Factors influencing susceptibility to metals.
Although the long-neglected field of human susceptibility to environmental toxicants is currently receiving renewed attention, there is only scant literature on factors influencing susceptibility to heavy metals. Genetic factors may influence the availability of sulfhydryl-containing compounds such as glutathione and metallothionein, which modify the distribution and toxicity of certain metals....
متن کاملFactors influencing susceptibility to infections
Although infections are a major concern in patients with primary systemic vasculitis, actual knowledge about risk factors and evidence concerning the use of anti-infective prophylaxis from clinical trials are scarce. The use of high dose glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide pose a definite risk for infections. Bacterial infections are among the most frequent causes of death, with Staphylococcus...
متن کاملFactors influencing susceptibility of Nocardia species to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
Demonstration of synergism between trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole against 10 Nocardia isolates was found to be critically dependent upon the isolate, the duration of incubation, and the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole ratio. Inoculum effect was not significant. The trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole ratio in the commercial, fixed-dose combination was found to contain too little trimethoprim to be o...
متن کامل[Factors influencing the susceptibility of mice to Mycoplasma arthritidis].
Concentrated broth constituents markedly enhanced the development of abscesses after subcutaneous injection of Mycoplasma arthritidis. Under appropriate conditions, both virulent and avirulent strains of M. arthritidis produced toxic effects in mice, as detected by the development of necrotic abscesses and death of the animals. The treatment of mice at birth with M. arthritidis antigens rendere...
متن کاملFactors influencing metabolism and toxicity of metals: a consensus report.
A series of meetings concerning metal toxicology have been organized by the Scientific Committee on the Toxicology of Metals under the Permanent Commission and International Association on Occupational Health. Accumulation of toxic metals with special reference to their absorption, excretion, and biological half-times was discussed in Slanchev Bryag, Bulgaria, 1971, and in Buenos Aires, 1972. D...
