Disease relevance of bromide

• Five cases of lymphocytic meningitis are described where a Bromide Partition Test was performed and proved positive at levels usually considered consistent with tuberculous meningitis [1].
• The Bromide Partition Test may not be as good a discriminant as has previously been suggested in differentiating between tuberculous and viral meningitis, especially when performed in a population at low risk of getting tuberculous meningitis [1].
• This study evaluated the adjuvant Dimethyldioctyldecyl Ammonium Bromide (DDA) effect on the protective immunity induced by a combination of plasmids containing genes encoding antigens Ag85B, MPT-83, and ESAT-6 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis [2].
• CASE REPORTS: Case 1 presented with melanosis and keratosis following short-term use of Arsenic Bromide 1-X followed by long-term use of other arsenic-containing homeopathic preparations [3].
• Efficacy of Nebulized Flunisolide Combined with Salbutamol and Ipratropium Bromide in Stable Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [4].

High impact information on bromide

• Decarboxylation occurs with the combination CTAOH-Br-, but not with the combinations CTAOH-I-, CTAOH-CI-, or CTAOH-F-. Bromide in the absence of CTAOH does not promote decarboxylation [5].
• Total body water (TBW, H(2)(18)O dilution), extracellular water (ECW, Bromide dilution), and fat-free mass (FFM, body density and Siri's equation) were measured directly whereas intracellular water (ICW = TBW - ECW) and body cell mass (FFM - ECW) were obtained by calculations [6].
• Efficacy and Tolerance of High-Dose Inhaled Ipratropium Bromide vs. Terbutaline in Intubated Premature Human Neonates [7].
• Cell viability was assessed by MTT (3-[4.5-dimethylahiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium Bromide) [8].
• In the present study a comparison has been made between intubating condition obtainable after anesthesia induction with Thiopental or Propofol, using Vecuronium Bromide to achieve muscle relaxation [9].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of bromide

• However, diagnostic tests (e.g., the Bromide partition test or possibly radioassays) markedly improve case finding and to some extent increase cure rates [10].
