THE RESULTS OF THIS INVESTIGATION MAY BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS: 1. The inhalation of formaldehyde gas in even small quantities is followed by bronchitis and pneumonia. Pneumonia is due to the inhalation of the gas and not to secondary infection. 2. Formalin belongs to that rare group of poisons which are capable of producing death suddenly when swallowed. 3. The introduction of formalin into th...

in this study, the effect of α-adrenoceptor agents on imipramine-induced antinociception was investigated using formalin test. intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of imipramine at different doses (10-80 mg/kg) induced antinociception in both phases of formalin test. in addition, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of imipramine (1, 5, and 10 µg/rat) did not elicit any effect, although ...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hyperalgesia and the role of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms in acute and chronic nociceptive assays have been well established. However, the role of COX isoforms in LPS-induced hyperalgesia in the formalin test is not clear. Thus, the present study was undertaken to characterize the time course of formalin-induced nociceptive response in LPS-pretreated mice and t...

Formalin merupakan salah satu senyawa kimia yang sering ditambahkan kepada ikan dan seafood. Padasaat paparan formalin masuk ke dalam tubuh manusia, maka hal tersebut sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeteksi kandungan pada sampel seafood berasal beberapa pasar lokal di kota Samarinda. Metode bersifat deskriptif observational terhadap 149 uji as...

Widely used, the formalin test is a tonic model of continuous pain resulting from formalin-induced tissue injury. It is a useful model, particularly for the screening of novel compounds, since it encompasses inflammatory, neurogenic, and central mechanisms of nociception [5,6]. Reports can vary widely with regard to concentration of formalin (itself a 37% dilute solution of formaldehyde) as wel...

Formalin-ethyl ether sedimentation, Formalin-ethyl acetate sedimentation, and zinc sulfate flotation techniques were compared using over 250 clinical parasitology specimens. Fifty positive specimens were identified, and a variety of parasites, including amoebae, flagellates, cestodes, nematodes, and trematodes, were encountered. The Formalin-ether and Formalin-ethyl acetate sedimentation proced...

Multidrug-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-Tb) and Multidrug-sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDS-Tb) isolated from humans were injected subcutaneously into the guinea pigs. One set of infected lungs of animals was fixed in 10% formalin pH7.2, while the other set was treated with 75% ethanol 2 hours prior to fixation in 10% formalin. After six months of fixation, MDS-Tb ...
