ethyl ketone/edema

It was demonstrated in a previous study that skin irritancy reactions could be accurately assessed by skin-fold measurements using a caliper. Eight solvents (trichloroethylene, toluene,1,1,2- trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,n-hexane, methyl ethyl ketone, ethanol--all

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathological changes of major organs in rats that have inhaled methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) aerosol and to provide clues to the oxidative damage mechanism of MEKP. METHODS A total of 100 Sprague-Dawley rats (male-to-female ratio = 1:1) were randomly and equally

Although ingestion of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is rare, it carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. This paper reports the first such case from Turkey in which a 70-year-old man unintentionally ingested MEKP in his kitchen. The patient was brought into the emergency department (ED)

The plastic hardener methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is an unstable peroxide that releases free oxygen radicals. Ingestion of this compound induces widespread liver necrosis that is often fatal, extensive ulceration with subsequent scarring, and stenosis of the proximal digestive tract in

Skin exposure to solvents can cause erythema, edema, scaling, and, eventually, irritant contact dermatitis. The irritant potential of chemicals is usually assessed by visual scoring, but in recent years a more objective measuring technique, laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), has been introduced for the
