Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common and undesirable complaints recorded in as many as 70-80% of high-risk surgical patients. The current prophylactic therapy recommendations for PONV management stated in the Society of Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) guidelines should
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to assess the adverse health symptoms experienced by adult subjects who were exposed to benzene after a flaring disaster at the BP refinery in Texas City, Texas.
METHODS
A total of 2162 adults aged 18 years or older and exposed to benzene were included.
An accurate and relatively simple radioimmunoassay for the determination of aldosterone concentration in peripheral plasma has been developed, 0.5-2.0 ml plasma with added [1,2-3H]aldosterone is extracted with dichloromethane. Purification of the extract is achieved by thin later chromatography in
Eleven substituted 8-amino-3-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a] pyrazines were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) in rats. The compounds were prepared in four stages from the phenylacetonitriles. I. The intermediate
On 21 September 2008, heavy oil penetrated the drinking water supply in Slavonski Brod, Croatia. The accident was caused by the damage of heat exchange units in hot water supply. The system was polluted until the beginning of November, when the pipeline was treated with BIS O 2700 detergent and
BACKGROUND
Diclofenac is a benzene-acetic acid derivative that acts, like other NSAIDs, by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase isoforms that mediate the body's production of the prostaglandins implicated in pain and inflammation. Diclofenac is widely available as a sodium or potassium salt. Diclofenac
A toxicological investigation was performed with the linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS) using 4 groups of 3 male and 3 female monkeys. Dosages were 0, 30, 150, 300 and 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg/kg/day by simultaneous oral (p.o.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) administration respectively, for 28 days. At 300
Six cases of oral intoxication with lindane-solvent mixtures are reviewed. The ingested doses of lindane (mean dosage 120 mg/kg +/- 86 mg/kg) and benzene (mean dosage 366 mg/kg +/- 93 mg/kg) exceeded the toxic level. Symptoms (vomiting, dizziness and hyperreflexia) occurred within 30 min and all
We like to think that our homes are a safe haven. However, in recent years we have been discovering that certain products, designs, and even the siting of our homes can create health risks. When families moved into a new development in Waynesville, NC, called "Barber Orchard," they were ecstatic
BACKGROUND
Lindane (gamma-benzene hexachloride), commonly used as a treatment for pediculosis, has been associated with adverse reactions and has recently undergone increased regulation.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to describe the patterns of a large number of lindane exposures reported to poison centers in
Metoclopramide has recently been approved at dose levels of 1 to 2 mg/kg for the treatment of nausea and vomiting resulting from cancer chemotherapeutic agents. A rapid, sensitive reverse phase HPLC quantitative procedure for metoclopramide in serum is described. The method involves a single-step
CP-31398 (N'-[2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-4-quinazolinyl]-N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine dihydrochloride) is a styrylquinazoline that stabilizes the DNA binding conformation of p53, thereby maintaining the activity of p53 as a transcription factor and tumor suppressor. In consideration of the
Hospital nursing workers are exposed to occupational chemical risks. This quantitative study aimed to identify what chemical substances nurses have contact with in their activities, what substances cause health problems and what alterations correspond to possible problems caused by the chemical
BACKGROUND
5-Hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptors are excitatory ligand-gated ion channels which are involved in postoperative nausea and vomiting. They are depressed by the anesthetic propofol, which, in contrast, enhances the activity of inhibitory ligand-gated ion channels such as
