Parathion and Acute Intoxication. the Importance of Toxicological Analytic Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the distribution of parathion in blood and various other organs, according to the etiology of the intoxication. As a rule, concentration levels are small, especially in the blood and in the stomach are higher, particularly in cases of suicide. In studies carried out on some patients admitted to hospital with parathion poisoning, entero-hepatic recirculation could have been a factor. We would stress the importance of all information in the interpretation of the results so as to arrive at a safe diagnosis.

متن کاملAn integrated addition and interaction model for assessing toxicity of chemical mixtures.
The high propensity for simultaneous exposure to multiple environmental chemicals necessitates the development and use of models that provide insight into the toxicity of chemical mixtures. In this study, we developed a mathematical model that combines concepts of concentration addition, response addition, and toxicokinetic chemical interaction to assess toxicity of chemical mixtures. A ternary...

متن کاملEsterases in marine dinoflagellates and resistance to the organophosphate insecticide parathion.
Esterases are involved in the susceptibility or resistance of organisms to organophosphate pesticides. We have examined the action of parathion on the marine dinoflagellates Crypthecodinium cohnii and Prorocentrum micans by looking at their esterases. One-dimensional gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting and cytochemistry plus image analysis were used to characterize the nature and distribution o...
