Gamma Benzene Hexachloride in Guinea-Pig Brain After Topical Application

The comparison of oral Ivermectin and topical Gamma Benzene Hexachloride 1% in treatment of Scabies

Background: Oral ivermectin is recently introduced for the treatment of scabies. Objective: The objective of this clinical trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of oral ivermectin and topical Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (GBH) 1% for the treatment of scabies. Patients and Methods: Fifty-eight cases were randomly assigned in the two treatment groups. In the ivermectin group, patients receiv...

Bhc (benzene Hexachloride) Formulations

Experience in Queensland has shown that when crude BHC is refined to yield products containing higher proportions of the gamma isomer, the insecticidal persistence of the BHC in soil is decreased. This process also diminishes the specific toxicity of BHC to the soldier fly pest, Alfe~nzetopon.ia rubriceps (Macq.). I t also decreases the potential phytotoxicity, since less total BHC is required ...

Topical Application of Substance P Facilitates Vestibular Functional Recovery Induced by AMPA in the Guinea Pig

Hypothesis: Topical Substance P (SP) application facilitates recovery from vestibular disorders induced by (±)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4propionic acid (AMPA) in guinea pigs and may offer a treatment strategy for patients with peripheral vestibular disorders. Methods: Sixteen Hartley white guinea pigs were assigned to groups administered with SP and artificial perilymph. A hole was ...

Topical Hyposensitization of Allergic Contact Sensitivity in the Guinea Pig.

When an adequate amount of an antigenie chemical such as dinitroehlorobenzene (DNCB) is applied to the skin of a guinea pig, an allergic contact sensitivity to that compound may result; this sensitivity is analogous to contact sensitivity in man. After the appearance of sensitization, however, further application of the same chemical to the skin may eventually produce a specific depression of s...
