Investigates the effects of two well-known carbamate~, physostigmine and pyridostiginine against organophosphorous compound and nerve gas toxicity. Physostigmine pretreatment for 30 min enhanced the survival time of rats against DFP intoxication whereas it did not have any effect with sarin poisoning. However, pyridostigmine pretreatment did not produce any significant effect on survival time e...

BACKGROUND Electrochemical oxidation considered to be among the best methods in waste water desalination and removing toxic metals and organic pesticides from wastewater like Methidathion. The objective of this work is to study the electrochemical oxidation of aqueous wastes containing Methidathion using boron doped diamond thin-film electrodes and SnO2, and to determine the calculated partial ...

Organophosphorus compounds are irreversible inhibitors of cholinesterase enzyme. Exposure causes a progression of toxic signs, including hypersecretion, tremor, convulsion, respiratory distress, epileptiform seizure, brain injuries and death. To protect brain injuries, administration of diazepam as a neuroprotectant is now considered essential for severely exposed nerve agent casualties. Howeve...

The chemical compound temephos (0,0,0',0'-tetrametyl-0,0'-thiodi-p-phenylene phosphorothioate) is an organophosphorous pesticide that has been used in Brazil since 1967 in control campaigns against the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and yellow fever. We used single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), SOS/umu and Ames/Salmonella assays to test the toxicity and mutagenicity of temephos...

Filth-inhabiting flies are capable of transmitting at least 30 human diseases. Poultry droppings are of special significance as one of the major sources of fly breeding, particularly when birds are maintained in wire cages. At least 24 species of Ries belonging to 14 families breed in chicken manure in Hawaii (Tanada, et al, 1950). Musca domestica (L.) is the predominant species, yet there are ...

This study was designed to investigate the acute toxic effect of Diazinon on some blood parameters. Twelve male rabbits were divided randomly and equally into two groups, A treated group (T) control (C). Animals dipped in 3:1000 diazinon solution. Within 24 hours following treatment, animals showed moderate symptom organophosphorous poisoning such as dyspnia depression. Blood analysis revealed ...
