1,2-, 1,3and 1,4-Dichlorobenzene (DCB) have been identified in at least 281, 175, and 330, respectively, of the 1,662 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL), respectively (HazDat 2005). However, the number of sites evaluated for these DCB isomers is not known. The frequency of these sites can be seen in Figures 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3. Of...

The genotoxicity of p-dichlorobenzene (DCB) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) was evaluated in primary cultures of rat and human hepatocytes. DNA fragmentation was measured by the alkaline elution technique and clastogenic activity by the increase in micronucleus formation. In rat hepatocytes, exposure to concentrations of DCB ranging from 0.56 to 3.2 mM and of HCB from 0.1 to 0.56 mM did not induce ...

In industrialized countries, people spend more time indoors and are therefore increasingly exposed to volatile organic compounds that are emitted at working places and from consumer products, paintings, and furniture, with chlorobenzene (CB) and 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) being representatives of the halogenated arenes. To unravel the molecular effects of low concentrations typical for indoor an...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the clinical and economic impact of drug-eluting endovascular treatment strategies for femoropopliteal artery disease compared with current standard of care. DESIGN Systematic literature search to pool target lesion revascularisations (TLR). Model-based per-patient cost impact and quasi-cost-effectiveness projection over 24 months based on pooled TLRs and current reimbu...

BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of the drug-coated balloon (DCB) procedure in high-risk patients with femoropopliteal (FP) disease have not been investigated sufficiently. METHODS This retrospective, single-center study analyzed 87 patients (39% dialysis) and 97 affected legs (64% critical limb ischemia [CLI]) that underwent DCB for symptomatic FP disease from March 2013 to September 2014. Risk ...

BackgroundCommon femoral artery (CFA) disease is often heavily calcified and prone to low patency rates with endovascular treatment compared surgical endarterectomy. Recent data suggest promising short-term outcomes the adjunct use of intravascular lithotripsy; however, on its midterm effectiveness are lacking. We clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) between patients recei...

Malignant glioma cells maintain an elevated intracellular pH (pH(i)) within hypoxic-ischemic tumor microenvironments through persistent activation of sodium-proton transport (McLean et al., 2000). Amiloride has been reported to selectively kill human malignant glioma cell lines but not primary astrocytes (Hegde et al., 2004). While amiloride reduces pH(i) of malignant gliomas by inhibiting isof...

OBJECTIVE The study sought to compare angiographic and clinical outcomes of new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) versus drug-coated balloon (DCB) in patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). DESIGN Meta-analysis using data from randomised trial found by searches on PubMed, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and websites of major cardiovascular congresses. SETTING Only rand...
