Mass photokeratitis following exposure to unprotected ultraviolet light.
We report a cluster of patients developing photokeratitis as a result of exposure to unprotected UV-B light source. The incident occurred at a cattle livestock market auction where the light source protective covers of mercury vapour lamps were damaged because of vandalism. The incident was investigated by the District Council as a public health and safety issue. This report stresses the hazard...
متن کاملMass Spectrometry-Based Metabolite Profiling in the Mouse Liver following Exposure to Ultraviolet B Radiation
Although many studies have been performed on the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin, only a limited number of reports have investigated these effects on non-skin tissue. This study aimed to describe the metabolite changes in the liver of hairless mice following chronic exposure to UVB radiation. We did not observe significant macroscopic changes or alterations in hepatic choleste...
متن کاملMultiplicity reactivation of reovirus particles after exposure to ultraviolet light.
McClain, Mary E. (California State Department of Public Health, Berkeley), and Rex S. Spendlove. Multiplicity reactivation of reovirus particles after exposure to ultraviolet light. J. Bacteriol. 92:1422-1429. 1966.-Exposure of reovirus suspensions to moderate doses of ultraviolet light results in essentially exponential inactivation of infectivity to survivals of 10(-2) to 10(-3). With suspens...
متن کاملArginase activity in epidermis following ultraviolet exposure.
Since the discovery of the enzyme arginase in extracts of mammalian liver , many investigators have reported the presence of arginase activtiy in many other tissues and various neoplastic tissues. In 1948 , Mardashev, Semina and Van Scott demonstrated, independently , that the arginase activity in the skin was located predominantly in the epidermis. Enzyme activity was also found to be signific...
متن کاملUse of Amplification Fragment Length Polymorphism to Genotype Pseudomonas stutzeri Strains Following Exposure to Ultraviolet Light A.
Changes in ultraviolet light radiation can act as a selective force on the genetic and physiological traits of a microbial community. Two strains of the common soil bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri, isolated from aquifer cores and from human spinal fluid were exposed to ultraviolet light. Amplification length polymorphism analysis (AFLP) was used to genotype this bacterial species and evaluate th...
