Anaphylaxis is a serious systemic hypersensitivity reaction that is rapid in onset and can cause death. Premature newborns, whose immunological system is immature, are less likely to develop anaphylaxis. Administration of amikacin, containing sodium metabisulfite, to a 3-day-old premature newborn, induced a near fatal anaphylaxis. After suspicion of sepsis, the baby was started on amikacin. Cli...

Conflicts of interest: No conflict of interests. desquamation at the application sites of a rotigotine TTS (Neupro® 6mg/24h; UCB Pharma, France Colombes) for 3months, with extension on the neckline and the upper back (Fig. 1). These reactions began 2weeks after the patient had used this TTS for early signs of Parkinson’s disease, with a progressive increase in the dose of rotigotine (initial do...

Methods Twenty two participants, 14 males and 8 females (mean age 31 years old), without eczema (Group 1) and 20 patients, 3 males and 17 females (mean age 35 years old), with chronic eczema (Group 2), living in Rosario, Argentina, were patch tested (PT) with sodium metabisulfite (MBS – CAS: 7681-57-4) 1% in petrolatum and with Brazilian Contact Standard Series (FDA Allergenic, Brazil). For the...

In this work, poly(acrylic acid-co-sodium acrylate) P(AA-SA) latex particles were prepared by inverse miniemulsion polymerization and used as a pH buffering agent for application. The polymerization was quickly initiated by a redox initiator (ammonium persulfate/sodium metabisulfite) at 0-5 degrees C. Thus the possibility of monomer dissolving in a solvent was reduced, which enhanced the degree...

The anthropic impacts on the environment, its perception and prevention are constant objects of studies aimed at improving quality life. Within this comprehensive area, process galvanization for metals generated waste was evaluated here, because is an effective alternative in protection against corrosion, also a good ally useful life metal parts although practical profitable, generates huge vol...
