BACKGROUND In studies in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the 1990s of an aluminium hydroxide-adsorbed pertussis toxoid vaccine, 745 of ~76 000 vaccinated children developed long-lasting itchy subcutaneous nodules at the vaccination site. Of 495 children with itchy nodules patch tested for aluminium allergy, 376 (76%) were positive. OBJECTIVES To study the prognosis of the vaccine-induced aluminium all...

Sub-cutaneous immunotherapy is an effective treatment for allergy. It works by helping to modify or re-balance an individual's immune response to allergens and its efficacy is greatly improved by the use of adjuvants, most commonly, aluminium hydroxide. Aluminium salts have been used in allergy therapy for many decades and are assumed to be safe with few established side-effects. This assumptio...

Background: Several studies have demonstrated that elevated Aluminium (Al) levels contribute to Alzheimer or ALS Multiple sclerosis pathophysiology. Aim: we have described three cases of patients who had extremely elevated Aluminium levels (Al) (before any treatment) by unknown causes. Results: These patients reduces 48 % their Aluminium levels and rise (67 %) GSH (Glutathione: reduced form) le...

Seventeen severely anaemic and transfusion-dependent haemodialysis patients with a haemoglobin less than 7 g/dl were treated with recombinant human erythropoietin (r-Hu-EPO). Aluminium toxicity was diagnosed by a positive desferrioxamine (DFO) test and bone biopsy. Seven out of eight patients without aluminium toxicity responded to r-Hu-EPO therapy. Similarly all patients with aluminium toxicit...

Antiperspirants denote cosmetic products with an anti-perspiration effect which are available as roll-ons, sticks, creams or aerosols (sprays). The anti-perspiration effect is achieved by means of aluminium salts which block the ends of the sweat ducts for a certain amount of time. The safety of aluminium and antiperspirants continues to be critically examined. This is notably true with regard ...

The negative effects of elevated concentrations of inorganic aluminium on aquatic organisms are well documented. Acid deposition is often cited as a main driver behind the mobilisation and speciation of aluminium in soils and surface waters. In the study, we tested the hypothesis that sulphur deposition is the main driver for elevated concentrations of inorganic aluminium in 114 base poor, bore...

BACKGROUND epidemiological studies of Alzheimer's disease and aluminium intake have focused on aluminium in drinking water. There have been no studies investigating the relation between the disease and the consumption of foods containing large amounts of aluminium additives. OBJECTIVES to conduct a pilot study to determine whether dietary intake of aluminium additives differs in individuals w...

aluminium phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in iran. however, hemolysis associated with aluminium phosphide poisoning is very rare. we report a case of concurrent aluminium phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. key words: gl...

About 50% of metals used in Aerospace industries are Aluminium and Titanium alloys, Alloys such as Ti6Al4V, AL-7175, and AL7075 are used extensively in space vehicles, aviation, and automotive industries for having enhanced mechanical properties like High strength to weight ratio, low Thermal Expansion and better Corrosion resistance. Comparison of properties Aluminium and Titanium alloys shows...
