Visual disturbances with clomiphene.
Clomiphene is a widely prescribed drug for the treatment of infertility. Visual symptoms that occur as a side effect of this drug are uncommon. Some doctors may neglect to mention this side effect when prescribing clomiphene. Thus these visual disturbances can be very alarming to the patient and may also pose a hazard if the patient is doing activities such as driving or operating machinery. Th...
متن کاملGlutathione-induced conversion of pentavalent antimony to trivalent antimony in meglumine antimoniate.
The standard treatment of human leishmaniases involves the use of pentavalent antimony [Sb(V)] compounds, including meglumine antimoniate. The mode of action of these compounds has not been fully elucidated. The possibility that Sb(III) is involved has been suggested; however, the biomolecule that may induce the conversion of Sb(V) to Sb(III) has not yet been identified. In the present study, w...
متن کاملIdentification of Antimony- and Arsenic-Oxidizing Bacteria Associated with Antimony Mine Tailing
Antimony (Sb) is a naturally occurring toxic element commonly associated with arsenic (As) in the environment and both elements have similar chemistry and toxicity. Increasing numbers of studies have focused on microbial As transformations, while microbial Sb interactions are still not well understood. To gain insight into microbial roles in the geochemical cycling of Sb and As, soils from Sb m...
متن کاملBiochemical disturbances associated with total hip replacement.
A prospective study on 227 patients undergoing arthroplasty of the hip was carried out with reference to the effects on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Investigations revealed that the placing of acrylic bone cement and the prosthesis in the femoral shaft produced clinical and biochemical disturbances which were consistent with pulmonary microembolism. A fall in arterial oxygen tens...
متن کاملMetabolic Disturbances Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
The metabolic disturbances that underlie systemic lupus erythematosus are currently unknown. A metabolomic study was executed, comparing the sera of 20 SLE patients against that of healthy controls, using LC/MS and GC/MS platforms. Validation of key differences was performed using an independent cohort of 38 SLE patients and orthogonal assays. SLE sera showed evidence of profoundly dampened gly...
