carbon disulfide/infarction

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the findings of brain MRI in patients with carbon disulfide poisoning. METHODS Ninety-one patients who had suffered carbon disulfide poisoning [male:female=87:4; age, 32-74 (mean 53.3) years] were included in this study. To determine the extent of white matter hyperintensity

Two cohorts, one comprising 343 viscose rayon workers exposed for at least five years to carbon disulfide (CS2) and the other made up of 343 nonexposed men, were followed from 1967 to 1977 with respect to coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality. In the examination in 1967 known risk factors of CHD

According to literature data myocardial infarction was often the first noticeable effect of CS2 on the cardiovascular system. Therefore, a question arises whether earlier circulatory lesions are absent in CS2-exposed people, or they are present but are not detectable by the diagnostic methods used.
