Depressed lesion

Fig. 2. 13a,b. Early Gastric Cancer. Double Contrast barium study (a) shows slight distortion of normal mucosal folds on the posterior wall of the antrum of the stomach. Endoscopy (b) demonstrates the non-depressed lesion, with distortion of the normal gastric mucosal pattern. Histopathology confirmed early gastric cancer...

While all species lost body weight following treatment with 2,3,7,8-TCDD, other signs of toxicity were species dependent. Ascites was seen in mice. Anorexia, dehydration, depression, emaciation, intestinal hemorrhage, and alopecia were seen in dogs. Certain rabbits treated intra-peritoneally with 2,3,7,8-TCDD developed skin lesions typical of those associated with acnegens. 

All the jellyfish venoms are toxic but also stimulate the cell mediated and humoral immunological systems of man. After injection of large doses of jellyfish venom into human skin, a perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration appears within the dermis. This infiltration is composed predominantly of helper inducer cells which produce suppressor activity. It appears that the NK enhancement of human leukocytes in patients envenomated by Chrysaora quinquecirrha is depressed when the clinical lesion is inflammatory (10). Recovery from this suppression follows the amelioration of the acute cutaneous reaction. In other instances, envenomated patients have abnormal macrophage migration tests (11). 

Immunological abnormalities were reported in 23 adults in Woburn, Massachusetts, who were exposed to contaminated well water and who were family members of children with leukemia (Byers et al. 1988). These immunological abnormalities, tested for 5 years after well closure, included persistent lymphocytosis, increased numbers of T-lymphocytes, and depressed helper suppressor T-cell ratio. Auto-antibodies, particularly anti-nuclear antibodies, were detected in 11 of 23 adults tested. This study is limited by the possible bias in identifying risk factors for immunological abnormalities in a small, nonpopulation-based group identified by leukemia types. Other limitations of this study are described in Section 2.2.2.8. A study of 356 residents of Tucson, Arizona, who were exposed to trichloroethylene (6-500 ppb) and other chemicals in well water drawn from the Santa Cmz aquifer found increased frequencies of 10 systemic lupus erythematosus symptoms, 5 (arthritis, Raynaud s phenomenon, malar rash, skin lesions related to sun exposure, seizure or convulsions) of which were statistically significant (Kilbum and Warshaw 1992). 

Extensive brain damage or lesions are certainly not essential for convulsions. These merely require appropriate conditions. Everyone is capable of having a convulsion, indeed their induction has been a common treatment for depression. The convulsive threshold of an epileptic, or more precisely that of some of their neurons, is just lower than normal. 

Signs and Symptoms Initial symptoms include fever, watery eyes, increased nasal secretions, drooling (ptyalism), diarrhea, loss of appetite, reduced milk production, depression, and reluctance to move. This is followed by the eruption of various sized skin nodules that may cover the whole body. They can be found on any part of the body but are most numerous on the head and neck, perineum, genitalia and udder, and the limbs. The nodules are painful and involve all layers of the skin. Skin lesions may show scab formation. Regional lymph nodes are enlarged and full of fluid. Secondary bacterial infection can complicate healing and recovery. Final resolution of lesions may take 2-6 months, and nodules can remain visible 1-2 years. 

Signs and Symptoms Fever, anorexia, depression, and discharge from the eyes and nose. Pinpoint necrotic lesions appear on the inside of the mouth that rapidly form a cheesy plaque. Further symptoms include severe abdominal pain, thirst, difficulty breathing (dyspnea), and watery diarrhea containing blood, mucus, and mucous membranes. Recovery is prolonged and may be complicated by concurrent infections due to immunosuppression. 

Signs and Symptoms Produces flu-like symptoms including headache, fever, eye pain, a vague feeling of bodily discomfort (malaise), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat as well as pain in the limbs and back. Blisters and/or lesions resembling herpes virus may appear in the mouth, throat, and occasionally on the hands. Illness may produce a prolonged mental depression. 

Adverse effects of copper deficiency can be documented in terrestrial plants and invertebrates, poultry, small laboratory animals, livestock — especially ruminants — and humans. Data are scarce or missing on copper deficiency effects in aquatic plants and animals and in avian and mammalian wildlife. Copper deficiency in sheep, the most sensitive ruminant mammal, is associated with depressed growth, bone disorders, depigmentation of hair or wool, abnormal wool growth, fetal death and resorption, depressed estrous, heart failure, cardiovascular defects, gastrointestinal disturbances, swayback, pathologic lesions, and degeneration of the motor tracts of the spinal cord (NAS 1977). 

It was shown that the first biochemical lesion in the nervous system after OP treatment is significantly depressing of NE in nervous tissue. 

Signs and Symptoms Clinical manifestations begin acutely with malaise, fever, rigors, vomiting, headache, and backache. Two to three days later lesions appear which quickly progress from macules (a small, discolored patch or spot on the skin, neither elevated above nor depressed below the skin s surface) to papules (a small, circumscribed, solid elevation on the skin), and eventually to pustular vesicles. They are more abundant on the extremities and face, and develop synchronously. 

However, the use of CAP was soon restricted after its association with bone marrow depression and aplastic anemia. The underlying biochemical lesion is still obscure, and adequate animal models are lacking. Since thiamphenicol, a CAP analogue where the nitro function has been replaced by a MeSC>2 -group, has never been associated with aplastic anemia, Yunis and coworkers suggested that the p-n il.ro group of CAP may be involved in the development of aplastic anemia129,130.
