Use of Monsel solution to treat obstetrical hemorrhage: a review and comparison to other topical hemostatic agents
Peripartum hemorrhage accounts for 8% of maternal deaths in the United States, and nearly 27% worldwide. A growing need exists for tactics to spare morbidity given a rise of abnormal placentation that contributes to excessive blood loss at the time of delivery. Approaches such as compression sutures, balloon tamponade, and pelvic artery embolization are not without side effects and potential…

Clinical applications of ferric sulfate in dentistry: A narrative review
Ferric sulfate (FS) has been commonly used as a local hemostatic agent for more than three decades in dentistry. Even though the hemostatic mechanism of FS is questioned, it seems that agglutination of blood proteins occurs due to the reaction of blood with ferric and sulfate ions in acidic pH. FS has gained widespread importance…

A Comparison of Ferric Subsulfate Solution, Silver Nitrate, and Aluminum Chloride for Pain Assessment, Time to Hemostasis, and Cosmesis in Acrochordon Snip Excision
BACKGROUND: Acrochordon (skin tag) removal by snip excision is a routine dermatologic procedure. Bleeding is a common sequelae of snip excision that requires hemostatic control. Chemical cautery is a common means of achieving hemostasis in this procedure. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate three different chemical cautery solutions for their time to hemostasis, pain upon…

Composites Bioplastic Film for Various Concentration of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanocrystals Towards Physical Properties for High Biodegradability in Soil and Seawater
The effect of various amount of ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) in composite starch/ZnO (PZ) and starch/chitosan/ZnO (PK) to the physical, structural, biodegradation, and antibacterial properties have been synthesized using casting method. The amount of ZnO are 3%, 6%, 10%, 13%, and 16%, and distilled water in acetic acid/glycerin/cassava starch was incorporated into gelatin films. We successfully…

Mechanical properties of bioplastics cassava starch film with Zinc Oxide nanofiller as reinforcement
This study focuses on investigating the influence of zinc oxide nanofiller on the mechanical properties of bioplastic cassava starch films. Bioplastic cassava starch film-based zinc oxide reinforced composite biopolymeric films were prepared by casting technique. The content of zinc oxide in the bioplastic films was varied from 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% (w/w) by…

Harnessing the Excellent Mechanical, Barrier and Antimicrobial Properties of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) to Improve the Performance of Starch-based Bioplastic
The inherent properties of starch which are poor mechanical properties and its hydrophilicity that leads to poor long-term water absorption, fostered the incorporation of additives into starch-based bioplastic to enhance its mechanical and barrier properties. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle as a lightweight material that is biocompatible, nontoxic, cost-effective and exhibit strong antibacterial activity can be…

Composite cassava starch/chitosan/Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF)/Zinc Oxide (ZnO): Bioplastics with high mechanical properties and faster degradation in soil and seawater
Biopolymers based on starch, cellulose and proteins extracted directly from biomass with or without modification have been widely used as the natural resources to produce biodegradable plastic. Starch has several disadvantages: strong hydrophilic behavior and inferior mechanical properties when compared with synthetic polymers. Starch is also mostly soluble in water and will be decomposed before undergoing…

Dual fortification of salt with iodine and iron: a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial of micronized ferric pyrophosphate and encapsulated ferrous fumarate in southern India
Background: Dual fortification of salt with iodine and iron could be a sustainable approach to combating iodine and iron deficiencies. Objective: We compared the efficacy of dual-fortified salt (DFS) made by using 2 proposed contrasting formulas-one fortifying with iron as micronized ground ferric pyrophosphate (MGFePP) and the other with iron as encapsulated ferrous fumarate (EFF)-with the efficacy…
