Experiments are routinely performed under near-equilibrium because it is impossible to determine the exact time at which equilibrium was attained. A novel attempt to study multi-ion biosorption in non-equilibrium conditions has been made, based on the Probability Isotherm theory. Materials and Methods: Probability Isotherm theory was examined with cucumber and kiwifruit peel beads which are reported to be efficient biosorbents. The peels were incubated in a cocktail of seven ions (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb and Ni) at the same initial concentration (0.1- 15 mgL-1) and four different temperatures (25-55°C). Non-equilibrium biosorption data were modeled by Langmuir isotherm model. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA coupled with a Bonferroni post-hoc test on GraphPad Prism 8 software. Cd and Ni ions showed the most well-defined trends with Langmuir isotherm model. The binding of ions was physico-chemical with simultaneously occurring physisorption and tchemisorption reactions. Conclusions: Probability Isotherm theory can be applied to multi-ion biosorption in non-equilibrium conditions. The behavior of each ion is unique and no two biosorption systems are alike.","PeriodicalId":37638,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46247235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anti-allergic, analgesic and anti-venom administrations are commonly used, particularly in pediatric patients. In this study, it was aimed to present data from patients who presented with scorpion sting and underwent various treatments. Material and method: We retrospectively reviewed 50 patients who presented to our hospital with scorpion sting. Demographic characteristics, severity of clinical presentation, treatments employed and anti-venom administration were evaluated. In patients underwent anti-venom treatment, we evaluated whether or not anti-venom caused systemic signs or additional pathology. Results: Mean age was 9.88 ± 4.58 years in the study population. There were 18 girls (36%) and 32 boys (64%). It was found that electrocardiogram was performed in all patients and that there was sinus tachycardia in 6 patients (12%). No systemic sign was detected during followup. It was found that anti-venom treatment was used in only 7 patients (14%). No significant difference was detected between anti-venom treatment and other therapeutic modalities used in ED. Conclusion: Scorpion sting is one of the leading causes of insect bites presenting to pediatric emergency departments in Turkey. It was observed that, even in tertiary care settings, antivenom treatment is used in scorpion sting without systemic signs. Based on this study, no anti-venom indication was present in this patient group. Thus, anti-venom decision should be assessed by relevant unit or pediatric emergency clinicians in cases requiring anti-venom treatment. Unnecessary anti-venom use should be avoided by training clinicians in primary care.","PeriodicalId":37638,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45080591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
