In the framework of an extensive health survey, 119 viscose rayon workers exposed to carbon disulfide (CS2) and 79 workers from other plants not exposed to any toxic agent in the working environment underwent a gastrointestinal examination including a self-administered questionnaire, abdominal

Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is a new soil fumigant that is considered a replacement for methyl bromide. In 2014, the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) received several complaints of illness following a strong DMDS odor in Hillsborough County. Public health investigation of DMDS-related illness was

The anti-CD25 immunotoxin (IT), RFT5-SMPT-dgA, was used in a phase I dose escalation trial in patients with refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma. The IT was constructed by linking the monoclonal antibody RFT5 via a sterically hindered disulfide linker to deglycosylated ricin-A. All patients in this trial

Disulfiram (tetraethylthiuram disulfide) has been used for almost 60 years in the treatment of alcohol addiction. It causes aversive behavior due to disulfiram-ethanol reaction (DER). The classical DER includes flush, sweating, tremor, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, moderate decrease in blood

Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by raised intracellular levels of the amino acid, cystine. If untreated, the disease, progressively deteriorates towards end stage renal disease (ESRD) at the end of the first decade. The disease is caused by a defect in the

The risk of massive exposure to toxic chemical substances including chemical weapons or industrial chemicals has increased especially during the last century due to the development in industry and chemistry science. This paper aims to describe a real chemical release event and further exposures to

The resistance of Eucalyptus to browsing mammals has been related to the level and type of formylated phloroglucinol compounds (FPCs) present in the leaf. The antifeedant activity of FPCs appears to depend on their aldehyde groups, but little else is known of their mode of action. We have sought to

At the beginning of the four chapters on phenomena, analysis, pathophysiology and therapy of cystinuria the essentials of the published literature are summarized. The frequency of cystinuria is in the order of 1:10,000. Besides the cystine lithiasis occurring in nine tenths of all cystinuria

OBJECTIVE To determine the cause of acute illness on August 30, 2000, among patients at an outpatient dialysis center (center A). METHODS We performed a cohort study of all patients receiving dialysis on August 30, 2000; reviewed dialysis procedures; and analyzed dialysis water samples using

The major use of N-acetylcysteine in clinical toxicology is in the treatment of acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdosage. The hepatorenal toxicity of acetaminophen is mediated by a reactive metabolite normally detoxified by reduced glutathione. If glutathione is depleted, covalent binding to
