Cyanide exposure may affect the brain.

چکیده

inorganic materials is an important factor in iron bioavailability. From another perspective, studies in the laboratory of Alvin Crumbliss have drawn attention to the use of iron by microbes in the soil and in our bodies. Iron is acquired by microbial organisms by the excretion of iron-specific complexing agents known as siderophores. Crumbliss and colleagues have studied the kinetics and mechanisms of ligand-exchange reactions with iron complexes that are relevant to microbial iron transport. They have shown that metallic environmental pollutants such as aluminum can interfere with normal iron transport processes. The MBC director, Celia Bonaventura, invites inquiries regarding the projects described above, potential animal models, or other aspects of the MBC.

Negative effects of cyanide on health and its removal options from industrial wastewater

Water resource scarcity, population growth, pollution of surface and groundwater by discharging toxic wastewater and subsequent diseases may raise the necessity of reusing and treatment of wastewater. Cyanide is one of the toxic materials which can be found in some industrial wastewaters. Strict laws set by international bodies have forced industries to work on developing efficient cyanide remo...

Evaluation of some Enzymatic Changes in the Liver and Kidney of Rats Following Exposure to Sublethal Concentration of Potassium Cyanide

Background: Besides acute lethal cyanide poisoning, its chronic intoxication may also produce some pathologic effects on different tissues that precedes alterations in biochemical parameters. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of sublethal cyanide exposure on some tissue enzyme activities in liver and kidney of rats. Methods: Twelve male rats were divided into two groups as ...

Milk transfer of cyanide and thiocyanate: Cyanide exposure by lactation in goats.

The present work was aimed at evaluating the effects of maternal exposure to potassium cyanide (KCN) during lactation in goats. Twenty-seven lactating female goats were orally dosed with 0 (control), 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 mg KCN/kg body weight/day from lactation days 0 to 90. After this period, all male kids and one mother from each group were killed for a pathological study. Cyanide treatment promo...

Chemical and metabolomic screens identify novel biomarkers and antidotes for cyanide exposure.

Exposure to cyanide causes a spectrum of cardiac, neurological, and metabolic dysfunctions that can be fatal. Improved cyanide antidotes are needed, but the ideal biological pathways to target are not known. To understand better the metabolic effects of cyanide and to discover novel cyanide antidotes, we developed a zebrafish model of cyanide exposure and scaled it for high-throughput chemical ...

P33: Effect of Mother\'s Anxiety on Fetus

The prenatal period is a critical time for neurodevelopment and is thus a period of vulnerability during which a range of exposures have been found to exert long-term changes on brain development and behavior with implications for physical and psychiatric health. During fetal life, neurons proliferate, migrate and form connections, providing the structure of the developing brain. Neurons reach ...

بررسی کارایی فرایند‌های فتوکاتالیستی با و بدون حضور آب اکسیژنه در حذف سیانید از محلول‌های آبی

Background and purpose: Cyanide (CN-) is of dangerous pollutants in the environment from industries such as electroplating, mining and paint entering into environment. The present study aimed to review the efficiency of cyanide removal by zirconia photocatalytic process with and without hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Materials and methods: This was an applied-fundamental study and was conducted in ...
