Trans-Cranial Doppler and Peripheral Sensory Threshold Tests for Carbon Disulfide Poisoning

Trans-Cranial Doppler and Peripheral Sensory Threshold Tests for Carbon Disulfide Poisoning

Trans-Cranial Doppler and Peripheral Sensory Threshold Tests for Carbon Disulfide Poisoning: Eunil LEE, et al. Department of Preventive Medicine, School of Medicine, Korea University— Trans-cranial doppler (TCD) and sensory threshold (vibration, pain and discrimination) tests, which are safe and inexpensive techniques, were applied to detect cerebral vasoreactivity or neuropathic changes betwee...

Brain MRI Findings of Carbon Disulfide Poisoning

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the findings of brain MRI in patients with carbon disulfide poisoning. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-one patients who had suffered carbon disulfide poisoning [male:female=87:4; age, 32-74 (mean 53.3) years] were included in this study. To determine the extent of white matter hyperintensity (Grade 0-V) and lacunar infarction, T2-weighted MR imaging of the brain was perform...

Experimental studies on carbon disulfide poisoning.

Cerebral vasoreactivity by transcranial Doppler in carbon disulfide poisoning cases in Korea.

The abnormalities of cerebral vasoreactivity were evaluated in CS2 poisoning cases. In 34 retired workers with CS2 poisoning (case group) and 20 healthy individuals (control group), blood flow velocities were measured in the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) by transcranial Doppler. Compared with the control group, the case group showed lower mean values of blood flow velocities and pulsatile indi...

Carbon disulfide exposure estimate and prevalence of chronic diseases after carbon disulfide poisoning-related occupational diseases

Background In Korea, Carbon disulfide (CS2) toxicity was an important social problem from the late 1980s to the early 1990s but there have been few large-scale studies examining the prevalence of diseases after CS2 exposure discontinuance. So we investigated past working exposure to CS2 characteristics from surviving ex-workers of a rayon manufacturing plant including cumulative CS2 exposure in...
