ABT EXAM Flashcards
(352 cards)
LEAD
10% abs in adult; 50% in kids initial distribution: liver, kidneys; redistributes to bone exreted in urine acute poisoning is rare Chronic poisoning Adults: GI, neuromuscular Children: CNS Blood: basophilic stippling
ARSENIC
distributes to liver, kidney, hair, nails excreted: feces(ite) urine (ate) competes with PO4+ Diarrhea, dimentia, dermatitis hepatic fatty infiltration and necrosis carcinogen: skin llung, liver, bladder hyperkeratosis
Mercury
electrical equipment, pain, fugicides, fish
elemental (Vapor)
Salt (drinking water)
organo (methylHg) - fish
Chronic Vapors - CNS, psychotic
Chronic Organic: vision, hearing speech, ataxia, teratogen
Therapy
Dimercaprol: unable to reduce brain levels
Peniclliamine: goodfor vapor
polythiol resins: bine Hg in GI tract
CHROMIUM
lung cancer, oxidative injury
BERYLLIUM
effects on skin, conjuctivitis, chronic granuloma, carcinogen; zone 2 of liver
genetic polymorphism
LEAD EFFECTS
Peripheral neuropathy (Adults) Fatigue / Irritability Impaired concentration Hearing loss Wrist / Foot drop Seizures Encephalopathy (Children) Gastrointestinal Effects Nausea Dyspepsia Constipation Colic Lead line on gingival tissue Reproductive Effects Miscarriages/Stillbirths Reduced sperm count & motility Abnormal sperm Heme Synthesis Anemia Erythrocyte protoporphyrin elevation Renal Effects Chronic nephropathy with proximal tubular damage Hypertension Other Arthralgia Myalgia
EXCRETED INTO MILK
simple diffusion
basic compounds more likely because milk is acidic
lipid soluble
aldrin, chlordane, DDT,PCB, PBB, DBpD, furans
CARBON MONOXIDE
focal intimal damage and edema at 180ppm
direct damage to vasc enothelial and smooth muscle
increase permeability
induce atherosclerotic lesions
reversible interaction with Hemoglobin
carboxyhemoglobin decreases the O2 carrying capacity of blood leading to functional anemia
interacts with myoglobin and cytochrome C oxidase. vasodilatory
SALICYLATE
Ph1: hyperventilation leading to resp alkalosis
Ph2: paradoxic aciduria, with resp alkalosis
Ph3: dehydration, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis
ALPHA RADIATION
most cannot penetrate skin
BETA RADIATION
short range
ejected electron
moderately penetrating
clothing provides some protection
GAMMA and XRay
highly penetrating
electromagnetic
dense material needed to shield
chlorophenothane (DDT)
estrogen mimetic
acute: motor unrest, tremors
poor absorption through skin
genotoxicity, endocrine disruptor
ACETONE
Solvent
very low toxicity
DIELDRIN
chlorinated hydrocarbon
persistent
biomagnifies
skin contamination is greatest hazard
NICOTINE
agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
absorbed through skin
FLUORIDE
3.0 ppm chronic moderate fluorosis(mottled teeth)
PARATHION
cholinesterase inhibitor
absorbed through skin
metabolized to paraoxon
Activated by replacement of Sulfur with Oxygen
metabolized to both active and inactive metabolites
Phenacetin
Methemoglobin ; hemolytic anemic; renal damage
“ethanol and carbon tetrachloride are chronically absorbed into an organism, the effect on the liver would be _____.”
Synergy
PHENOTHIAZINE
hypothermia; dry mouth, hypotension
SIACYLATE POISONING
direct stimulation of resp center initially
enhanced urinary excretion of sodium or potassium bicarbonate
accumulation of acids
depressed respiration
CARBON MONOXIDE ACUTE EXPOSURE
increases affinity of unbound hemoglobin sites for oxygen
decreases overall oxygen carry capacity of blood
shifts the dissociation curve for oxyhemoglbin to left
causes blood to become cherry red
STYRENE
narcosis
nausea
respiratory irritaiton
