The Oxidative Stress of Mercaptan Odorant Due to Occupational Exposure: Adverse Effects on the Cholinergic System
Background: Tert-butyl mercaptan is one of the frequently used odorants derived from natural gases. It has been declared as a health hazard by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the USA. There is not much information available about the mercaptans long-term toxicity secondary to occupational exposure. This study was conducted to evaluate the oxidative stress caused by m...
متن کاملAdverse effects of neuromuscular blocking drugs.
Neuromuscular blocking drugs are not as notorious for producing adverse reactions as the i.v. induction agents; nevertheless, to a varying degree they all produce unfavourable or harmful effects. The newer non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, atracurium and vecuronium, have been developed in an attempt to overcome the disadvantages of the earlier drugs, but although much more specific agent...
متن کاملSustained release antiparkinson agents: controlled release levodopa.
The rationale for sustained release oral levodopa preparations is to deliver levodopa in the areas of maximal intestinal absorption in a slow and predictable way, leading to stable plasma levodopa levels and brain dopamine levels, therefore resulting in a lengthened duration of action. Sinemet CR is the prototype of such preparations, with demonstrated efficacy in decreasing periods of akinesia...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF DESMOPRESSIN ON MEMORY DISORDERS DUE TO ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY (ECT) IN HUMANS

متن کاملEFFECTS OF CHRONIC ADMINISTRATION OF TWO NEWLY SYNTHESIZED NONDEPOLARIZING NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS
The potential changes In neuromuscular blockade after chronic (>24 h) administration of sub-paralytic doses of two newly introduced aminosteroidal muscle relaxants were investigated. Org-9426 (rocuronium) and Org-9487 were studied in the in vivo guinea pig gastrocnemius muscle-sciatic nerve preparation. The problems seen after prolonged administration of muscle relaxants are thought to ari...
