OBJECTIVE The aim of this study based on the records of the dermatology department of a tertiary referral hospital was to describe patients treated for allergic contact dermatitis induced by nickel between 2000 and 2010. MATERIALS AND METHODS From records of the skin allergy section of the dermatology department we extracted and analyzed information for patients who underwent patch testing wi...

Children, especially those with atopic dermatitis, are at risk for nickel sensitization and subsequent dermatitis from metal-containing objects, namely belt buckles. We describe allergic contact dermatitis in 12 children with peri-umbilical nickel dermatitis (with and without generalized involvement) caused by dimethylglyoxime-positive belt buckles. The patients' symptoms resolved with avoidanc...

Abstract The article presents the possibility of recovering nickel from waste produced as a result wastewater neutralization during electrochemical surface treatment metals. Leaching sludge with concentrated hydrochloric acid enabled metals contained in precipitate to solution efficiency 74.4% (Se) 100% (Zn). content elements was determined using ICP-OES method. next step precipitation obtained...

The electrochemical behavior of Pt(IV) ions in the presence of dimethylglyoxime has been investigated using adsorptive stripping voltammetric method. The results indicated that the platinum is reduced from its adsorbed state as bis-dimethylglyoxi-mate platinum(IV) complex. The peak current is linearly proportional to the Pt(IV) concentration in the solution, thus representing the basis for a qu...

BACKGROUND In Korea, the prevalence of nickel allergy has shown a sharply increasing trend. Cobalt contact allergy is often associated with concomitant reactions to nickel, and is more common in Korea than in western countries. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of items that release nickel and cobalt on the Korean market. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total ...
