Mucous membrane disorder

Neutropenia and mucous membrane disorders occur rarely. [Pg.86]

Local skin disorders (minor Burns, insect Bites, prickly heat, skin manifestations ofchick-enpox, aBrasions), and mucous memBrane disorders (local anesthesia of oral, nasal, and laryngeal mucous memBranes local anesthesia of respiratory, urinary tract relief of discomfort of pruritus ani, hemorrhoids, pruritus vulvae) Topical Apply to affected areas as needed. [Pg.697]

The differential diagnosis of OCP varies depending on the stage of the disease. It includes conditions that produce cicatricial changes of the ocular surface, such as chemical trauma, radiation injury, and other mucous membrane disorders. Conjunctival biopsy can aid in the diagnosis. Immunofluorescence study of the tissue demonstrates deposition of immunoreactants at the epithelial basement membrane zone in OCP. [Pg.468]

The principal adverse reaction associated with warfarin is bleeding, which may range from very mild to severe. Bleeding may be seen in many areas of the body, such as the bladder, bowel, stomach, uterus, and mucous membranes. Other adverse reactions are rare but may include nausea, vomiting, alopecia (loss of hair), urticaria (severe skin rash), abdominal cramping, diarrhea, rash, hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), jaundice (yellowish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes), and blood dyscrasias (disorders). [Pg.420]

Sjogren s syndrome An inflammatory disorder of unknown cause that affects the mucous membranes, causing dry mouth, decreased tear production, decreased sense of taste and smell, joint pain, and swollen glands. [Pg.1576]

CMC), a primary immune deficiency presenting as an inability to clear yeasts, mostly Candida albicans, that consequently persist and recur in infections of the skin, nails and mucous membranes [7]. Most CMC patients also develop accompanying endocrine and inflammatory disorders that suggest an underlying deregulation of the inflammatory and immune responses [7]. [Pg.126]

Symptoms of exposure May cause weakness, confusion, depression of central nervous system, dyspnea, weak pulse, and respiratory failure. May irritate eyes and mucous membranes. Contact with skin may cause burns and dermatitis. Chronic effects may include gastrointestinal disorders, nervous disorders, tremor, confusion, skin eruptions, oliguria, jaundice, and liver damage (NIOSH, 1997 Patnaik, 1992). [Pg.804]

Genital candidiasis is a common disorder caused by a yeast, Candida albicans infects the mucous membrane of the vagina. [Pg.449]

Exposure of humans to dichloroacetylene in a variety of settings has caused headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, eye irritation, mucous membrane irritation, and neurological disorders, manifested as paresis and neuralgia in several cranial and cervical nerves. " In some cases the cranial nerve involvement persisted for several days to years. Extreme nausea occurred among individuals exposed to levels as low as 0.5-1.0ppm. In an early report two deaths occurred several days after dichloroacetylene exposure autopsy revealed cerebral edema. [Pg.219]

Papilloma. A benign epithelial neoplasm producing finger-like or verrucous projections from the epithelial surface. Parakeratosis. Persistence of the nuclei of the keratinocytes into the stratum corneum (horny layer) of the skin. Parakeratosis is normal in the epithelium of true mucous membrane of the mouth and vagina. Parkinson s disease. Neurological disorder characterized by hypokinesia, tremor, and muscular rigidity. [Pg.573]

Adverse reactions to iodine (iodism) are uncommon and in most cases reversible upon discontinuance. They include acneiform rash (similar to that of bromism), swollen salivary glands, mucous membrane ulcerations, conjunctivitis, rhinorrhea, drug fever, metallic taste, bleeding disorders and, rarely, anaphylactoid reactions. [Pg.865]

Concerns about neurotoxicity and hematotoxicity have resulted in warnings that lindane should be used with caution in infants, children, and pregnant women. The current USA package insert recommends that it not be used as a scabicide in premature infants and in patients with known seizure disorders. California has prohibited the medical use of lindane following evaluation of its toxicologic profile. The risk of adverse systemic reactions to lindane appears to be minimal when it is used properly and according to directions in adult patients. However, local irritation may occur, and contact with the eyes and mucous membranes should be avoided. [Pg.1293]

N.A. Belamcanda chinensis (L.) DC Belamcandaquinones A and B, isoflavones, tectoridin, iridin, iridals, tectorigenin, irigenin, irisflorentin.318 319 320 Treat throat disorders, stimulate the mucous membrane of the throat. [Pg.253]

Deaths due to ingestion or inhalation of 1,2-dichloroethane have been attributed to circulatory and respiratory failure repeated exposures in the occupational environment have been associated with anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, irritation of the mucous membranes, dysfunction of liver and kidney and neurological disorders (lARC, 1979). [Pg.513]

Some of tlie salts of bismuth are used in medicines for the relief of digestive disorders because of the smooth, protective coating the compounds impart to imtated mucous membranes. Like barium, bismuth also is used as an aid in x-ray diagnostic procedures because of its opacity to x-rays. At one time, certain bismuth compounds were used in the treatment of syphilis. Bismuth oxychloride, which is pcarlcsccnt, has found use in cosmetics, imparting a frosty appearance to nail polish, eye shadow, and lipstick, but may be subject to increasing controls. Bismuth phosphomolybdate has been used as a catalyst in the production of acrylonitrile for use in synthetic fibers and paints. Bismuth oxide and subcarbonate are used as fire retardants for plastics. [Pg.238]

Sulfur mustards (designated H [mustard], HD [distilled mustard], and HT [HD and T mixture]) do not present acute lethal hazards. Their principal effect is severe blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Epidemiological evidence indicates a causal relationship between exposure to mustard agent at high concentrations and the development of chronic nonreversible respiratory disorders, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma, and ocular diseases, such as delayed recurrent keratitis and prolonged, intractable conjunctivitis (IOM, 1993). Sulfur mustard has been classified as a known human carcinogen based on evidence of in-... [Pg.19]

Golden Seal has proved itself to be a very valuable remedy in digestive disorders and in debilitated conditions of mucous membranes. Its use is indicated in various gastric complaints, and it may be taken with advantage by most dyspeptics in doses of 10 grains of the powdered root. [Pg.48]

Irritant to skin, eyes, upper respiratory tract, and mucous membranes. Prolonged exposure may produce gastro intestinal upsets and blood disorders.2... [Pg.46]

Contraindications Dry mouth and mucous membranes, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing, hot dry skin, headache, restless fatigue. Must not be used by persons with cardiovascular disorders or glaucoma. Excessive use may cause brain decomposition. Not recommended. [Pg.20]

Toxicity and health effects Prolonged periods of exposure to acrylamide through inhalation, skin absorption, and or eye contact cause irritation to the mucous membranes, the nose, and the eyes. Exposed workers also suffer from nausea, speech disorders, and weakness of legs and hands. It is a neurotoxin and disturbs the functions of the CNS, resulting in peripheral nerve damage. - ... [Pg.47]
