To decrease the load of pharmaceuticals to the environment, decentralized wastewater treatment has been proposed for important point-sources such as hospitals. In this study, a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) was used for the dehalogenation of the iodinated X-ray contrast medium

We report a facile approach to forming dendrimer-stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au DSNPs) through the use of amine-terminated fifth-generation poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers modified by diatrizoic acid (G5.NH(2)-DTA) as stabilizers for enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging applications. In this study, by simply

Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are difficult to treat. Arterial embolisation is the most common strategy but often has poor results. We report an alternative surgical approach of controlled intra-operative transvenous embolisation with long-term results in seven cases. Between 1980 and

We present three crystal structures of diatrizoic acid (DTA) DMSO solvates illustrating progressive desolvation of the DTA molecule and concomitant increasing degree of DTA self-association. Using these structures, plausible pathways for overcoming the solvation shell of DTA during its crystallisation
