Lead poisoning

Metabolic inhibitors and receptor antagonists are indispensable tools for the molecular life scientist. By blocking specific enzymes or receptor-mediated signal transduction cascades, they simplify the analysis of complex cellular processes especially when it is essential to demonstrate that a process of interest is functionally linked to a particular enzyme or receptor.

In the world, almost all chicken meat is used in chilled or frozen meat to ensure quality and food hygiene and safety, but in Vietnam, the habit of using hot chicken meat is still quite common (do not lower the carcass temperature after slaughter, in storing, transporting or consuming), leading to a very high risk of food poisoning from this raw material.

Salmonella is an enterobacterium present in the environment as well as in a large number of animals which, in most cases, serve as host asymptomatically. This bacterium is the leading cause of collective food poisoning in the world. In view of the expansion of salmonellosis in the world and the emergence of multi-resistant strains of Salmonella, this is a threat to human safety. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence rate of Salmonella and their antibiotic resistance profile, antibiotics often used in cattle breeding in the district of Abidjan.

Vibrio species are the major food borne pathogens commonly associated with aquatic food poisonings and lead to food-borne outbreaks. In this present study, out of 105 fresh water fish (Catlacatla) samples collected, 87 (82.85%) were found positive for Vibrio species. Out of 87, 6 (6.9%), 2 (2.3%), 4 (4.6%) and 3 (3.45%) isolates were found to be V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, V. alginolyticus and V. cholerae respectively by mPCR. The 15 different Vibrio species were subjected to antibiogram studies including ESBL detection.

Lead (Pb) exposure is estimated to account for 0.6% of the global burden of disease with the highest burden in developing regions. Lead is considered as general protoplasmic poison, which is slow acting, cumulative and subtle. The use of leaded gasoline, discharges from industrial activities and other sources, and deposition by rainfall or dry fall can greatly influence the availability of Pb in soil, water, and other environments. Most of the Pb in plants and soil surface are anthropogenic origin.

Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is a leading cause of severe neuropsychological impairments. Peripheral nerve injury has rarely been reported. It consists usually in a demyelinating polyneuropathy or mononeuropathy affecting mainly the lower limbs. Isolated involvement of both upper extremities has been described in only 4 patients related to root damage.

Hen eggs contaminated with lead can be harmful to the health of children and adults. The objective of this pilot study was to investigate if sub-chronic treatment with ascorbic acid can reduce lead levels in the different parts of hen eggs after intentionally exposing the laying hens to a concentrated source of lead.

In 2016, in a lead poisoning outbreak in Iran, physicians reported thousands of opium users who presented to emergency departments (EDs) with intractable severe abdominal pain which did not respond to any narcotic medication. During the same period of time, we investigated the efficacy of intravenous calcium gluconate in alleviating lead-induced abdominal pain.

The current study proposes a novel binary catalyst system (composed of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles) as a promising electrocatalyst in formic acid oxidation. The electro-catalytic oxidation of formic acid is carried out with binary catalysts of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pt) and manganese oxide nanorods (nano-MnOx) electrodeposited onto glassy carbon (GC) electrodes. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) measurements showed that unmodified GC and nano-MnOx/GC electrodes have no catalytic activity. While two oxidation peaks were observed at nano-Pt/GC electrode at ca. 0.2 and 0.

ersonal “lives” were, generally not migrated into archives because of their on-going nature although nearly all photos were treated as archival. The rationale was that photos are fundamentally archives and this had to do with the mindset that Windows established by making “My Pictures” a special folder, that would lead people to store all photos in one folder hierarchy. Most of Bell’s photos are in a folder called “A Big Shoebox”. Over time, however, we also ended up storing photos throughout the folder hierarchy because all items pertaining to a single subject, e.g.

Until well into the twentieth century, serious accidents and occupational hazards leading to disease were a normal part of working life for millions of the working population. People were made deaf by excessive noise in mills, burned by slag and molten metal in foundries, their lungs wrecked by dust in mining and farming, their organs poisoned by lead in paints or mercury used in making hats.

Some of the suggestions in this book may be helpful or at least have a placebo effect. Beware of the many recipes that include kerosene (coal oil), turpentine, ammonium chloride, lead, lye (sodium hydroxide), strychnine, arsenic, mercury, creosote, sodium phosphate, opium, cocaine and other illegal, poisonous or corrosive items. Many recipes do not specify if it is to be taken internally or topically (on the skin). There is an extreme preoccupation with poultices (applied to the skin, 324 references) and "keeping the bowels open" (1498 references, including related terms)....

The built environment embraces a wide range of concepts, from the design and integrity of housing, to land-use and urban planning. A high quality environment is essential for children to achieve optimal health and development. Building and land-use policies, including the quality and design of a child’s physical environment, can cause or prevent illness, disability and injury, and degrade or preserve natural resources.

In the last quarter-century childhood lead poisoning declined dramatically as common sources of lead exposure such as leaded gasoline were eliminated or reduced. From 1976 through 1994, the prevalence of elevated blood lead levels [10 micrograms lead per deciliter whole blood (µg/dL) or more] among children aged 1 to 5 years dropped from 88.2% to 4.4% (10, 29, 79).
