The aim of our study was to evaluate treatment outcomes in patients treated at the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute in 2006- 2010. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed the clinical data of 29 newly diag...

recognizing patients at a higher risk of developing chronic low back pain (lbp) is important in industrial medicine. this study aimed to assess the power and quality of general health questionnaire (ghq) for prediction of the odds of chronicity of acute lbp. this study was conducted on industrial workers. all subjects with acute lbp who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. demographic char...

Previous studies have shown that imidacloprid and insecticidally active imidacloprid plant metabolites are rapidly metabolized by honeybees. Accordingly, no striking differences were expected between the acute and the chronic dietary toxicity of imidacloprid to honeybees. More recently, however, an unexpectedly high chronic dietary toxicity to honeybees was reported for imidacloprid and imidacl...

All aquatic organisms are directly or indirectly affected by the physical characteristics of their environment, especially the chemical composition of the water. The high concentration levels, damage tissues and interfere with the normal growth and proliferation. The aim of this research was to Investigation acute toxicity of ZnSO4 and CuCl2 to Gambusia holbrooki ...

BACKGROUND This is the first published assessment on agricultural pesticide use in Iran with the aim to identify pesticide products with a potential of causing acute or chronic hazard to human health. It also establishes a baseline for future comparisons and for trend assessments. METHODS The amounts of imported technical materials for formulation by local manufacturers as well as imported fi...

background: acute renal failure describes as a syndrome by rapid decline in the ability of the kidney to eliminate waste products, regulate acid–base balance, and manage water homeostasis. when this impairment is prolonged and entered chronic phase, erythropoietin secretion by this organ is decreasing and toxic metabolic accumulates and causes hematological changes include decrease of hct, mcv ...

Galega officinalis (galega, Goat`s rue, French lilac) is a traditional plant from south east Europe. There are various reports about pharmacological properties of Galega officinalis such as diuretic, platelet aggregation, anti-bacterial, lactogen and anti-diabetic effect. There are a few studies about possible toxicological effect of this plant. In the present study, we evaluated the acute toxi...

Herbicide use is among the most criticized aspects of modern farming, especially as it relates to genetically engineered (GE) crops. Many previous analyses have used flawed metrics to evaluate herbicide intensity and toxicity trends. Here, I show that herbicide use intensity increased over the last 25 years in maize, cotton, rice and wheat. Although GE crops have been previously implicated in i...
