toluene/hemorrhage

Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is often used as a solvent in paints, paint thinners, glues, disinfectants and as an industrial solvent for the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, paints and chemicals. Metabolic acidosis is a recognized complication of toluene poisoning. However, we here

METHODS A 19-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency center with the development of quadriparesis after prolonged inhalation of lacquer thinner (67% toluene). Laboratory findings were compatible with a distal renal tubular acidosis manifest as metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, and

Rates of menstrual disorders were studied in 231 female production workers with high exposure to toluene (mean 88 (range 50-150 ppm) in a factory manufacturing audio speakers and compared with a control group of 58 female production workers in other departments in the same factory who had little or

Toluene (methylbenzene; volatile hydrocarbon) is an industrial solvent that causes major injury to the lungs; the organ being the first capillary bed encountered. We report an unusual case of suicide by a 24-year-old male, paramedical professional, with fatal outcome within 16 h of intentional,

We reported two patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities syndrome, who were born to mothers having inhaled organic solvents during pregnancy. They had microcephaly, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, seizures, growth failure and minor craniofacial anomalies, variable growth

The occurrence of hemoptysis, dyspnea, and bilateral pulmonary opacities progressed to respiratory failure in a 34-yr-old man. Recovery occurred with corticosteroid therapy. In the absence of evidence for an infectious etiology, the possibility of immunologic trimellitic anhydride (TMA) hemorrhagic

Toluene is used to back-blend gasoline, as a chemical intermediate, and as a solvent; 920 million gallons were produced in the United States in 1988. Toxicology studies were conducted by administering toluene (greater than 99% pure) in corn oil by gavage to groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of

Toluene is an organic solvent that is toxic to humans. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and thymoquinone (TQ) exhibit antioxidant and antitoxic effects. We investigated the protective effects of CAPE and TQ on toluene induced hepatotoxicity. Wistar albino rats were divided into seven groups of

OBJECTIVE Exposure to diisocyanates is a well known occupational hazard. The objective of this study was to determine the possibility of an association between low exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) (airborne isocyanates and biomarkers of isocyanates in plasma and urine) and symptoms of the eyes

In the present study, a series of new hydrazone and sulfonamide derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole were synthesized. Initially three 4-substituted-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones ZE-1(a-c) were treated with ethyl chloroacetate to get the corresponding thioesters ZE-2(a-c), which were reacted with

The studies covered 211 women employed at a Technical Articles Plant in exposure to chemical solvents, such as: methyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, xylene, toluene, n-amyl acetate. The workplaces were ventilated and the concentrations of

OBJECTIVE The impact of occupational hazards on erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels and menstrual cycle characteristics in women exposed to aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. The investigated cohort consisted of 110 women exposed to benzene, toluene, xylene and styrene while working in the transport

Pancreatic-derived proteases play a central role in the pathogenesis of ischemic intestinal injury. We postulated that exocrine blockade by pretreatment with a long-acting somatostatin analogue, octreotide acetate, would attenuate ischemic mucosal injury. Sprague-Dawley rats received subcutaneous

A young woman committed suicide by ingesting benzine. We report the findings obtained at autopsy and the chemical analyses of the gastric contents, blood, and tissues in this case. Fatal concentrations of n-hexane, benzene, toluene and m-, p-xylene were detected. Pulmonary edema and hemorrhage were
