What's the difference between bromidism and bromism?
Bromidism
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(10) Because previous work has shown that radioisotope release from parasites may be nonspecific, separate experiments were performed to determine the cytotoxicity of LAK cells against antibody-coated trophozoites by using ethidium bromide-acridine orange staining to assess effector cell damage.
(11) Key intermediate of the synthesis was 2-formyl-estradiol (2) which was prepared in quantitative yield through reaction of the phenoxymagnesium bromide of estradiol with formaldehyde in the presence of HMPA.
(12) The relative standard deviations for bromide at 10(-7) M and for iodide at 10(-8) M concentration were 1.9% and 3.0%, respectively, using a 10-mL sample for the determination without preconcentration.
(13) This enhancement of the release of radioactivity was inhibited by phospholipase A2 inhibitors, quinacrine (1 mM) and p-bromophenacyl bromide (10 microM), suggesting that polyethylenimine and polyallylamine activates phospholipase A2 to generate arachidonate and its metabolites.
(14) Plasmid sequences were readily observed by ethidium bromide staining of cellular DNA after restriction endonuclease digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis.
(15) Cytochemical localization of ovoperoxidase activity with diaminobenzidine revealed almost a total lack of staining of FEs from bromide-substituted sea water.
(16) Cells were exposed to chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite for 15 min and cell viability was assessed 24 h later with a colorimetric assay which utilizes the tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT).
(17) The sequence was obtained from analysis of peptides isolated from chymotryptic, cyanogen bromide, and limited acid cleavages of the protein.
(18) The latter compounds were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to the respective amines (II a-c) and then N-alkylated by reaction with 2-propynyl-, 2-butynyl- or 2,3-butadienyl bromides to the corresponding amines (III a-j).
(19) When the detergents with aliphatic hydrophobic residues were compared, a cationic detergent cethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was more toxic than non-ionic or anionic detergents.
(20) Cyanogen bromide cleavage of the 145000 subunit produced a single peptide of Mr 75000.
Bromism
Definition:
(n.) A diseased condition produced by the excessive use of bromine or one of its compounds. It is characterized by mental dullness and muscular weakness.
Example Sentences:
(1) Serum bromide levels achieved, however, were far below those reported to result in clinical bromism.
(2) The data, therefore, also suggest that there is not a causal relationship between halothane biotransformation and the clinical syndrome of bromism.
(3) The clinical features and treatment of three suicidal Obral overdoses and of two patients presenting with bromism are presented.
(4) Hyperchloremia may reveal bromism during the neonatal period.
(5) The high frequency of acute intoxications and carbromal induced bromism stresses the need to bring these preparations under prescription.
(6) This case of bromism in a dog suggests that the dosage of potassium bromide should be based on serial measurement of serum bromide concentrations.
(7) The authors report on two cases of neonatal bromism.
(8) When conscious change is due to bromism, hemodialysis instead of forced hydration and diuresis should be performed immediately.
