Biological Monitoring of Healthcare Workers Exposed to Antineoplastic Drugs: Urinary Assessment of Cyclophosphamide and Ifosfamide
Exposure of health care workers to antineoplastic drugs and subsequent adverse health effects is still an open issue. Very little has been studied on the extent of occupational exposure and handling conditions of antineoplastic drugs in Iran. We aimed to determine cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide concentrations in the urine samples of oncology healthcare workers. In addition, we assessed workpla...

متن کاملPreventing occupational exposures to antineoplastic drugs in health care settings.
The toxicity of antineoplastic drugs has been well known since they were introduced in the 1940s. Because most antineoplastic drugs are nonselective in their mechanism of action, they affect noncancerous as well as cancerous cells, resulting in well-documented side effects. During the 1970s, evidence came to light indicating health care workers may be at risk of harmful effects from antineoplas...

Introduction: The objectives of this study were to determine the air curtain velocities of hood to capture and contain the splashing oil. The optimal flow of air curtain velocities is introduced to apply cooking by pan frying. Methods: At the first stage, palm olein oil was poured to a pan and fried at constant temperature of 180 ± 5 °C for 140 seconds. In the meantime, the 4-air flows, which w...
متن کاملAdherence to safe handling guidelines by health care workers who administer antineoplastic drugs.
The toxicity of antineoplastic drugs is well documented. Many are known or suspected human carcinogens where no safe exposure level exists. Authoritative guidelines developed by professional practice organizations and federal agencies for the safe handling of these hazardous drugs have been available for nearly three decades. As a means of evaluating the extent of use of primary prevention prac...
