[ 1 ] - Effects of Diesel Combustion Nanoparticles on Oxidative Stress Markers among the Exposures
Background: Although studies are available on lipid peroxidation products and the antioxidant status in experimental animals, a detailed report on human exposed to diesel combustion nanoparticles is meagre. We aimed to study the variation in oxidative stress markers among exposures. Method:A cross-sectional study during the period between 2015-2017 was conducted among 500 male garage workers of...
[ 2 ] - Outcome of Paraquat Poisoned Patients Treated with a Commonly Used Therapeutic Flowchart: A Case Series
Background: Paraquat poisoning is a medical emergency challenge due to its inherent severe toxicity and unavailability of specific antidote for it. In this paper, a series of patients who were treated according to a commonly used treatment flowchart are presented. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out on paraquat poisoned patients admitted to District Hospital, Chamaraj...
[ 3 ] - Reduced Levels of Serum Potassium and Plasma Cholinesterase in Acute Organophosphate Poisoning: Possible Predictive Markers
Background: It is becoming apparent that although inhibition of cholinesterase plays a key role in organophosphate (OP) toxicity, other factors are also important. One of the contributing factors for severity of OP poisoning is electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia. This study was aimed at evaluating the value of hypokalemia in association with plasma cholinesterase (PChE) levels in predic...
[ 4 ] - Relevance of Plasma Cholinesterase to Clinical Findings in Acute Organophosphorous Poisoning
Background: Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is a major public health problem in developing world. OP pesticides inhibit carboxylic esterase enzymes including plasma cholinesterase (PChE). Clinical manifestations following OP poisoning can be associated with the extent of decrease of PChE. This study was designed to investigate the relevance of PChE level to clinical manifestations in OP poisoni...
