What's the difference between dualin and nitroglycerin?
Dualin
Definition:
(n.) An explosive substance consisting essentially of sawdust or wood pulp, saturated with nitroglycerin and other similar nitro compounds. It is inferior to dynamite, and is more liable to explosion.
Example Sentences:
Nitroglycerin
Definition:
(n.) A liquid appearing like a heavy oil, colorless or yellowish, and consisting of a mixture of several glycerin salts of nitric acid, and hence more properly called glycerin nitrate. It is made by the action of nitric acid on glycerin in the presence of sulphuric acid. It is extremely unstable and terribly explosive. A very dilute solution is used in medicine as a neurotic under the name of glonion.
Example Sentences:
(1) In a randomized double-blind study, 40 patients with coronary heart disease received intravenously either 0.025 mg nitroglycerin or placebo.
(2) This study describes the consequences of acute prostaglandin synthesis inhibition on the hemodynamic effects of nitroglycerin in patients with stable angina pectoris.
(3) In 2 cases, sublingual nitroglycerin failed to completely relieve the spasm.
(4) Finally, younger patients were three times as likely to receive a thrombolytic agent and 66% more likely to receive intravenous beta-blockade than older patients, and younger patients were also more likely to receive heparin and intravenous nitroglycerin.
(5) Patients in the reference group used more sedatives and long-acting nitroglycerine and had a lower return-to-work rate during the study period.
(6) 26 patients with chronic coronary artery disease had ventriculograms before and after 0.4 mg sublingual nitroglycerin.
(7) To determine the effectiveness of nitroglycerin, alone or with phenylephrine, during AMI in man, 12 patients (five or whom had left heart failure) were evaluated by summing ST-segment abnormalities (sigmaST) from 35 precordial electrodes.
(8) Beta blockers and possibly nitroglycerin have desirable effects when thrombolysis is unavailable.
(9) Mean anginal frequency and sublingual nitroglycerin consumption were low during the cross-over placebo period and did not change significantly during therapy with nicardipine.
(10) For aqueous ethanol solutions saturated with nitroglycerin with an ethanol volume fraction less than or equal to 0.7, the flux of nitroglycerin across skin is linear with the ethanol flux and is traced to a linear solubility relationship and a constant diffusion coefficient.
(11) These patients should have intravenous nitroglycerin begun before or simultaneously with beginning thrombolytic therapy.
(12) The purpose for this present study was to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of nitroglycerin and the dinitrate metabolites after multiple intravenous infusions of nitroglycerin in healthy volunteers.
(13) application of nitroglycerin and after oral application of molsidomine.
(14) To determine the effects of diltiazem (DTZ) and nitroglycerin (NTG) on left ventricular (LV) diastolic relaxation and filling in patients with cornary artery disease (CADpts), LV graphy and time constant (Tc) of LV isovolumic pressure decay were studied before and 5 min after intravenous DTZ (10 mg) in 16 CADpts and sublingual NTG (0.3 mg) in 11 CADpts.
(15) During the ischemic episode it was shown a severe coronary arterial spasm promptly relieved by nitroglycerin.
(16) The results suggest that compliance in using the initial prescription for sublingual nitroglycerin can be improved when the physician supervises the first dose.
(17) Nitroglycerine-induced volume loading in this series allowed aortic aneurysmorrhaphy without any decrease in ventricular function at the critical points of anesthetic induction, aortic cross clamping, or declamping; such optimization of myocardial performance appears to prevent perioperative myocardial infarction, even in high-risk patients.
(18) Nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate) is a substance that is metabolized to nitric oxide in the cell.
(19) With the proper choice of packaging, molded nitroglycerin tablets stabilized with povidone maintained acceptable potency for up to 2 years at 26 degrees when strip packaged in unit doses.
(20) In each patient the highest tolerated nitroglycerin patch dose was determined by a dose-titration phase, which was then used in a double-blind crossover trial comprising 2 randomized treatment arms: 1 week of active nitroglycerin patch and 1 week of matching placebo.
