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.
Fifteen degassers were acutely exposed over several days to high concentrations (> 60 ppm) of benzene during removal of residual fuel (degassing) from shipboard fuel tanks. Medical surveillance evaluation mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Benzene Standard
Disposable filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) used by health care workers are not designed to reduce the inhalation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Smoke-generating surgical procedures release VOCs and have been associated with the following complaints: foul smell, headaches, nausea,
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
OBJECTIVE
The deck crew on tankers can be exposed to high concentrations of benzene and other chemicals during loading, unloading and tank-cleaning operations. The objective of this study was to investigate whether genotoxic or other early health effects of cargo vapour exposure could be detected in
In some African countries, time of clean environment with no air pollution belongs to the past. From now on, pollution is a problem of public heath in addition to malnutrition and infectious diseases still badly controlled. The sanitary consequences induced by pollution is now a cause for concern in
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
Currently, it is known that several chemical agents used or generated by the oil industry are classified as mutagens and/or carcinogens. Among these we have gasoline, diesel, butane gas, styrene, benzene, chloroform, and others. Studies have verified that these chemicals have effects in fertility
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
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
"Environmental tobacco smoke" (ETS) is the term used to characterize tobacco combustion products inhaled by nonsmokers in the proximity of burning tobacco. Over 3800 compounds are in tobacco smoke, many of which are known carcinogens. Most ETS exposure is from sidestream smoke emitted from the
