The toxicity of three organophosphorous nematicides, imicyafos, fosthiazate and cadusafos, to non-target organisms in soil was evaluated. Imicyafos and fosthiazate had no significant inhibitory effect on the growth of fungal (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, Rhizoctonia solani and Trichoderma viride) and bacterial (Ralstonia solanacearum and Pseudomonas fluorescens) strains in media at 12.5 ...

Organophosphorous (OP) chemical warfare nerve agents mainly sarin and tabun were used during the Iran-Iraq war with high mortalities. In addition to atropine and oximes, the followings have recently been used successfully for the treatment of OP poisoning. 1. Sodium Bicarbonate: Infusion of high doses of sodium bicarbonate (5 mEq/kg in 60 min. followed by 5-6 mEq/kg/day to obtain arterial blood...

BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to organophosphorous (OP) pesticides has been found to be associated with adverse effects on child neurodevelopment, but evidence on potential effects induced by both prenatal and postnatal OP exposure in infants is limited. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the associations of both prenatal and postnatal OP exposure with birth outcomes and infant neurodevelop...

Background: Human deaths following poisoning are a matter of great concern. It has high mortality and morbidity. The present study was conducted to assess the organophosphorous poisoning with respect to age, gender, education status etc. Materials & Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in department of forensic medicine in year 2015. Data of all patients with history and clinical fi...

The biosensor devices were first researched by Clark and Lyons in 1962, aiming to measure the blood glucose level. Currently, there is a popularization of blood glucose meters and various technologies have been developed mainly for applications in medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. However, there is a wide range of applications for biosensors not yet available. The immobilization...
