ABSTRACT A 14-month-old female Texel sheep that came from a herd made up of 19 animals showed haemoglobinuria, apathy, and anorexia, died two days after the start clinical signals. The remained in natural grassland, where trailers were repaired, multiple copper wires deposited on pasture. animal had tachycardia, tachypnoea, pale mucous membranes, groaning pain abdominal palpation, circling, hea...

Primary chronic forms of copper poisoning have been reported to occur in goats around the copper industries in Kerman province. The survey was carried out from autumn 2015 to the end of summer 2016, in Kerman province, Iran. Based on clinical signs, confirmed by necropsy and copper concentration of serum and different tissues, ten live chronic copper poisoned (CCP) goats were used in the study ...

Key words: copper sulfate poisoning; acute renal failure crit 9.4%, platelet count 94 000/cm3 and CPK was 2528 U/l. GG received intravenous fluids and was transfused with 3 U of PRBC and 3 U of FFP. He was also given penacillamine 40 mg/kg and dimercaprol 5 mg/kg i.m.

Pathogenesis of liver injury in chronic copper poisoning of sheep was investigated using two experiments. Test sheep were dosed orally with a 0.2 % solution of CuSO4.5H2O at the rate of 10 ml/Kg body weight on five days of the week, until first day of the haemolytic crisis (HC). Liver samples were taken during the prehaemolytic period and on the first or second day of the HC, liver changes were...

Severe poisoning resulting from single ingestions of rodenticides, herbicides, or insecticides containing arsenic have been frequently recognized. We record three cases of solubilized arsenic trioxide poisoning in Navajo Indian children and one case of sodium arsenate ingestion in an infant. One fatality occurred during dimercaprol therapy prior to initiation of therapy with D-penicillamine. Th...

Metal membranes play a vital role in hydrogen purification. Defect-free membranes can exhibit effectively infinite selectivity but must also provide high fluxes, resistance to poisoning, long operational lifetimes, and low cost. Alloying offers one route to improve on membranes based on pure metals such as palladium. We show how ab initio calculations and coarse-grained modeling can accurately ...

It is a pleasure and an honor to contribute a paper to a special issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition honoring Stanley Wallach and Pearl Small. In this brief review I advance the hypothesis that copper toxicity is the major cause of the epidemic of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease engulfing our aging population. This epidemic is recent, exploding in the las...
