Prueba del hidrógeno espirado y eliminación de indican en la orina, siete dias después de dar tinidazol / Breath hydrogen test and urinary indican excretion, seven days after receiving tinidazole

Con objeto de investigar si el efecto antimicrobiano del tinidazol modifica los resultados obtenidos con la prueba del hidrógeno espirado, siete días despupes de haber tomado una dosis de este medicamento, se realizó un estudio en escolares clínicamente sanos y bien nutridos. Los resultados no mostraron diferencias significativas entre las observaciones hachas antes y siete días después de dar el tinidazol. La excresión de indican tampoco mostró cambios significativos, lo cual indirectamente hace suponer que de haber acontecido algún cambio en la flora bacteriana intestinal por efecto del medicamento, una semana después ya se había recuperado

Indican, ethereal and other forms of S eliminated in 24 hours urine by elderly Indian subjects.

Average daily excretion of Indican in urine of 42 healthy elderly men, av. age 69.9 +/- 5.0 years, (60 observations) was 60.7 +/- 17.4 mg/24 hrs. This is slightly higher than reported values for younger subjects. Average ethereal S elimination by Indian subjects has varied from 72-150 mg/day. Indican is the chief ethereal S eliminated in urine. Other forms of S excreted by elderly subjects were: Inorganic S 720 +/- 150 mg; Ethereal S 74 +/- 22 mg. Indican in them was 53.8 +/- 17.4 mg. This shows that the remaining 20 mg or about 1/4 of the ethereal S is eliminated in urine in other forms. Relationship with age, diet, common disorders along with findings in literature etc. are discussed.

Urinary indican in healthy Indian subjects.

Forty normal subjects have been taken for the present study. The mean Indican excretion was 40.45 mg/24 hrs. The mean jejunal count was 1.96 x 10(3) +/- 5.39 x 10(3) organisms/ml and 40% of the jejunal aspirates were sterile. Wide range of bacteria were cultured bu the coliform organisms were obtained in only 16.6%. There was a significant correlation between Indican excretion and total bacterial count (P less than .01).
