Visual problems

Ocular Effects. Visual problems have been noted in some human studies. These are mostly anecdotal in nature and not well documented. [Pg.288]

Soil injection of farm slurries and sewage sludges eliminates the odour and visual problem associated with surface spreading, it can control surface run-off and help prevent watercourse pollution. It can avoid crop taint and pathogen transfer on pastures and can provide soil loosening with better nutrient management. [Pg.222]

Visual impairment Carefully monitor visual problems. If visual difficulties occur, discontinue the drug and have an ophthalmological examination. [Pg.2035]

Bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus) Uses Prevent/treat visual problems such as cataract, retinopathy, myopia, glaucoma, macular degeuCTation treat vascular problems such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins Actions Contains anthocyanidin that X vascular permeability, inhibit pit aggregation thrombus formation, t antioxidant effects on LDLs liver, t regeneration of rhodopsin... [Pg.324]

The activity of vitamin A is related to vision process, tissue differentiation, growth, reproduction, and the immune system. A deficiency of this micronutrient mainly leads to visual problems, impaired immune function, and growth retardation in children. Hypervitaminosis could lead to hepatotoxicity, affect bone metabolism, disrupt lipid metabolism, and teratogenicity [417]. The isomerization of P-carotene, due to technological processes in foods, leads to a reduction of the vitamin A activity it is therefore important to analyze it. [Pg.608]

Notify the physician immediately of any visual problems effects are generally reversible after ethambutol is discontinued, but in rare cases they may take up to a year to resolve or may become permanent... [Pg.473]

Overdose includes symptoms of altered mental status and visual problems. [Pg.1201]

We may snicker at these delicacies and the health claims that go with them, but the fact is that food was probably humankind s first medicine. After all, when our primitive ancestors felt sick, what else could they do but manipulate their diets In some cases they hit upon remedies that worked. The Egyptians prescribed extract of pomegranate for intestinal worms and roasted liver of ox for night blindness. Pomegranates actually contain a vermifuge, and the high vitamin A content of liver could have countered visual problems caused by a deficiency of the vitamin. [Pg.96]

The article features a two-stage evaporative cooling system with cooling tower and dry basin for freezing weather tower operation. Design conditions and visual problems are discussed together with cooling tower enclosure, structural and vibration considerations. [Pg.303]

Enzymes have also been developed to reduce or eliminate problems associated with hesperidin s insolubility. Since hes-peridin problems are visual problems, enzymes have been used to convert the insoluble hesperidin to the more soluble glycoside. The addition of these enzymes has greatly reduced the turbidity in canned mandarin sections due to hesperidin crystal formation during storage (80). [Pg.105]

Toxicity Any acute exposure to vapors of 1,1,1-trichloroethane leads to irritation of the nose, throat, and eyes, and results in headaches. Exposure to high concentrations or vapors of 1,1,1-trichloroethane is known to cause damage to the CNS, leading to behavioral disorders, dizzy spells, sleepiness, and, in some cases, coma reversible injuries to the liver and kidneys also have been observed. Overexposure of 1,1,1-trichloroethane in occupational/work environments causes headache, CNS depression, irritation to eyes, dermatitis, and cardiac arrhythmias. Effects of repeated or long-term exposure to the solvent causes visual problems, loss of coordination, reduction of the tactile sensitivity of the skin, trembling, giddiness, anxiety, and slowing of the pulse rate. [Pg.233]

Burning skin, eye pain, cough, CNS disturbance, and teratogenesis Narcosis, liver and kidney damage, and eye and respiratory irritation Abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, neuropathy, visual problems, muscle weakness, and ataxia Cancer... [Pg.426]

Ibuprofen comes in tablet and liquid forms that range from 50 to 200 mg per dose. Tablets with doses up to 800 mg of ibuprofen are available with a doctor s prescription. The recommended dosage for adults is approximately 1,200 mg per day, but a doctor can suggest that the patient take up to 3,200 mg per day. Ibuprofen is generally well tolerated, but some people can have side effects such as stomach pains, skin rash, vomiting, black or darkened stools, visual problems, or swelling of the hands and feet. Like aspirin and acetaminophen, ibuprofen takes about 30 minutes to start to relieve pain and lasts approximately 4 to 6 hours. [Pg.33]

For any type of application the staining procedure should be carefully designed in connection with the visualization problem [55,181]. Overstaining saturates the images, the background fluoresces and debris are also stained. On the contrary, when the concentration is too low, cells cannot be detected out of the background noise. [Pg.174]

Twenty flve years later, victims of the disaster still occupy the hospital beds and clinics and visit private practitioners of all branches of medicine complaining of vague to speciflc symptoms. In general, however, it is difficult to relate many of the symptoms, such as weakness, loss of appetite, and menstrual problems, to exposure to MIC. However, many subjects continue to suffer from pulmonary and visual problems. [Pg.305]

In most patients lens changes accompanying steroid therapy do not significantly impair visual acuity. In fewer than 10% of patients receiving long-term therapy is vision reduced to less than 20/60 (6/18). Patients seldom complain of visual problems unless the practitioner makes a direct inquiry. Photophobia and glare may be complaints. Once vision is affected, reduction or cessation of steroid therapy seldom resolves the opacity, but it does halt its progression in some cases the area of opacity decreases. [Pg.230]

Multiple Sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelids disseminata) a chronic, inflammatory, demyelinadng disease that affects the cend al nervous system (CNS). MS can cause a variety of symptoms, including changes in sensadon, visual problems, muscle weakness, depression, difficuldes with coordinadon and speech, severe fadgue, cognidve impairment, problems with balance, overheadng, and pain. [Pg.782]

The commonest adverse effects of mexiletine are on the nervous system, and include centrally mediated gastrointestinal distress (38%), light-headedness (20%), tremor (12%), and coordination difficulties (11%). The figures in parentheses are quoted from a study in which mexiletine was compared with quinidine (26). Other reported adverse effects include changes in sleep habit, weakness, headache, visual problems, and nervousness. Slurred speech, dysarthria, diplopia, and ataxia have also been reported (18). [Pg.2330]

At high doses, methanol can cause reversible or permanent blindness, and in severe cases, death. Visual problems include eye pain, blurred vision, constriction of visual field, and possibly permanent blindness, which can develop in as little as 48 h. The lethal dose of methanol in untreated individuals is estimated to be in the range of 0.8-1.5mgkg which translates into 56-100 g, or 70-130 ml of 100% methanol, for the average individual (70 kg). [Pg.1639]
