Herbicides

06/01/2012 - "Frogs exposed to Bd shed their skin significantly more frequently than Bd-unexposed frogs, which may have helped them resist or clear infection, and could explain why no interaction between the herbicides and Bd was detected. "
03/01/2013 - "Herbicides in the environment alter infection dynamics in a microbial host-parasite system."
06/01/2012 - "The results suggest that these frogs were resistant to Bd infection and that pre-exposure to the herbicides did not alter this resistance. "
12/01/2002 - "The tested herbicides reduced the survival and infection rates of B. "
04/01/1998 - "Susceptibility of Biomphalaria alexandrina to the plant Azolla pinnata and some herbicides in relation to infection with Schistosoma mansoni miracidia."

01/01/2015 - "The estimated suicide rates during this period decreased by 10.0% and 46.1% for total suicides and suicides by poisoning of herbicides or fungicides, respectively. "
08/01/2013 - "Excessive use of nitrate fertilisers and herbicides results in accumulation of nitrate in plants and methemoglobinaemia in cattle as consequences of nitrate poisoning. "
02/01/2012 - "Acute oral poisoning due to chloracetanilide herbicides."
01/01/2012 - "We demonstrated that herbicides stand out as the dominant agent for poisoning-related fatalities. "
01/01/2012 - "Control measures to prevent plant intoxication, including use of fences, herbicides, or other methods of eliminating poisonous plants, have been unsuccessful to avoid poisoning by fluoroacetate containing plants in Brazil. "

07/01/1996 - "The association between neuroblastoma and parental exposure with herbicides and pesticides resulted from an extensive exploratory data analysis and needs to be confirmed in further studies."
07/01/1996 - "Parental exposure to herbicides and pesticides was associated with the occurrence of neuroblastoma (RR = 4.2, 95% CI:1.4-12.9). "
01/01/2011 - "Using mouse neuroblastoma (N2a) cells and primary neurons from C57BL/6 mice, we investigated the toxicity of these herbicides, and protective effects of SS1 peptide against picloram and triclopyr toxicity. "

05/01/1998 - "[Experimental assessment of the development of delayed-type hypersensitivity upon exposure to phenoxy herbicides]."
01/02/1986 - "Histology findings and clinical course favor hypersensitivity reaction of lung and congestion of exogeneous material probably related to exposure to herbicides."
10/01/1987 - "Irritant and allergic reactions to other pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, etc.) were rare. "
04/15/2012 - "In these countries allergies increase in relation to the spreading use of xenobiotics (pesticides, herbicides, pollution, etc.) with a rate similar to those of developed countries, overcoming the protective effects of infections. "
10/01/2008 - "Mercurials may be found in drugs for the eye, ear, nose, throat, and skin; in bleaching creams; as preservatives in cosmetics, tooth pastes, lens solutions, vaccines, allergy test and immunotherapy solutions; in antiseptics, disinfectants, and contraceptives; in fungicides and herbicides; in dental fillings and thermometers; and many other products. "

01/01/2009 - "One of these herbicides, 2-[2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC), is so selective and efficient that it can be applied as a medicine in a hereditary metabolic disease - tyrosinemia type I. In this paper the available information concerning the molecular mechanism of HPPD inhibition by NTBC, originating from experimental investigations as well as theoretical modeling, has been collected. "
12/09/2005 - "While several di- and tri-ketone alkaloids are known as inhibitors of HPPD and used commercially as herbicides, one such inhibitor, [2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC), has also been used therapeutically to treat type I tyrosinemia and alkaptonuria in humans. "
08/15/2005 - "In this bacterium, deletion of the homogentisate gene cluster (hmgRABC) confers upon this mutant huge biotechnological possibilities since it can be used: (i) as a target for testing new specific herbicides (p-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitors); (ii) to identify new therapeutic drugs-effective in the treatment of alkaptonuria and other related tyrosinemia - and (iii) as a source of homogentisic acid in a plant-bacterium association."
