BACKGROUND Exposure to nickel, cobalt and chromate are important causes of occupational contact dermatitis. OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of nickel, cobalt and chromate allergy in a population of consecutive patients and to investigate the possible association with individual and occupational risk factors. PATIENTS/METHODS A total of 14 464 patients (67.6% women and 32.4% men) with ...

Tattoos are not mentioned as a source of exposure to nickel. Traces nickel are, however, almost inevitably found in tattoo inks impurities and sometimes tattooed skin. Whether tattoos has any health consequence is debated. We performed narrative review what currently known about this topic. Today, frequently detected inks, but at highly variable levels. It appears be higher concentrations green...

Nickel allergy is quite common. The predominant component of nitinol nickel. rare in clinical practice but well established. Most closure devices for the LAA employ nitinol. Lariat ligation avoids exposure to incidence post-lariat leak variable reported literature. Central leaks occur epicardial due gunny sack effect. We report a unique case central coil embolization patient with allergy. In pa...

Context: Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC) are stable and durable restorations a valuable technique in repairing deciduous teeth with extensive caries. Nickel chromium the main composing elements of SSCs, i.e. released oral environment; they can cause allergic reactions, especially nickel-sensitive children. The symptoms these reactions include gingival edema loss alveolar bone. Evidence Acquisition...

N ickel is a potentially allergenic material. It is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in women. l-5 Nickel can also be considered an occupational allergen. Nickel contact dermatitis is common among industrial workers, especially in those industries that use nickel as a raw material. It has been demonstrated that U.S. S-cent coins contain approximately 25...

Attempts have been made to elucidate the immunopathogenesis of contact allergy; yet, the exact mechanism by which nickel-induced allergic contact dermatitis (NACD) occurs is far from clear and is discussed herein. It seems to suggest that a direct nickel-MHC class II molecule binding on the skin antigen presenting cells such as Langerhans cells (LCs) would result in Th1 cell activation. Substan...

Nickel is ubiquitous in our daily environment and remains the most common cause of contact allergy worldwide. Regulation nickel release exists Europe but unfortunately continues to be absent United States. often associated with earrings other jewelry; however, novel exposures through diet electronic devices materials also occur. Once diagnosed, allergen avoidance key for improvement symptoms.
