Nitrites

Salts of nitrous acid or compounds containing the group NO2-. The inorganic nitrites of the type MNO2 (where M=metal) are all insoluble, except the alkali nitrites. The organic nitrites may be isomeric, but not identical with the corresponding nitro compounds. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)

Bacteriuria 09/01/2005 - "Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were calculated for leukocyte count, bacteriuria, leukocyte esterasa and nitrites using positive urine cultures as the standard of measurement. " 03/01/1996 - "The value of positive nitrites in screening asymptomatic bacteriuria amongst Malaysian school children." 03/01/1996 - "The negative predictive value of the nitrites was less than the microscopic bacteriuria (74% vs 85%, p = 0.005). " 10/01/1990 - "The sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value for the visual reading of nitrites, leukocyte sterase, bacteriuria and leukocyturia in the sediment and bacteria in Gram stain were 77%, 22%, 33%, 22% and 88%, 98%, 85%, 82%, 91% and 86%, and 97%, 89%, 90% and 90%, with and accuracy of 96%, 77%, 76%, 82% and 86%, respectively. " 04/28/1978 - "A streep test has been employed for bacteriuria involving identification of nitrites in the urine and results are compared with those obtained with classical bacteriological techniques.

Diffuse Esophageal Spasm (Esophageal Spasm) 10/01/1981 - "Nitrites in the treatment of diffuse esophageal spasm." 01/01/1977 - "The effect of nitroglycerine and long acting nitrites was studied in a group of 8 normal control subjects and 12 patients with esophageal spasm. " 01/01/1977 - "Esophageal spasm: clinical and manometric response to nitroglycerine and long acting nitrites." 01/01/1977 - "The study suggests that if esophageal spasm is associated with reflux, the use of nitrites is less effective in controlling spasm than it is in those who do not show this association, and that diffuse esophageal spasm can be effectively managed with long acting nitrites on a long term basis in the absence of reflux. " 01/01/1977 - "If there is esophageal spasm associated with reflux esophagitis, nitrites may be beneficial as an adjunct to antireflux therapy."
3.	Spasm (Spasms) 01/01/1977 - "The study suggests that if esophageal spasm is associated with reflux, the use of nitrites is less effective in controlling spasm than it is in those who do not show this association, and that diffuse esophageal spasm can be effectively managed with long acting nitrites on a long term basis in the absence of reflux.

4.	Leukemia 01/01/2009 - "This study investigated whether consumed cured/smoked meat and fish, the major dietary resource for exposure to nitrites and nitrosamines, is associated with childhood acute leukemia. " 01/01/2009 - "Dietary exposure to cured/smoked meat and fish may be associated with leukemia risk through their contents of nitrites and nitrosamines among children and adolescents, and intake of vegetables and soy-bean curd may be protective."
