fluoride/edema

Fourteen cattle on a Kansas pasture died from ingestion of a wood preservative compound containing sodium fluoride and copper naphthenate. Clinical signs included depression, anorexia, ataxia, diarrhea, and recumbency. Grossly visible lesions included perirenal edema, pale kidneys, and forestomach

We studied the effect of corneal hydration upon ablation rate in excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). This variable may alter the subepithelial smoothness and the resulting clarity of the result. The eyes of freshly slaughtered pigs (N = 5) and the eyes of Dutch-belted rabbits (N = 4)

The present study examined the adverse effects of fluoride exposure on embryos and larvae of Rana chensinensis. Survival, morphological abnormalities, growth and development, time to metamorphosis and size at metamorphic climax of R. chensinensis were examined. Our results showed that embryos

These studies were done to determine the effects of fluoride (F) on the structure and function of the canine gastric mucosa and the possible protective effects of 16,16-dimethyl-prostaglandin E2 (dmPGE2). A portion of the stomach with its vascular supply intact was mounted in a two-compartment

Exposure to fluoride and excessive ethanol consumption has been identified as a serious public health problem in many parts of the world, including India. Thus, the effect of co-exposure to fluoride and ethanol for 3-6 weeks was studied on lipid peroxidation (LPO) and oxidative stress related

Fluoride toxicity and alcohol abuse are the two serious public health problems in many parts of the world. The current study was an attempt to investigate the effect of alcohol administration and age on fluoride toxicity in rat intestine. Six and 18 months old female Sprague Dawley rats were exposed

The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the teratogenic and developmental toxicity of fluoride and endosulfan alone and in combination in pregnant Swiss albino mice exposed during the organogenetic period (5-14 days) of gestation. Fluoride (25.1 mg/kg body weight in water) and endosulfan

It has been reported that fluoride exposure may cause serious public health problems, particularly neurotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study used Neuro-2A cells to investigate the effects of fluoride on the cytoskeleton. The Neuro-2A cells were exposed to 0, 1, 2,

Structural fumigations using sulfuryl fluoride for the extermination of dry-wood termites are conducted by the thousands in California and other warm-weather states. Sulfuryl fluoride is an odorless gas that targets the nervous system and can cause respiratory irritation, pulmonary edema, nausea,

Excessive fluoride in natural water ecosystem has the potential to detrimentally affect amphibians, but little is known of such effects or underlying mechanisms in Bufo gargarizans embryos. In the present study, the effects of fluoride exposure on B. gargarizans embryos were investigated. First,

The possibility of chemical terrorism within the United States is a rising concern, with the eye being one of the most sensitive tissues to toxicant exposure. We sought to develop mouse models of toxicant-induced ocular injury for the purpose of evaluating potential therapeutics. Chloropicrin (CP)

Children born in fluorosis endemic areas usually suffer from gastrointestinal complications and are unable to attain normal growth as per their age group. The enteric nervous system (ENS) controls gut movement and functions. It is highly vulnerable to any ingested toxins. Based on observations, it

Our objective was to compare the quality and diagnostic performance of (18)F-fluoride PET/MR imaging with that of (18)F-fluoride PET/CT imaging in patients with foot pain of unclear cause. METHODS Twenty-two patients (9 men, 13 women; mean age, 48 ± 18 y; range, 20-78 y) were prospectively included
