Studies on monochlorobenzene poisoning

Pharmacokinetic Studies on Oximes in Organophosphate Poisoning: A Mini Review

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning in developing countries especially in Southeastern Asia. Poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or OP compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The efficacy of oxime therapy in OP poisoned patients mainly depends upon various fac...

Experimental studies on carbon disulfide poisoning.

Radiopharmacological studies on the cadmium poisoning.

Cadmium (Cd) has recently been used extensively in industry. As a consequence, it is drawing attention as a causative agent of occupational diseases and environmental poll ution. Intensive studies are being carried out on Cd intoxication, and pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, necrosis of the renal cortex, etc. are now recognized as manifestations of acute Cd poisoning, while proteinuria, emphysema,...

Isotopic fractionation indicates anaerobic monochlorobenzene biodegradation.

The concentration and isotopic composition of monochlorobenzene (MCB) was monitored in the plume of an anaerobic, contaminated aquifer in Bitterfeld, Germany. An enrichment in the carbon isotopic composition of more than 4 delta units was found at the fringes of the plume relative to the center (-26.5 %), suggesting the occurrence of in situ biodegradation of MCB. A similar enrichment was measu...

Electroencephalographic studies on liquefied petroleum gas poisoning in rabbits.

KOMURA, S., UEDA, M. and FUJIMURA, K. Electroencephalographic Studies on Liquefied Petroleum Gas Poisoning in Rabbits. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1973, 111 (1), 33-40 -Rabbits were put into a special box which had a gas-exit and an upperpositioned gas-inlet, from which the Japanese Industrial Standard No. 3 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (L.P.G.) was distributed on equal proportion. The changes in the behav...
