متن کاملEffects of intravenous N-acetylcysteine infusion on time to fatigue and potassium regulation during prolonged cycling exercise.
The production of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle is linked with muscle fatigue. This study investigated whether the antioxidant compound N-acetylcysteine (NAC) augments time to fatigue during prolonged, submaximal cycling exercise. Seven men completed a double-blind, crossover study, receiving NAC or placebo before and during cycling exercise, comprising 45 min at 70% of peak oxygen...
متن کاملHepatotoxicity due to zinc phosphide poisoning in two patients: role of N‐acetylcysteine
Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2/ZnP) is used as a rodenticide. The most common signs of toxicity are nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and metabolic acidosis; patients presenting such signs are referred to the emergency department (ED) of the hospitals. Therefore, this study aimed to report two cases of hepatotoxicity following accidental and intentional ZnP poisoning and successful management with N-acetyl...
متن کاملThe use of household bleach to control Aedes aegypti.
We evaluated the lethal effects of household bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite; NaOCI) on immature Aedes aegypti in tap water, with and without food, and in field-collected automobile tires. A sublethal dose was employed as a disinfectant in tires to control immatures through the destruction of microorganisms that constitute the main food items of mosquito larvae. The concentration of bleach th...
متن کاملHepatotoxicity Secondary to Chemotherapy
The difficult problem faced by multiple generation of practicing physicians is determining the cause of abnormal liver function tests in cancer patients on chemotherapy. Hepatotoxicity from chemotherapy occurs frequently from an unpredictable or idiosyncratic reaction. Despite remarkable advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of action, pharmacodynamics, and interrelationships between ...
