A 35-year old man with cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnea was found to have diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and iron-laden macrophages in the sputum. Pulmonary siderosis was confirmed by transbronchial biopsy. An associated hypochromic anemia required frequent transfusion. Though marrow iron stores were
Injury assessment of birds following the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in 2010 was part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment. One reported effect was hemolytic anemia with the presence of Heinz bodies (HB) in birds, however, the role of route and magnitude of exposure to oil is unknown. The
The aim of this study was to made assessment of chronic health effects in 37 workers exposed to gasoline, and its constituents at gasoline stations between 1985 and 1996. By the study we have involved thirty-seven persons who had been exposed to gasoline for more than five years were examined. The
Male rats were given ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGM) or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGB) po for 4 consecutive days at doses of 100 or 500 mg/kg body wt/day for EGM, and 500 or 1000 mg/kg body wt/day for EGB. Animals were killed on Days 1, 4, 8, and 22 after the final treatment. Both EGM
The single-dose and repeated-exposure toxicity of a synthetic mixture of 30 nitrotoluene analogs, representative of a complex industrial wastewater termed condensate water, was evaluated in dogs, rats, and mice. The single-dose oral LD50s for the synthetic condensate water (CW) were 447 and 295

In acute haemolytic anaemia of chickens, induced with the oxidant chemical phenylhydrazine-hydrochloride, maximum degenerative changes in the in vivo exposed erythrocytes occurred on day 3 after injection. Microspherocytic transformation, dumb-bell shaped red blood cells and foamy squashed nuclei
Several mouse models of sickle cell disease have been developed for the study of the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease and the investigation of drug and gene therapies. In previous years, we produced a sickle cell anemia mouse model in which the endogenous mouse alpha- and beta-globin genes
Bromovinyldeoxyuridine (BVDU), a substituted pyrimidine analog with antiviral activity, was given orally to beagle dogs (6/sex/dosage) at dosages of 0, 5, 12, and 30 mg/kg/day for 52 weeks. Complete physical examinations, including ECG recordings and rectal temperature measurements, and clinical
This article addresses results from a 4-wk inhalation exposure study in Wistar rats with the vapor and/or aerosol atmospheres of 2-chloro-4-toluidine. Groups of 10 rats/sex were nose-only exposed to mean analytical concentrations of 19.1, 115.1, and 702.3 mg/m3 using an exposure regimen of 6 h/day
Red blood cells from nestling herring gulls and Atlantic puffins that had ingested 10 ml or more of a Prudhoe Bay crude oil/kg body weight/day for four to five days were examined by light and electron microscopy. In stained smears, red blood cells from oil-dosed birds were characterized by
A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of paroxysmal involuntary movement. He had a normal birth and normal development. No other members of his family had similar symptoms. He had attacks of choreoathetoic involuntary movement without loss of consciousness since about 11 years of
Pyruvate kinase deficiency was studied biochemically in ten homozygous and seven heterozygous individuals who previously had been examined clinically and hematologically (see part I). In crude hemolysates some properties of the deficient enzymes were found to be altered. The pH optimum was shifted
Analysis of literature and the authors' own data suggest that laser-induced occupational disease may be diagnosed in following disorders on the part of: vision--deterioration of light and colour perception, pain and feeling of burning in the eyes; central nervous system--vegetative dysfunction,
