Effect of inhaled anesthetic gases on immune status alterations in health care workers.

Conclusions From the data of this study and the findings of other earlier studies, we can conclude that operating room personnel exposures to WAG are associated with changes in blood levels of IgG and IgM, total lymphocytes, CD4+ and CD8+ subtypes, and accordingly, in CD4:CD8 ratios. It is quite possible these changes would likely be associated with immune dysfunction in these WAG-exposed hosts. As it is not yet clear if this might be reflected as reduced host resistance and/or an increased r

Fluoride exposure and duration and quality of sleep in a Canadian population-based sample.

Excerpts Introduction Inorganic fluoride can naturally occur in the environment or be introduced through industrial processes or fluoride supplementation programs. A primary method of fluoride supplementation is community water fluoridation, which refers to the practice of adding fluoridation chemicals to drinking water for the purpose of controlling dental caries. Ingestion of fluoridated drinking water is a major source of fluoride intake [1, 2]. As of 2017, approximately 39%

Toxicity and effect of whitening toothpastes on enamel surface.

Abstract This in vitro study evaluated the biocompatibility and abrasivity of whitening and conventional toothpastes. Samples of conventional (non-whitening) - Edel White Infant (EWI) - and whitening toothpastes - Edel White Whitening (EWW), Edel White CAREFORTE (EWC), Colgate Total 12 Ò Professional (C), and Oral-B Whitening (OB) - were dissolved in culture medium (0.2 g sample weight per mL). Human gingival fibroblasts (hGF) were placed in contact with different dilutions of culture
