In this study, the efficiency of a clean-up method by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) for the separation of pesticides from lanolin is analyzed. The pesticides analyzed belong to two different families, organophosphorous and synthetic pyrethroids. Lanolin, a standard mixture of the pesticides, and a lanolin-pesticides mixture are injected in a GPC column. The recoveries and elution times fr...

It has been suggested that in systemic sclerosis (SSc) the primary fault is in the microcirculation.' If this were so, then topical glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) might favourably influence skin blood flow and elasticity in areas of sclerodermatous skin change. Ten patients (three men, seven women; median age 48 years, range 24-70) fulfilling the American Rheumatism Association criteria for SSc2 wer...

Based on patient history and vesicular appearance of lesions, a diagnosis of contact dermatitis to Iruxol, confirmed by patch testing (Figure 1B),...

Amish burn wound ointment (ABO) contains honey, lanolin, oils, glycerin, bees wax, and other natural additives. Although there are many anecdotal reports that this ointment covered with a burdock leaf (BL) dressing promotes burn wound healing, little scientific testing of this treatment has occurred.

1. By inoculating the scarified surface of both sides of the scrotum of rabbits with suspensions of Treponema pallidum, 100 per cent of infections were obtained on one side or the other. Infection through the unbroken skin could not be produced. 2. By gland transfers from animals with positive local inoculations, 87.5 per cent of takes were produced. 3. These two methods were used to test the p...
