  • The Combined Effect of Sulfanilamide and Penicillin in Treatment Of
    THE COMBINED EFFECT OF STJLFANILAMIDE AND PENICILLIN IN TREATMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL ERYSIPELOTHRIX RHUSIOPATHIAE INFECTION OF MICE* JOSEPH V. KLAUDER, M.D. AND ANNA M. RULE In a previous communication (1) we reported the results of determinations oi the therapeutic effect of sulfonamide compounds in mice inoculated with Er- ysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. A report was also made of the ineffective use of these compounds in treatment of patients with erysipeloid of Rosenbach and in treatment of one patient with the septicemic form of the infection (2). In our experimental study sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole and sul- fadiazine were separately administered to mice orally in doses of 0.2 Gm. per kilogram of body weight. To some the compounds were administered twice daily for two days before inoculation with a virulent strain of Erysipelothrix rhu- siopathiae and twice daily thereafter for six additional days. For others treat- ment was begun four hours after inoculation and then administered twice daily for six additional days; in still others, for eight additional days. It was observed that 12.5 per cent of mice treated before or after the admin- istration of these compounds survived. Additional evidence of some therapeutic effect was the greater percentage (50 per cent) of survival of the animals treated before inoculation and the longer time of survival of animals treated after inocu- lation compared with those of the untreated control group. The therapeutic effect of these compounds is therefore limited. Sulfanilamide and sulfapyridine appeared to give better results than sulfathiazole and sulfadiazine. The thera- peutic effect of these compounds was slightly enhanced when they were employed in conjunction with subcurative injections of immune serum.

ZINC iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Zinc, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2003. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology/Toxicology Information Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 ZINC vi *Legislative Background The toxicological profiles are developed in response to the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 (Public law 99-499) which amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund). This public law directed ATSDR to prepare toxicological profiles for hazardous substances most commonly found at facilities on the CERCLA National Priorities List and that pose the most significant potential threat to human health, as determined by ATSDR and the EPA. The availability of the revised priority list of 275 hazardous substances was announced in the Federal Register on November 17, 1997 (62 FR 61332). For prior versions of the list of substances, see Federal Register notices dated April 29, 1996 (61 FR 18744); April 17, 1987 (52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41280); October 26, 1989 (54 FR 43619); October 17, 1990 (55 FR 42067); October 17, 1991 (56 FR 52166); October 28, 1992 (57 FR 48801); and February 28, 1994 (59 FR 9486).

    NIOSH RESEARCH AND DEMONSTRATION GRANTS FISCAL YEAR 1993 NICl5M U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Atlanta, Georgia 30333 August 1994 DISCLAIMER Mention of company names or products does not constitute endorsement by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. DliHS(NIOSH} Publication No. 94-131 ii FOREWORD The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is mandated by the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Amendments Act of 1977 to conduct research and demonstrations relating to occupational safety and health. Our overall goal is the prevention of illnesses, injuries, and deaths. Recognizing the valuable contributions of extramural scientists to this endeavor, NIOSH sponsors outstanding research through a grants program, which complements the lnstitute's intramural research program. The creativity and special resources available in the scientific community make the grants program a key component in achieving the Nation's goal to have safe jobs and healthy workers. We anticipate an expanded extramural research program in the coming years. To maximize the grants program's usefulness in protecting workers, NIOSH funds projects that are scientifically sound and related to program priorities. We are interested in funding grants that will ultimately be of practical value in solving workplace problems. This report provides a readily available source of information on the status and scope of the research grants program of NIOSH (all active grants during fiscal year 1993: October 1, 1992, to September 30, 1993).

  • Metal Fume Fever
    Safety and Health Fact Sheet No. 25 January 2002 2002 American Welding Society Zn ZnO METAL FUME FEVER OVERVIEW encounter these symptoms, contact a Metal Fume Fever is the name for an illness physician and have a medical examination / that is caused primarily by exposure to zinc evaluation. There is no information in the oxide fume (ZnO) in the workplace. The main literature regarding the effects of long–term cause of this exposure is usually breathing exposure to zinc oxide fumes. the fumes from welding, cutting, or brazing on galvanized metal. Metal Fume Fever is an PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL) acute allergic condition experienced by The current OSHA standard for zinc oxide many welders during their occupational fume is 5 milligrams of zinc oxide fume per lifetimes. Studies indicate that the most cubic meter of air (mg/m3 ) averaged over an common cause of metal fume fever is eight–hour work shift. NIOSH recommends overexposure to zinc fumes from welding, that the permissible exposure limit be burning, or brazing galvanized steel. Since changed to 5 mg/m3 averaged over a work galvanized steel is more and more common shift of up to 10 hours per day, 40 hours per in industry, the chances of welders having to week, with a Short–Term Exposure Limit work on it are occurring more frequently all (STEL) of 10 mg/m3 averaged over a the time.
