Description: A silver metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature. It has the atomic symbol Hg (from hydrargyrum, liquid silver), atomic number 80, and atomic weight 200.59. Mercury is used in many industrial applications and its salts have been employed therapeutically as purgatives, antisyphilitics, disinfectants, and astringents. It can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes which leads to MERCURY POISONING. Because of its toxicity, the clinical use of mercury and mercurials is diminishing.

1.	Poisoning 08/01/1992 - "The presence of both the steroidal skeleton and the thioacetyl group in the same molecule is necessary for the protection against mercury intoxication." 04/01/1980 - "If the development of mercury vapor is hindered, the possibility of mercury intoxication can be almost entirely eliminated. " 05/15/2009 - "The transsulfuration abnormalities observed among study participants indicate that mercury intoxication was associated with increased oxidative stress and decreased detoxification capacity." 05/15/2009 - "The urinary porphyrin and CARS score correlations observed among study participants suggest that mercury intoxication is significantly associated with autistic symptoms. " 01/01/2008 - "The analysis of the functional state of sensoric and motorial components of the peripheral nerves as well as the somatosensoric transferring ways based on the data of the electroneuromyographic studies and the registration of the somatosensoric induced potentials in the persons with the diagnosis of chronic mercury intoxication is given in this paper.

2.	Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) 06/01/2009 - "Use of the American tables identified very high proportions of hypertensive subjects if compared with the distribution curves from our own study (p less than 0.00001), albeit that our findings correlated well with previous Italian charts as reference (no statistical significance).In short, notwithstanding a little difference in millimetres of mercury about the same percentiles, the tables prepared in the United States of America overestimate the prevalence of hypertension, specific Italian material being more suitable for our needs. " 06/01/2009 - "An ESH protocol validated wrist device was compared with the upper arm mercury sphygmomanometry in a study population (33 patients, 99 measurements) including a relevant number of subjects with pulse pressure >50 mm Hg (84.8%) and isolated systolic hypertension (27.3%). " 05/26/2007 - "CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests an association between long-term exposure to inorganic mercury in workers of mercury mines and an increased risk of circulatory mortality, especially mortality due to hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases." 12/01/2006 - "Participants in a hypertension treatment trial before initiation of therapy were included in post-hoc analyses to investigate the alerting response separately for trained nurse blood pressure measurements with mercury sphygmomanometer and measurements taken by an Omron 705 CP automated device. " 02/01/2001 - "We obtained blood pressure (BP) records by taking the mean of the second and third BP measurement, using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer, and assessed risk factors for hypertension in the study subjects.

3.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 07/01/1990 - "Epicutaneous test for mercury allergy showed that a significantly greater proportion of the patients in group 1 had positive reactions to mercury than in group 2 (p = 0.019). " 03/01/2003 - "STUDY DESIGN: Eighty-one patients with oral lichenoid lesions were characterized clinically and skin patch tested for amalgam or mercury hypersensitivity. " 03/01/1996 - "In this study we examined the prevalence of mercury hypersensitivity in patients with oral lichenoid reactions (OLR) and the effect of amalgam replacement in subjects with amalgams adjacent to OLR irrespective of their mercury sensitivity status. " 05/01/1990 - "Patch testing to mercury and mercuric compounds in both the study and control groups showed no evidence of cutaneous hypersensitivity to mercury. " 10/11/2008 - "True allergy to mercury is rare but is more common in females. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 01/01/1980 - "The kinetics of blood deposition and clearance of methylmercury were measured in volunteers given a single meal of fish containing 18 to 22 microgram mercury/kg body weight. " 04/01/2007 - "The mean and median hair mercury levels for the subjects under study were found to be lower than the value of 1 microg/g, corresponding to the reference dose of 0.1 microg of methylmercury per kilogram body weight set by the U.S. " 03/01/2001 - "Total daily mercury consumption per kilogram body weight per day was calculated for each person included in the study. " 08/01/1998 - "Our study of individuals who have been eating mercury contaminated fish steadily for many years suggests that a daily mercury intake of only 0.3 to 0.7 mg/kg body weight may be sufficient to inhibit spermatogenesis in some Hong Kong males. " 11/01/1995 - "The arithmetic mean of the total mercury concentration in hair was 1.81 mg/kg of body weight for the study group (standard deviation [SD] 1.52) and 0.42 mg/kg for the control group (SD 0.15)--a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01).

5.	Acute Kidney Failure (Acute Renal Failure) 09/01/2002 - "This study was undertaken to determine if Juglans sinensis Dode, an oriental medicinal herb, extract (JSE) and antioxidant exert beneficial effect against mercury-induced acute renal failure in rabbits. " 05/01/1994 - "The present study was designed to assess the effects of mercury on glomerular integrity during the early phase of acute renal failure. " 06/01/2005 - "Mercury produces acute renal failure in experimental animal models, but the mechanism of tubular injury has not completely been clarified. " 06/01/2003 - "He rapidly developed acute renal failure and so he was started on CVVHDF for renal support and in an attempt to improve mercury clearance; CVVHDF was continued for 14 days. " 09/01/2002 - "These results indicate that JSE exerts the beneficial effect against mercury chloride-induced acute renal failure and its effect may be due to antioxidant action.
