  2. Perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perchlorate

    Perchlorate salts are typically manufactured through the process of electrolysis, which involves oxidizing aqueous solutions of corresponding chlorates.This technique is commonly employed in the production of sodium perchlorate, which finds widespread use as a key ingredient in rocket fuel. [5]

  3. Antithyroid agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithyroid_agent

    In Graves' disease, treatment with antithyroid medications must be given for six months to two years, in order to be effective. Even then, upon cessation of the drugs, the hyperthyroid state may recur. Side effects of the antithyroid medications include a potentially fatal reduction in the level of white blood cells.

  4. Thiocyanate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiocyanate

    Thiocyanate [6] is known to be an important part in the biosynthesis of hypothiocyanite by a lactoperoxidase. [7] [8] [9] Thus the complete absence of thiocyanate or reduced thiocyanate [10] in the human body, (e.g., cystic fibrosis) is damaging to the human host defense system.

  5. Nitronium perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitronium_perchlorate

    Nitronium perchlorate, NO 2 ClO 4, also known as nitryl perchlorate and nitroxyl perchlorate, is an inorganic chemical, the salt of the perchlorate anion and the nitronium cation. It forms colorless monoclinic crystals. It is hygroscopic, and is a strong oxidizing and nitrating agent. It may become hypergolic in contact with organic materials.

  6. Methemoglobinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methemoglobinemia

    Nitrates are suspected to cause methemoglobinemia. [12] In otherwise healthy individuals, the protective enzyme systems normally present in red blood cells rapidly reduce the methemoglobin back to hemoglobin and hence maintain methemoglobin levels at less than one percent of the total hemoglobin concentration.

  7. Nitrovasodilator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrovasodilator

    A nitrovasodilator is a pharmaceutical agent that causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) by donation of nitric oxide (NO), [1] and is mostly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris. This group of drugs includes nitrates (esters of nitric acid), which are reduced to NO in the body, as well as some other substances.

  8. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Acid–base and blood gases are among the few blood constituents that exhibit substantial difference between arterial and venous values. [6] Still, pH, bicarbonate and base excess show a high level of inter-method reliability between arterial and venous tests, so arterial and venous values are roughly equivalent for these. [44]

  9. Nitrosyl perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrosyl_perchlorate

    Nitrosyl perchlorate is the inorganic compound with the formula NO(ClO 4). A hygroscopic white solid, it is the salt of the nitrosonium cation with the perchlorate anion. It is an oxidant and strong electrophile , but has fallen out of use with the availability of the closely related salt nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate NO(BF 4 ) .
