Five hundred and thirty cases of spring catarrh were studied at the Department of Ophthalmology, Khyber Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan. Corneal complications occurred in 259 patients, of which 48 cases were of keratoconus, consisting of 41 male and seven female patients. Most of the patients affected
Hemoglobin Constant Spring (Hb CS) is an unstable hemoglobin (Hb) variant that results from a nucleotide substitution at the termination codon of the alpha2-globin gene. The compound heterozygosity of alpha-thalassemia and Hb CS (--/alphaCSalpha) results in a Hb H/CS disease which is clinically more
BACKGROUND
Fetal anemia is often assumed to be due to red cell alloimmunization and Parvovirus infection, and can lead to hydrops fetalis and death in utero. Other causes, such as mutations of hemoglobin alpha, are less commonly considered.
METHODS
We report 7 cases with fetal anemia causing hydrops
BACKGROUND
Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is a toxic gas with the smells of "rotten egg"; its toxic effects are due to the blocking of cellular respiratory enzymes leading to cell anoxia and cell damage.
METHODS
We report two cases with acute H(2)S intoxication caused by inhalation of H(2)S evaporated
Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS, HBA2: c.427T > C) is a common nondeletional α-thalassemia (α-thal) that results from a nucleotide substitution at the termination codon of the α2-globin gene. Homozygosity for Hb CS (α(CS)α/α(CS)α) is relatively rare, and generally characterized with mild hemolytic anemia,
The potential hazards to maintenance personnel cleaning hot-spring reservoirs are reported following two severe and unusual episodes of acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning involving seven workers. In the first episode, five victims lost consciousness immediately after climbing down a manhole to the
A 72-year-old man was exposed to the sarin gas attack in a Tokyo subway on March 20 th, 1995. After exposure, he noticed eye discomfort, chest tightness, headache and weakness of the lower limbs and oropharyngeal muscles. Despite these symptoms, he visited a hot spring on the same day with his
BACKGROUND
The magnitude of the epidemic depends upon the scope of the contaminated product distributed. In the spring of 2000, an episode caused by the sale of sausage products which had not undergone health inspection. The purpose of this study is to provide an epidemiological description of the
BACKGROUND
Polymorphous light eruption (PLE) is the most common form of idiopathic photodermatosis. Several morphologic variants of PLE have been described, including a localized form of PLE primarily affecting the helices of the ears. To our knowledge, the presence of lesions on the elbows as the
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiinflammatory effect of Avene spring water on skin fragments stimulated by a neuromediator, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Skin fragments (from plastic surgery) were maintained for 6 h. To induce inflammation, VIP was applied on contact with the
OBJECTIVE
This prospective, randomized, and controlled study examined the effects of normal saline and selenium-enriched hot spring water on experimentally induced rhinosinusitis in rats.
METHODS
The study comprised two control groups (untreated and saline-treated) and three experimental groups of
Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS; HBA2: c.427T > C) is an unstable hemoglobin (Hb) variant that results from a nucleotide substitution at the termination codon of the α2-globin gene. Compound heterozygosity for α(0)-thalassemia (α(0)-thal) and Hb CS (- -(SEA)/α(CS)α) results in Hb H/Hb CS disease, which is
Circannual variation in the edema produced by intraplantar injection of carrageenan (carr) was examined over a period of 31 months. The anti-inflammatory effect of a dose of 30 mg/kg of phenylbutazone (PHZ) was also determined over a period of 1 year. Carr-induced edema was significantly larger in
A new method is presented for measuring swelling or rat paw edema in inflammation induced by carrageenin injection. This technique is compared to other widely used ones. A spring-loaded dial indicator produces results that are accurate, precise and reproducible. It is recommended for investigators
