Disease relevance of Dionosil

• Compared to the tubes used to drain abdominal abscesses, empyema catheters need less irrigation; dionosil is often the preferred contrast agent, the catheter can be withdrawn in one step, and a residual fibrotic or tumor cavity may persist after pus has been evacuated [1].
• Comparison of deep and shallow endotracheal administration of dionosil in dogs and effect of manual hyperventilation [2].
• Propyliodone oil suspension contrast sinography after catheter placement showed two clinically unsuspected bronchopleural fistulas [3].
• None of the patients developed clinical thyrotoxicosis; however, in patients with autonomous thyroid tissue, the same precautions should be taken with propyliodone as with other iodine-containing agents which are known to induce hyperthyroidism in this situation [4].
• We evaluated the influence of 2 0ml contrast substance Dionosil aq. on the ventilatory function of lung 21 patients who suffered from relapsing bronchial inflammations [5].

High impact information on Dionosil

• Surface balance experiments with lung surfactant and synthetic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) demonstrated an increased minimum surface tension due to the oil suspension of propyliodone, peanut oil and particles (propyliodone and tantalum) [6].
• Thyroid function after bronchography with propyliodone [4].
• OBJECTIVE: We evaluated five agents (barium sulfate, iohexol, propyliodone oily, propyliodone aqueous, and perflubron) in terms of image quality, histologic changes, and effects on hemodynamics, blood gases, and standard laboratory tests in New Zealand White rabbits [7].
• Dionosil more reliably defined the epiglottis, valleculae, and pyriform fossae [8].
• Dionosil and powdered tantalum laryngograms are compared in 18 patients with known laryngeal cancer [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Dionosil

• Sixty-six subjects, mainly derived from various occupational groups and one-third of whom admitted to dyspnoea on exertion, have been grouped according to the appearance of their peripheral airways at bronchography with oily propyliodone [9].
• If bronchogram is performed, it should be performed after bronchoscopy using oily propyliodone (Dionosil) [10].
