11/01/2015 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity of the metal disc in detecting nickel allergy compared with that of standard patch testing. "

11/01/2011 - "Efficacy of oral hyposensitization in allergic contact dermatitis caused by nickel."
07/01/2014 - "The aim of this study based on the records of the dermatology department of a tertiary referral hospital was to describe patients treated for allergic contact dermatitis induced by nickel between 2000 and 2010. "
07/01/2014 - "Allergic contact dermatitis due to nickel: descriptive study in a tertiary hospital, 2000-2010."
01/01/2012 - "This study confirms that nickel levels on the skin in coin handling occupations and some others are sufficient to induce an allergic contact dermatitis in some nickel-allergic subjects. "
09/01/2007 - "This review summarizes animal and human studies evaluating genetic factors in the development of allergic contact dermatitis from nickel."

06/01/1988 - "The clearance of the nickel from the lungs was very slow and the biological half time was determined 7.7 mo. Although the rats were exposed continuously to NiO(G) for 12 mo and kept for 8 mo clearance period, there were no malignant tumors in any of the exposed animals."
08/01/1981 - "Clinical investigations have resulted in improved diagnosis, classification, and management of cancers of respiratory organs in nickel refinery workers. "
10/01/2014 - "The aim of present study was to evaluate the concentration of nickel (Ni) in biological samples (whole blood, serum) of oral (n = 95) and pharyngeal (n = 84) male cancer patients. "
06/01/2014 - "In this study, the expression of AR, ERs, and SRCs, and the possible roles of them in astrocytic neoplasm were evaluated and compared to normal brain tissues by nickel-intensified immunohistochemistry with tissue microarrays. "
01/01/2014 - "The present study examines effects of metallic nickel fine and nanoparticles on tumor promoter or suppressor gene expressions as well as on cell transformation in JB6 cells. "

09/01/1997 - "It seemed possible that the prognosis for nickel dermatitis could be improved if nickel-allergic patients would strictly avoid metal contact, especially in clothing and jewelry."
03/01/1980 - "In 9 out of 17 patients suffering from dermatitis, a diet with a low nickel content has improved their condition. "
02/01/1978 - "The dermatitis of 9 of the 17 patients improved during a period of 6 weeks on a low nickel diet. "
10/15/2011 - "It appears that the proportion of work tools that release nickel, in amounts that may result in allergic nickel dermatitis, has decreased markedly, when results were compared with a Swedish study performed more than a decade ago. "
01/01/2009 - "The aim of this study was to reveal the clinical characteristics of nickel-allergic patients seen in seven private dermatology clinics and to identify current sources of nickel that may elicit nickel dermatitis. "

12/01/2000 - "We review controlled trials of corticosteroid effect in experimentally elicited acute nickel contact dermatitis in man, in the hope of clarifying optimal efficacy for clinical use. "
03/01/2013 - "Therefore, a nutritional study was performed to assess the effect on UVR suppression of cutaneous cell-mediated immunity (CMI) reflected by nickel contact hypersensitivity (CHS). "
09/01/2010 - "Nickel is the most common sensitizer in almost all studies pertaining to pediatric contact dermatitis. "
02/01/2006 - "The aim of this meta-analysis study on former nickel-exposure investigations was to provide the best possible estimation of threshold values of nickel doses that may cause systemic contact dermatitis in nickel-sensitive patients. "
01/01/2005 - "This study examined the effect of topically applied TTO on nickel-induced contact hypersensitivity reactions in human dorsal skin. "
