latency period, and it is induced by irritating vapour, fume, or smoke. Although the onset of RADS has been related to over 30 different agents, it has not been previously associated with acute exposure to iod...

Abstract
These results suggest that birnessite acts as a catalyst through the oxidation of iodide to iodine and the polarization of the iodine molecule, which then reacts with NOM moieties. Furthermore, our results indicate that during water treatment in the presence of manganese oxide, iodinated organic com...

Abstract
In all layers of the positive control group, heavy bacterial infection was observed. After 10 minutes, IKI reduced the amount of viable bacteria more efficiently than CH, whereas at later time intervals CH showed the best results. CONCLUSION: For short periods of exposure, IKI has a more efficient a...

Abstract
We give an update of the literature on toxicity of radiocontrast media and on preventive measures. Risk of nephrotoxicity of iodinated contrast media can be reduced by identification of high-risk patients. In these patients pre- and post-hydration with isotonic saline should be applied.

Abstract
A method is devised better to resolve the subbands of the ground vibronic band in the mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectrum of CD(3)I. By selective photodissociation of CD(3)I(+) in these subbands, high-resolution spectra for the A(2)A(1)<--X(2)E(3/2) transition are recorded. Spectral a...

Abstract
We have elucidated that CM induced apoptosis of renal tubular cells through the reduction in Bcl-2 expression and the subsequent activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Moreover, we found that CM caused an increase in ceramide content in renal tubular cells, which leads to apoptosis by inhibiting the...

Abstract
Although the evidence base is limited, gadolinium does not appear to be safer than iodinated contrast in patients at risk of CIN. Given the lack of randomized data to support its safety, gadolinium in lieu of iso-osmolar iodinated contrast cannot be advocated in patients at high risk of contrast nep...
