BACKGROUND
Some epidemiologic studies have reported compromised cognitive and sensory performance among individuals exposed to low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized a dose-response increase in symptom severity and reduction in sensory and cognitive performance in
The hydrogen sulfide rich waters of the Black Sea pose a potential danger for the surrounding land regions. The impact of an asteroid may cause a catastrophic poisonous gas release in the atmosphere. Some effects of this last phenomenon on the Eastern Black Sea coastal regions are evaluated in this
A 24-year-old oil well tester was rendered semiconscious by hydrogen sulfide (H2S). He received oxygen and was hospitalized but released in 30 minutes. The next day, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and incontinence of urine and stool led to rehospitalization. These problems and leg shaking, dizziness,
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the short-term effects of low-level hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exposure on oil field workers.
METHODS
Observational study included 34 patients who work at an oil field. All patients were males with age range of 22-60 years (mean 37 years). The data were collected by systematic
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a hazard primarily in the oil and gas industry, agriculture, sewage and animal waste handling, construction (asphalt operations and disturbing marshy terrain), and other settings where organic material decomposes under reducing conditions, and in geothermal operations. It
The concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere of a sewage purification plant in Norway was studied. Continuous measurements over several 3-week periods showed that the concentrations generally were lower than 2 ppm, but peak concentrations over 100 ppm were discovered. Rapid onset and
Although hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) occurs due to the deficiency in cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) causing skeletal muscle dysfunction, it is still unclear whether this effect is mediated through oxidative/endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress or both. Nevertheless, there is no treatment option
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of sulfhemoglobinemia in a patient receiving phenazopyridine for a urinary tract infection.
METHODS
A 63-year-old white woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of fatigue and bluish discoloration of her body that had gradually progressed over the
BACKGROUND
Clinical toxicologists perform risk assessments and clinical evaluations for patients with potential exposure to airborne toxicants in which the patient's self-reported perception of odor may be the only indicator that an exposure may have taken place.
OBJECTIVE
To review the factors that
