In left ventriculography there was a clear patient preference for iohexol by both a visual analogue scale and independent observer assessment. Iohexol also induced a smaller increase in heart rate or decrease in systolic blood pressure than Urografin. In coronary arteriography iohexol resulted in a smaller reduction in heart rate and systolic blood pressure, a smaller maximum increase in RR interval, less prolongation of the PQ and QT intervals and QRS duration, and a lower incidence of induced chest pain, ST segment depression, or T wave deflection.

Their common maximum 97% levels identified six SOCDs only, apt to evaluate the most frequent single ADRs for each class, and their percentual normalization profiles for each product. The WILKS's chi square statistics for the related contingency tables, and Gabriel’s STP procedure applied to the extracted double data sets then produced profile binary clustering, as well as Euclidean confirmatory plots. They finally showed similar objectively evaluated autoclassificative trends of these products, which do not completely correspond to their actual ATC V08A A, B and C subdivision: while amidotrizoate and iotalamate, and respectively iohesol and iopamidol are confirmed to belong to the A and B subgroups, ioxaglate behaves fluctuating within A, B and C, but iodamide looks surprizingly, constantly positioned together with iodoxamate as binary/ternary C associated. In view of the recent work of Campillos et al (Science, 2008) which throws light on the subject, the above discrepancies do not appear anymore unexpected or alarming.

  • Structure and Properties of X-Ray Contrast Media
    STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF X-RAY CONTRAST MEDIA Optimal use of CM in radiology requires a knowl- edge of the nature and relevant properties of the available substances. This chapter describes the properties of currently used and newly developed contrast-giving agents that infuence their behav- ior in the human body, their side effects, and their practical utility. The main X-ray contrast agents in use today are insoluble barium sulfate for the diagnostic evalu- ation of the GI tract and water-soluble CM for the radiological assessment of the different vascular systems, body cavities and organs. In addition, a water-soluble CM based on tri-iodobenzene is the alternative agent of choice for oral use when bari- um sulfate is contraindicated. Barium Sulfate Barium is used in the form of the insoluble sulfate for radiography of the GI tract. If perforation is suspected, however, only water-soluble, iodinated agents (Gastrografn, Ultravist-370) can be used since the body is virtually incapable of eliminating barium sulfate once it has entered the peritoneum. Barium sulfate is available either as a powder to be prepared directly before use or as a ready-to-use suspension. For double-contrast examinations (fll- ing of the lumen with gas, coating of the wall with barium sulfate), barium sulfate is either mixed with a carbon dioxide additive, or a gas-forming agent is taken in addition. © The Author(s) 2018 20 U. Speck, X-Ray Contrast Media, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-56465-3_3 Common to all barium preparations is concentra- tion of barium sulfate which may diluted according to the needs of the examination.

Ternes Koreferent: Prof. Dr. Joachim Scholz 2 Acknowledgments This thesis is the result of a collaborative effort from many people! First of all I would like to thank the Marie Curie Research Training Network KEYBIOEFFECTS for funding this research and more importantly providing opportunities for me to network with other graduate students and research scientists in a number of scientific disciplines within Europe and internationally. I would like to thank and acknowledge Dr. Thomas Ternes, my supervisor, or as they say in German my “Doktor Vater,” for giving me the opportunity to complete my PhD in his research group at the Federal Institute of Hydrology (Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde, BfG). It was an honour for me to work with an internationally-known researcher investigating the occurrence and fate of emerging organic micropollutants. His dedication, guidance, support, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge are just a few of his qualities that helped me to strive in completing my PhD degree. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Joachim Scholz for agreeing to be one of the evaluators of my PhD thesis and the University of Koblenz-Landau for allowing me to defend my dissertation in the Department of Chemistry.

  • Effects of Nonionic Contrast Media on Platelet Aggregation
    Effects of Nonionic Contrast Media on Platelet Aggregation Assessment by Particle Counting With Laser-Light Scattering Takanori OGAWA, MD, Satoshi FUJII, MD, Kazushi URASAWA, MD, and Akira KITABATAKE, MD SUMMARY Intravascular radiographic contrast media used in angiography, particularly nonionic contrast media, may cause activation of platelets. This study was designed to determine which properties of nonionic contrast media were potentially responsible for this action. Platelet aggregation after adenosine diphosphate stimulation was studied in the platelet rich plasma obtained from 37 patients who underwent left ventriculography using the highly sensitive method of particle counting with laser-light scattering. Platelet activation by contrast media was studied in the platelet rich plasma from healthy volunteers using flow cytometric analysis to detect platelet degranulation as P-selectin expression. There was a significant decrease in platelet aggregation in patients injected with ioxilan or iome- prol compared with patients injected with iohexol. There was a significant increase in P- selectin expression with the three groups of contrast media compared to control. The platelet activation with ioxilan or iomeprol was significantly less compared to the activa- tion with iohexol. The comparison showed that previous generalization regarding platelet activation by nonionic contrast media might not be valid. It is presumed that the higher osmolality of iohexol may contribute to the increase in platelet aggregation and activation.
