Circulatory disorders

People who should not work with organophosphate insecticides are those with organic central nervous system disease, mental disorders, epilepsy, pronounced endocrine disorders, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular diseases, circulatory disorders, gastroenteric diseases, liver or kidney disease, and chronic conjunctivitis and keratitis (Medved and Kagan 1983).

Using isosorbide 5-nitrate (11) as part of such special amino-substituted novel / -blocker structures, compounds 160 were claimed to be useful for treatment of heart and circulatory disorders.224 In contrast to the foregoing... 

Lasix is very strong and was reported to cause diarrhea, dehydration, dizziness, muscle cramps, circulatory disorders, vomiting, circulatory collapse, fainting, and cardiac arrest. It was considered far more safe to start with 20-mg and repeat every 4 hours than to use higher dosages for a shorter period of tome. Over 40-mg per dosage increased side effects dramatically ... 

Prickly ash is reputed to possess circulatory-stimulant, diaphoretic, antirheumatic, carminative, and sialagogue properties. Traditionally, it is used for cramps, intermittent claudication, Raynaud s syndrome, chronic rheumatic conditions, and specifically for peripheral circulatory insufficiency associated with rheumatic symptoms. The berries are therapeutically more active in circulatory disorders. 

White Phosphorus. Studies have shown that pregnant rats are more susceptible than nonpregnant female and male rats to the lethal effects of white phosphorus during late gestation or parturition. It is not known if pregnant women would also represent an unusually susceptible population. Human exposure to white phosphorus has shown that the liver, kidney, and cardiovascular systems are some of the primary targets of toxicity. Individuals with pre-existing liver, kidney, heart, or circulatory disorders may be unusually susceptible to white phosphorus toxicity. 

In medicine, bromelain is effective in die treatment of inflammation and edema is a wide variety of tissues [2,4-7,103.1081. to cure digestive disorders by means of replacement therapy [109], and in cardiovascular and circulatory disorders [95], and it may be important in protecting die small intestine from... 

In conclusion, intrarenal topical circulatory disorder or vascular spasm may develop in patients with renal hypouricemia, leading to acute renal failure. 

Most interest has centred on cardiovascular disease and there appears to be strong evidence for a role of endothelin in a number of circulatory disorders. Of the non-cardiovascular indications, asthma may offer the greatest potential.

Encephalopathy can occur in a number of extrahepatic diseases, such as toxic, metabolic or circulatory disorders, intracranial space-occupying lesions, hypothyroidism (35) and neurological/psychiatric diseases, (s. tab. 15.2) Identification of neuropsychiatric symptoms always calls for careful differential diagnosis. 

Circulatory disorders In general, acute liver failure is initially accompanied by hyperdynamic circulation. During the further course, approx. 80% of patients develop hypotension, which above all results in a considerable reduction in hepatic, cerebral and renal perfusion. At the same time, peripheral vasodilation is usually witnessed. Bradycardia, generally resulting from cerebral oedema, worsens the cardiovascular conditions and is considered to be a poor prognostic sign. Ultimately, the patient does not respond to volume expansion and catecholamines. 

Exposure to furan produces a narcotic effect. The low boiling point requires that adequate ventilation be provided in areas where furan is handled. Liquid furan can be absorbed by the skin. People with circulatory disorders, abnormal liver conditions, or chronic gastrointestinal complaints should not work with furan. Symptoms of furan exposure include fatigue, headache, and gastrointestinal disturbances. 

Arsenic can cause acute and chronic poisoning. Acute arsenic poisoning may cause vomiting, dryness of the mouth and throat, muscle cramps, colicky abdominal pain, tingling of the hands and feet, circulatory disorders, and nervous weakness. Cold and clammy skin, hallucinations, delirium, and diarrhea appear. If death does not occur within 24 h, irreversible organ disorders oecur. 

Chronic arsenic poisoning involves non-specific symptoms such as chronic weakness, loss of reflexes, weariness, gastritis, colitis, anorexia, weight loss, and hair loss. Long-term exposure through food or air results in hyperkeratosis, hyper pigmentation, cardiovascular diseases, disturbance in the peripheral vascular and nervous systems, circulatory disorders, brittle loose nails with transverse white bands across the nails called Mees lines, eczema, liver and kidney disorders. 

It is additionally known that cerebral apoplexy is a result of a sudden circulatory disorder of a human brain area with subsequent functional losses, with corresponding neurological and/or psychological symptoms. The causes of cerebral apoplexy can lie in cerebral haemorrhages (e.g. after a vascular tear in hypertension, arteriosclerosis and apoplectic aneurysms) and ischaemias (e.g. due to a blood pressure drop crisis or embolism). 

GB is sold as a dietary supplement in the United States. It is purported to improve blood flow to the brain and to improve peripheral circulation. It is promoted mainly to sharpen mental focus in otherwise healthy adults as well as in those with dementia. Other conditions for which it is currently used are diabetes-related circulatory disorders, impotence, and vertigo.
