Sensitization rates

In clinical chemistry and medical diagnostics the true positive rate is called sensitivity rate and the true negative rate specificity rate (O Rangers and Condon [2000]) without any relation to the general definition of the terms sensitivity and specificity and their use in analytical chemistry (see Sects. 7.2 and 7.3). 

Certain strains of inbred guinea-pigs can be sensitized to mercuric chloride, and the ability to become sensitized appeared to be transmitted as a dominant characteristic which was not sex-linked [210-212]. By the guinea-pig maximisation test and using a mercuric chloride concentration of 0.1%, a sensitization rate of 8/25 was found and mercuric chloride was graded as a moderate sensitizer [213],...

Comparisons of sensitization rates to various basidiomycetes, and between basidiomycetes and other groups of fungi have been made in the frame of skin test surveys [20-22]. In a multicenter study in Europe and the USA, it was shown that sensitization to basidiomycetes was as prevalent as sensitization to other well-established allergenic molds, such as Altemaria, Cladosporium, Aspergillus and Fusarium [21]. Generally, 25-30% of subjects with respiratory... 

Benzene carrier flow all reactions were quite surface sensitive rate coefficients were based on the amount of hydroperoxide decomposed. 

In the multicenter study of the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology, sensitization rates of preservatives in the standard series were all over 1% in the test population of 11485 patients. Thiomersal was rating highest (5.3%), chloromethyl-isothiazolinone/methyi-sothiazolinone, formaldehyde, and methyl-dibromo-glutaronitrile/phenoxyethanol were next at about 2%, and parabens rating lowest at 1.6%. Glutaral, a biocide...

Hexamidine (0.15% petrolatum) (SEDA-10, 128) has rarely been reported to cause a contact allergic reaction (3,4). Of 1554 patients tested with polyhexamethylenebi-guanide 2.5% in aqua, 6 (0.4%) had a positive reaction, indicating a very low sensitization rate (5). 

Spectinomycin continued to be effective in the treatment of resistant strains of N. gonorrheaesi including the new g-lactamase producing strains.52 In cell-free systems, it inhibited peptide chain initiation.53 It had a very low sensitization rate in guinea pigs.5 t The biosynthesis of spectinomycin from (6-13C)glucose was reported.55... 

Diasting cap. When possible, a 2og (1 Oz.) booster charge should be used. This does not mean that you can ignore the "very high" impact sensitivity rating handle this explosive with great care. 

The program gives a sensitivity rating of high, medium, or low for each of four correlations, and then it gives one overall rating for the compound or mixture.
