Inhalation of hydrogen sulphide: a case of subacute manifestations and long term sequelae.

O 18: Autoimmune Dementia

Dementia is defined as significant acquired cognitive impairment in one or more cognitive domains that represents a significant decline from previous baseline and interferes with independence in daily activities. Autoimmune dementia is a term that has been used to describe a steroid-responsive autoimmune disorder characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia with a fluctuating course. Even co...

Increased risk of endometriosis by long term exposure to xenoestrogens: A case control study in Iranian women

Aims of the study: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disorder in young women at reproductiveage but the underlying risk factors have not identified yet in Iran and other neighboringcountries. Persistent exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in particulardioxins, PAHs and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with xenoestrogenic potentials have beenhypothesized in the...

Survivorship of juvenile surf clams Donax serra (Bivalvia, Donacidae) exposed to severe hypoxia and hydrogen sulphide

Toxic ‘‘sulphide eruptions’’ sporadically occur in the highly productive inshore regions of the central Namibian Benguela upwelling system. The surf clam Donax serra (Röding, 1798) dominates the intertidal and upper subtidal of large exposed sandy beaches of southern Africa and its recruitment seems to be affected by sulphide events. The reaction of juvenile surf clams to low oxygen concentrati...

Exposure to hydrogen sulphide and respiratory function.

A study was carried out to assess possible effects of low concentrations of hydrogen sulphide on respiratory function. The cohort comprised 26 male pulp mill workers (mean age 40.3, range 22-60 years) with a daily exposure to hydrogen sulphide in the workplace, and 10 volunteers, who had asthma (three men, mean age 40.7, range 33 to 50 years, and seven women, mean age 44.1, range 31 to 61 years...
