Prevention of calcification in bioprosthetic heart valves: challenges and perspectives.
Surgical replacement with artificial devices has revolutionised the care of patients with severe valvular diseases. Mechanical valves are very durable, but require long-term anticoagulation. Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), devices manufactured from glutaraldehyde-fixed animal tissues, do not need long-term anticoagulation, but their long-term durability is limited to 15 - 20 years, mainly be...
متن کاملEvaluation of workers exposed to ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate.
OBJECTIVES Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (EGMEA) are widely used in industries as solvents for coatings, paint and ink, but exposure data are limited because they are minor components out of mixed solvents, as well as because of inconsistency in desorption solvent use. The objective of this study was to investigate the worker exposure profi...
متن کاملComparative acute and subchronic toxicity of ethylene glycol monopropyl ether and ethylene glycol monopropyl ether acetate.
The acute toxicity of ethylene glycol monopropyl ether (EGPE) and ethylene glycol monopropyl ether acetate (EGPEA) was determined in a series of standardized tests. The oral LD50 in rats was 3089 and 9456 mg/kg EGPE and EGPEA, respectively. Skin irritation was slight following an occluded single dose application of either compound to the guinea pig abdomen. The dermal LD50 for guinea pigs was 1...
متن کاملCriteria Document for Swedish Occupational Standards. Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate
The labour market, occupational safety and health, and work organisation are our main fields of activity. The creation and use of knowledge through learning, information and documentation are important to the Institute, as is international cooperation. The Institute is collaborating with interested parties in various development projects. The areas in which the Institute is active include: • la...
متن کاملEthylene glycol monoethyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate teratology studies.
An inhalation teratology study was conducted in rats at 10, 50 and 250 ppm ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) and in rabbits at 10, 50 and 175 ppm EGEE. This study was designed to supplement a study conducted for NIOSH which showed teratogenic effects in rats at 200 ppm EGEE and in rabbits at about 160 ppm EE. In this study, EGEE was found not to cause teratogenic effects at concentrations ...
