Individual Differences in Reactions to Pb Do Physiologic Differences Influence Susceptibility to Pb?

چکیده
This chapter addresses evidence about the existence of individual differences and the possible relation of individual differences to illnesses in PGW veterans. Differences have been demonstrated in side effects with PB administration, in chemical response to PB, and in the relation of chemical response to side effects. Some evidence suggests a connection between differences in response to PB and subsequent development of illnesses in PGW veterans. Possible sources of individual differences are discussed.

BACKGROUND Neurological involvement occurs throughout the leprosy clinical spectrum and is responsible for the most feared consequences of the disease. Ultrasonography (US) provides objective measurements of nerve thickening and asymmetry. We examined leprosy patients before beginning multi-drug therapy aiming to describe differences in US measurements between classification groups and between ...
متن کاملSex-Dependent Effects of Developmental Lead Exposure on the Brain
The role of sex as an effect modifier of developmental lead (Pb) exposure has until recently received little attention. Lead exposure in early life can affect brain development with persisting influences on cognitive and behavioral functioning, as well as, elevated risks for developing a variety of diseases and disorders in later life. Although both sexes are affected by Pb exposure, the incide...
متن کاملTHE REMOVAL OF Pb(I1) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING A RETICULATED VITREOUS CARBON CATHODE CELL-THE INFLUENCE OF THE ELECTROLYTE MEDIUM*
The removal of Pb(I1) ions from aqueous solutions of perchlorate, nitrate, tetrafluoroborate, chloride and sulfate, pH 2, has been investigated in a cell with a reticulated vitreous carbon cathode. It is confirmed that the Pb(II) may always be removed. There are, however, marked differences in the conditions necessary and the performance attained by the system (eg, rate of removal, current effi...
