Myoclonic encephalopathy after exposure to trichloroethylene.
Trichloroethylene is a widely-used industrial solvent that is absorbed through the digestive or respiratory tracts or cutaneously. It has a selective tropism for the cardiovascular and central nervous systems and may cause death due to cardiac arrest or neurological sequelae. We present the case of a 25-yr-old women who was exposed to trichloroethylene in the workplace for 18 months and who dev...
متن کاملExposure assessment of trichloroethylene.
This article reviews exposure information available for trichloroethylene (TCE) and assesses the magnitude of human exposure. The primary sources releasing TCE into the environment are metal cleaning and degreasing operations. Releases occur into all media but mostly into the air due to its volatility. It is also moderately soluble in water and can leach from soils into groundwater. TCE has com...
متن کاملCancer in relation to occupational exposure to trichloroethylene.
Accepted 3 September 1995 Trichloroethylene (TCE), C2HC13, has been produced commercially for more than 80 years. For the past few decades it has been used primarily for metal degreasing, and as a solvent for oils and resins. Chronic high dose exposure to TCE increases the incidence of some forms of cancer in some species of rodents. Malignant tumours of the liver occur with increased frequency...
متن کاملHigh-resolution metabolomics of occupational exposure to trichloroethylene
BACKGROUND Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) has been linked to adverse health outcomes including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and kidney and liver cancer; however, TCE's mode of action for development of these diseases in humans is not well understood. METHODS Non-targeted metabolomics analysis of plasma obtained from 80 TCE-exposed workers [full shift exposure range of 0.4 to 230 p...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of clinical and laboratory characteristics of systemic sclerosis
Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by vasculopathy and excessive collagen deposition in the skin and internal organs. Based on the skin damage we divide the patients into two groups: limited and diffuse SSc. In restricted type, the thickness of the skin is limited in the face and distal parts of the elbows and knees, with less involveme...
