Mucous membrane inflammation

It can be assumed that almost any material that is poisonous to insects is poisonous to man, the main variables being the dose and relative susceptibilities of the species. The agricultural chemicals, like other chemicals, reach the body by inhalation, ingestion, and contact with the skin and mucous membranes. They may cause acute and chronic diseases which vary from superficial skin and mucous membrane inflammations to serious and sometimes fatal systemic conditions.

Abdominal radiography showed multiple diffuse calcium-like deposits throughout the digestive tract, especially in the rectosigmoid region. Sigmoidoscopy showed diverticular disease, with mucous membrane inflammation and off-white foreign bodies on the bowel wall, which were found to be lanthanum carbonate tablet residues. Her confusion resolved after withdrawal of lanthanum, and plasma lanthanum concentrations fell at the same time from 2.13 pg/1 on the day after withdrawal to 1.05 pg/1 on day 4 and 0.25 pg/l on day 7. 

Preparations of calendula flowers are used externally to treat dermal and mucous membrane inflammations, hard-to-heal wounds, leg ulcers, dermatitis, mild bums, and sunburn internally for inflammatory lesions of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa also used as an immunostimulant in treating skin inflammations and herpes zoster infections (escop 3 wichtl). ... 

Has been associated with mucous membrane inflammations, venereal discharges, meningitis, and bacterial endocarditis. 

Hydrogen chloride in air is an irritant, severely affecting the eye and the respiratory tract. The inflammation of the upper respiratory tract can cause edema and spasm of the larynx. The vapor in the air, normally absorbed by the upper respiratory mucous membranes, is lethal at concentrations of over 0.1% in air, when exposed for a few minutes. HCl is detectable by odor at 1—5 ppm level and becomes objectionable at 5—10 ppm. The maximum concentration that can be tolerated for an hour is about 0.01% which, even at these levels, causes severe throat irritation. The maximum allowable concentration under normal working conditions has been set at 5 ppm. 

The primary routes of entry for animal exposure to chromium compounds are inhalation, ingestion, and, for hexavalent compounds, skin penetration. This last route is more important in industrial exposures. Most hexavalent chromium compounds are readily absorbed, are more soluble than trivalent chromium in the pH range 5 to 7, and react with cell membranes. Although hexavalent compounds are more toxic than those of Cr(III), an overexposure to compounds of either oxidation state may lead to inflammation and irritation of the eyes, skin, and the mucous membranes associated with the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Skin ulcers and perforations of nasal septa have been observed in some industrial workers after prolonged exposure to certain hexavalent chromium compounds (108—110), ie, to chromic acid mist or sodium and potassium dichromate. 

The effects of dmgs and adjuvants must be assessed, both in short-term administration and during chronic treatment. Local effects include changes in mucocihary clearance, cell damage, and irritation. Chronic erosion of the mucous membrane may lead to inflammation, hyperplasia, metaplasia, and deterioration of normal nasal function (76). 

A non-corrosive substance which, through immediate, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, can cause inflammation. 

The so-called El-emission class describes a wood panel presenting formaldehyde emission which is low enough to prevent any danger, irritation or inflammation of the eyes, nose and mouth mucous membranes. However, it is important that not only the boards themselves, but also the veneering and carpenter s adhesive resins, laquers, varnishes and other sources of formaldehyde are under control, since they also might contribute to the mixture steady state formaldehyde concentration [9]. Table 3 gives an overview on some European regulations. However, it is necessary here to introduce the principal types of composite wood products, especially panels, that are produced in this industry ... 

Allergic Rhinitis inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nose that is caused by an allergic reaction. 

These elements produce nasty burns that are slow to heal. The mucous membranes are attacked especially, and chlorine poisoning" is really a lung inflammation. Under no circumstances should inexperienced people handle these substances without close guidance. 

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).

Mucositis Inflammation of mucous membranes, typically within the oral and esophageal mucosa. Mucositis is usually associated with certain chemotherapy agents and radiation therapy involving mucosal areas. 

Rhinitis medicamentosa Inflammation of nasal mucous membranes due to excessive use of topical medication. 

Headache, tachypnea, dizziness, confusion, and chest pain. The casualty may also experience palpitations, dyspnea on exertion, drowsiness, lethargy, hallucination, agitation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and coma. If metal carbonyls have been released, there may be complaints of irritation of the eyes, mucous membrane, and respiratory system. Inflammation of lung tissue (pneumonitis) caused by metal carbonyls can may be delayed 12-36 hours. They may also cause injury to the liver, kidneys, and lungs as well as degenerative changes in the central nervous system. 

Allergic rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane caused by exposure to inhaled allergenic materials that elicit a specific immunologic response mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). There are two types ...

Vapors from the solvents or actual contact can also cause irritation of the eyes and the lining, or mucous membrane, of the nose and throat. If the vapors penetrate further into the respiratory passages, these too will become irritated and cause an irritation of the back of the throat (pharyngitis), or worse still, inflammation of the bronchi (breathing tubes) in the condition of bronchitis, which we have already seen occurring with the irritant gases. 

Since even low overdoses cause severe inflammation of the mucous membranes of both the small intestine and the colon, the past medicinal importance of the Convolvulaceous resin glycosides as purgative herbal drugs has now been supplanted by the introduction of alternative phytopharmaceuticals with less severe...
