Lead is a bluish-white metallic substance that is soft, malleable and ductile but a poor conductor of electricity. It is primarily obtained through mining the mineral galena and has many current and historic uses including in batteries, ammunition, plumbing, and paints. Lead exposure poses major health risks like brain, nervous system and kidney damage especially in children and can be from sources such as lead paint, gasoline and water distribution systems. Remediating lead contamination can involve covering, removing and recycling lead as well as transforming it into less toxic forms.
Arsenic poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption of arsenic compounds. Acute arsenic poisoning causes gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea, while chronic exposure can lead to skin lesions, peripheral vascular disease, and cancer. Diagnosis is made through laboratory tests of urine, blood, hair, nails, and tissue samples, which detect elevated arsenic levels. Treatment for acute poisoning involves gastric lavage, administration of chelating agents like BAL, and supportive care, while chronic cases require removing the source of exposure and long-term chelation therapy along with symptom management. Autopsy findings may show inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and liver congestion in acute deaths.
This document discusses various types of non-metallic poisons, including their sources, mechanisms of action, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It covers carbon monoxide, cyanide, methanol, ethylene glycol, acetaminophen, vitamins A, C, and D, niacin, chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, organophosphorus insecticides, and environmental pollutants. For each poison, it provides brief details about how it works and affects the body as well as approaches for addressing poisoning.
This document defines and classifies different types of hypoxia: hypoxic (reduced oxygen in inspired air), anemic (reduced hemoglobin), stagnant (reduced blood flow), and histotoxic (tissues cannot use oxygen). It describes the pathophysiology, features, compensatory responses, and oxygen therapy approaches for each type. Hypercapnia and cyanosis, which can occur with hypoxia, are also explained. Oxygen therapy is most effective for hypoxic hypoxia but provides less benefit for types involving deficiencies in oxygen transport or utilization.
This document discusses mercury poisoning from both acute and chronic exposure. It covers the various forms of mercury including elemental, inorganic, and organic mercury. Acute mercury poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or injection and causes symptoms affecting the gastrointestinal, renal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. Chronic mercury poisoning results from long term, low dose exposure and is characterized by tremors, neuropsychiatric effects, and gingival changes. Diagnosis involves measuring mercury levels in blood and hair. Chelating agents are used to treat mercury poisoning by enhancing renal excretion of the mercury-chelator complex.
Toxicity of hydrocarbons can affect many organs but most commonly the lungs due to aspiration. Hydrocarbons are a diverse group of organic compounds including gasoline, oils, and solvents. Their physical properties like viscosity and volatility determine toxicity risk. Inhalation can cause pneumonitis while ingestion risks aspiration pneumonia. Symptoms include respiratory, CNS, cardiac, and GI issues. Treatment is supportive with monitoring for pulmonary or cardiac complications.

It is heavy metal and bright silvery in appearance.It is liquid and is non poisonous if swallowed. However, it volatilizes at room temp and inhalation of vapors is toxic. It gets widely distributed throughout the body and causes toxic damage to brain, kidney, peripheral nervous system, mucous membranes etc
Arsenic is a toxic metallic element that can cause poisoning through various routes of exposure. It acts by binding to sulfhydryl groups in enzymes and proteins, interfering with oxidative phosphorylation and other metabolic pathways. Acute arsenic poisoning presents with gastrointestinal symptoms, hemolysis, renal failure, and shock. Chronic arsenic poisoning can result in skin lesions, cancers, and neurological effects. Diagnosis involves blood, urine, hair, and imaging tests to detect arsenic levels. Treatment focuses on supportive care and chelation therapy to remove arsenic from the body.
Hypochloremia occurs when there is an increase in electrolyte loss from the intestinal tract due to conditions like intestinal obstruction, dilation, or torsion of the abomasums. Normally, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid in exchange for sodium bicarbonate, and the hydrogen, chloride, and potassium ions are absorbed by the small intestine. However, when there is a failure of the abomasums to empty or an obstruction of the small intestine, large amounts of chloride, hydrogen, and potassium ions become trapped, leading to hypochloremia, hypokalemic alkalosis, and other clinical symptoms like anorexia, weight loss, and lethargy. The main causes of
The document provides an overview of arsenic poisoning, including its pathophysiology and signs. It discusses how different forms of inorganic arsenic like arsenite and arsenate act through different mechanisms, with arsenite being more toxic as it binds to mitochondrial membranes and damages them. Chronic arsenic poisoning typically affects the skin, cardiovascular system, nervous system and other organs. It proceeds in stages characterized by gastrointestinal, dermatological, neurological and neuromuscular symptoms, and can cause conditions like diabetes, cancer, and peripheral neuropathy over prolonged exposure.
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that can cause lead poisoning through various sources like automobile exhaust, lead-based paints, contaminated food/water, and occupational exposures. Acute lead poisoning presents with abdominal colic, constipation, and in severe cases, encephalopathy and death. Chronic lead poisoning results in anemia, Burton lines on gums, wrist or foot drop, and potentially kidney and brain damage. Treatment involves chelation therapy with agents like BAL, EDTA, DMSA or penicillamine to remove lead from the body.
Lead is a cumulative poison that is commonly found in gasoline, lead pipes, solder, lead paints, storage batteries, and other industrial uses. It is a global health problem, accounting for 0.6% of the total global disease burden. The most common routes of exposure are inhalation, ingestion, and through skin. Symptoms of lead poisoning include anemia, constipation, appetite and weight loss, and neurological effects like reduced IQ in children. Diagnosis involves testing coproporphyrin and amino levulinic acid levels in urine and measuring lead levels in blood. Management involves chelation therapy. Major prevention efforts include phasing out lead from gasoline and eliminating lead paint. Regulatory actions aim to restrict
Iron toxicity occurs when excess iron is ingested and circulating levels exceed the body's iron-binding capacity. This can lead to direct injury of the gastrointestinal tract and multiple organ failure. Symptoms progress through four stages, initially causing vomiting and diarrhea and potentially leading to coma and death from hepatic failure. A diagnosis is suggested by elevated serum iron levels above 150 mcg/100 mL or a positive chelating challenge test showing iron excretion in urine. Treatment focuses on gastric decontamination and chelation therapy with deferoxamine to remove unbound iron from circulation.

This document provides information on mercury poisoning, including its physical appearance, types, uses, sources of contamination, toxic dose, clinical features of acute and chronic poisoning, diagnosis, and treatment. It describes two types of mercury - mercuric and mercurous. Clinical features of acute poisoning include tremors, gastrointestinal issues, and renal failure from inhalation, ingestion, or injection. Chronic poisoning can cause neurological and psychiatric symptoms as well as kidney damage. Diagnosis involves tests of urine, blood, hair and imaging. Treatment consists of chelation therapy, supportive measures, and removal of any injected mercury.
This document summarizes information on arsenic and lead poisoning. It discusses the sources, physical properties, uses, and toxic effects of arsenic and lead. For both poisons, it describes the absorption, distribution, and mechanisms of toxicity. The clinical manifestations of acute and chronic poisoning are outlined for each element. Diagnosis involves measuring levels in blood and urine. Treatment of arsenic poisoning involves chelation therapy with BAL, penicillamine or DMSA. For severe lead poisoning, chelation with CaNa2EDTA or BAL is recommended along with supportive care. Mild to moderate lead poisoning is treated with oral chelation agents like D-penicillamine.
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that can cause lead poisoning when levels become elevated in the body. Lead poisoning was common historically from sources like lead paint and gasoline, and it still impacts an estimated 500,000 children in the US. Symptoms range from vague issues to encephalopathy and death. Diagnosis is made via blood lead level testing. Treatment focuses on chelation therapy, prevention of further exposure, and supportive care, though long-term effects can be permanent. While efforts have reduced exposure, lead poisoning remains an important public health issue.
Arsenic toxicity in animals can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure. The document discusses the sources, clinical signs, post-mortem findings, diagnosis, and treatment of arsenic poisoning in various animal species. It provides lethal dose information for different animals and details the mechanisms of toxicity, which involve inhibition of enzymatic reactions through binding to sulfhydryl groups. Distribution is widespread in the body with high concentrations in the liver, kidneys, and other organs.
This document summarizes the properties and effects of cyanide poisoning. It discusses that cyanide is a rapidly acting, highly toxic salt that inhibits cellular respiration. The three main types are potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, and hydrogen cyanide. Cyanide binds to metal complexes in mitochondria, blocking the electron transport chain and preventing ATP production. This deprives cells, especially in the brain and heart, of oxygen. Symptoms of cyanide poisoning include headache, nausea, confusion and respiratory failure. Cyanide is used in mining for gold and silver, electroplating, and has some medical applications in lowering blood pressure.
Lead poisoning can occur through occupational and environmental exposure to lead. It is commonly absorbed through inhalation of lead dust or fumes and ingestion of lead paint chips or contaminated water. Lead is stored in bones and teeth and distributed throughout the body. Symptoms of lead poisoning include abdominal pain, constipation, fatigue, and neurological issues. It is diagnosed based on blood lead levels and other lab tests. Treatment focuses on removing lead from the body through chelation therapy or purges. Preventive measures include substituting lead, controlling dust and fumes, personal protection, and hygiene practices.
This document discusses cyanide poisoning. It begins by defining cyanide and listing common sources such as fumigation of ships, electroplating, and the plastic industry. Cyanide poisoning can occur through homicide, suicide, or accidents involving these industries. It is absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Clinically, it causes rapid death by inhibiting cellular respiration. Signs include a bitter almond smell, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. Post-mortem, the body has a bright red color and bitter almond odor. Treatment focuses on giving oxygen, activated charcoal if ingested, and dicobalt edetate as an antidote to prevent death.
Zinc is an essential element but can be toxic in high amounts. Zinc toxicity occurs when more than 225mg is ingested and can cause damage to organs like the stomach lining. Symptoms of zinc toxicity include brain damage, organ failure, and complications that require immediate medical treatment. While zinc is necessary for health, excess amounts from supplements, food stored in galvanized containers, or industrial exposure can potentially lead to poisoning.

It covers topics like pH adjustment using sulfuric acid to control scaling, the effects of high pH like increased microbial growth, how much acid is required, chlorine dosing to lower pH and kill bacteria, chlorine demand, factors affecting corrosion like chlorides and stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel, and corrosion inhibition using phosphates. Maintaining the proper delta phosphate is important to control corrosion.
Iron is an essential element but can be toxic in high amounts. Iron poisoning most often occurs when children accidentally ingest iron supplements. Symptoms of iron toxicity can be severe and include vomiting, abdominal pain, shock, liver damage, and gastrointestinal bleeding and necrosis. Diagnosis involves measuring serum iron levels and a chelation challenge test. Treatment focuses on gastric lavage, administering charcoal or antacids, correcting dehydration and acidosis, and chelation therapy with desferrioxamine or deferiprone to remove excess iron from the body.
3 iron deficiency anemia blood diseases.pptssuser9976be
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia globally. It occurs when iron levels in the body are insufficient to support normal red blood cell production. Key signs include pallor, fatigue, dyspnea, koilonychia, and angular cheilitis. It is diagnosed based on a low MCV and MCH on a CBC, low serum iron and ferritin levels, and absence of iron in bone marrow staining. Common causes are insufficient dietary iron intake, blood loss, hookworm infection, and increased iron needs during growth and pregnancy.
This document discusses elemental pollution in the environment. It notes that industrialization has increased the concentration of elements in the environment, posing health risks. Certain elements like lead, mercury, and chromium are toxic in some forms. Heavy metal pollution of water bodies is a concern, as these metals can contaminate drinking water sources. Various methods are used to remove heavy metals from polluted water, including reverse osmosis, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, and biosorption using algae. Detection of heavy metals in water samples involves techniques like ICP, AAS, and ion selective electrodes. Surface and groundwater contamination by toxic metals through pollution has affected many populations.
Environmental and Industrial Toxicants discusses several heavy metals that can cause toxicity in workers and the environment. It describes how arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are absorbed and distributed in the body, their mechanisms of toxicity, and resulting health effects. Arsenic is found in mining, smelting and pesticides and causes gastrointestinal symptoms immediately as well as skin lesions and cancer with long term exposure. Cadmium exposure occurs mainly through welding and smoking and accumulates in the kidneys, displacing zinc and damaging renal tubules. Lead is used in construction and batteries, stored in bones, and affects the nervous system. Mercury is used in thermometers and released from coal burning, affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and
This document discusses iron deficiency anemia, including its causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. Key points include:
- Iron deficiency anemia results from low iron levels, reducing oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood and causing tissue hypoxia.
- It has various causes including low dietary iron intake, reduced absorption, blood loss, and increased requirements during growth and pregnancy.
- Signs include fatigue, paleness, and nutritional deficiencies affecting nails, tongue, and lips. Diagnostic tests include low iron saturation and ferritin levels on blood tests.
- Treatment involves oral or intravenous iron supplementation, with adjuvants like vitamin C to aid absorption. Refractory cases may require alternative oral
This document discusses copper deficiency and associated diseases in ruminants. It covers causes such as inadequate dietary copper intake or factors inhibiting copper absorption. Risk factors that influence copper levels are described. Copper deficiency primarily affects young grazing ruminants and can be primary or secondary. Signs include wool, bone, and connective tissue abnormalities as well as anemia, diarrhea, and nervous system issues. The pathogenesis involves impaired antioxidant defenses and enzyme functions due to lack of copper cofactors.
Calcarea carb is prepared from oyster shell and is suited for fair, fatty, flabby patients who are chilly and sensitive to cold. It is used for bone and glandular affections, respiratory troubles, and abdominal disorders. Key indications include delayed development, profuse sweating, sour discharges, craving for eggs and indigestible items, and aggravation from cold. It is useful for bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, soft and weak bones with delayed ossification, and pathological fractures.
This document discusses the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of heavy metals in the environment. It explains that heavy metals cannot be broken down and build up in organisms over their lifetime, becoming more concentrated in organisms higher up the food chain. Specific heavy metals like arsenic, mercury, and lead are then discussed in more detail regarding their sources, toxicity to humans, and effects of long-term exposure through drinking water or other pathways. Standards and guidelines for heavy metal levels in drinking water are also mentioned.
I mentioned the most common toxic material in this lecture"lead, iron, mercury, Arsenic" and I put CO in it.

Group E presented on iron deficiency anemia. Key points include:
1. Iron is essential for hemoglobin production but 10% of ingested iron is absorbed.
2. Iron deficiency anemia results from negative iron balance and is characterized by microcytic, hypochromic anemia.
3. Treatment involves identifying the underlying cause, such as blood loss, and correcting the deficiency with oral or parental iron supplements.
Heavy metal poisoning can involve multiple systems and be caused by various metals like arsenic, lead, mercury, and copper. Arsenic poisoning presents with gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea as well as skin lesions. Lead poisoning commonly affects the nervous system causing issues like decreased IQ and hyperactivity. Mercury poisoning can cause pulmonary toxicity and kidney damage. Copper poisoning results in liver injury and haemolysis. Diagnosis involves measuring metal levels in blood and urine. Treatment focuses on decontamination, chelation therapy, and supportive care.

Growth, yield and economic returns of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophth...Md. Atick Chowdhury
The influence of stocking density plays one of the major roles in the final production for profitable aquaculture. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of stocking density on growth, yield and economic return of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). The fish were reared in cages at three different stocking densities. Fishes were stocked at 19, 22 and 25 fish/m3 densities indicated as T1, T2 and T3. After 90 days of the experimental period, growth and yield parameters were studied and economic analysis regarding farm profitability was carried out. Fish growth performance significantly decreased with increasing stocking density. The mean yields were 12.27 ± 0.08, 14.00 ± 0.14 and 15.01 ± 0.20 kg/m3 in T1, T2 and T3, respectively and showed significant variations (P < 0.05) with increasing stocking density. RGR, SGR, PER between 19 and 22 fish/m3 were not significantly different, but they were significantly higher than 25 fish/m3. The FCR was significantly lower in 19 and 22 fish/m3 than the 25 fish/m3 stocked cages. Environmental parameters were within the acceptable range. The benefit-cost analysis revealed significantly higher BCR in 19 and 22 fish/m3. Overall, best farm profitability was achieved from the stocking density of 22 fish/m3 among three stocking densities experimented in the study.

Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Toxic Components of the Diet of Teleosts
1.
2. Excessive levels of minerals in the diet can be
responsible for a number of well recognized
and not infrequent disease conditions. Unless
the toxicant level is overwhelming, the clinical
signs are those so often associated with
nutritional disease, namely reduced growth
and poor conversion, often with darkening of
skin colour.
4. • Mining and processing
• Smelting plants
• Rolling mills plants for the surface treatment of
metals
• Film, textile and leather industries and other
sources
• Burning of fossil fuels
• By the exhaust gases of motor vehicles and from
other sources
5. • LC50s are around 0.001 to 0.01 mg/litre
• Toxicity signs associated with reduced growth
(dietary level above 15 mg/kg)
Figure: Control gill lamella of Esomus danricus
6. Figure: Alterations in secondary gill
lamellae exposed to 5.5mg/l of copper
Figure: Alterations in gill of Esomus
exposed to sub-lethal concentration
(0.55mg/L) of copper
7. • Disease caused due to calcium toxicity are-
• Hypercalcinosis
• Nephrocalcinosis
• Lithiasis
• Cholelithiasis
8. Figure: Renal calcification (nefrocalcinos) in the rear part of the kidney in rainbow
trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
9. • Nephrocalcinosis: Dietary selenium toxicity
(13 mg/g) in rainbow trout resulted in an
increased level of calcium and magnesium in
kidney and elevated levels of magnesium in
liver and thus nephrocalcinosis occur in the
rear part of fish kidney.
10. • Acute toxic concentrations range from-
• 1 to 10 mg/litre for salmonids
• 10 to 100 mg/litre for cyprinids
• Acute lead toxicity is characterized initially by damage to
the gill epithelium
• Diseases due to Pb toxicity-
• Scoliosis
• Lordosis
• Black tail
• Anaemia
• Degeneration of caudal fin
• The affected fish are killed by suffocation
12. • Disease occurred due to cadmium toxicity:
• Hypocalcaemia
• Hyperexcitability
• Osteoporosis
• An adverse influence of long exposure to
cadmium upon the maturation, hatchability
and development of larvae in rainbow trout
was recorded at concentrations as low as
0.002 mg/litre
13. Figure: Representative Antarctic notothenioid fish. The Antarctic rockcod, Notothenia
coriiceps (top), is red-blooded and possesses a robustly mineralized skeleton. The white-
blooded icefish, Chaenocephalus aceratus (bottom), is profoundly anemic and
osteopenic
14. • Vacuolated hepatocytes occur due to iron toxicity
• Soluble ferrous iron can be oxidized to insoluble
ferric compounds which then cover the gill
lamellae and inhibit respiration
• At a low water temperature and in the presence
of iron, iron-depositing bacteria will multiply
rapidly on the gills and further contribute to the
oxidation of ferrous iron compounds
16. • The lethal concentrations are around 0.1 mg/litre
for salmonids (some authors even suggest a level
of 0.01 mg/litre) and 0.5 to 1.0 mg/litre for
cyprinids
• Reduced growth (dietary level above 300mg/kg)
• Rainbow trout and brown trout and especially
their fry are extremely sensitive to zinc and its
compounds
• Zinc poisoning of fish is most frequently
encountered in trout culture
17. • LC50s 2.0 to 7.5 mg/litre
• Reduced growth and feed efficiency
• Acute poisoning exhibits-
• Body surface covering with mucus
• Respiratory epithelium of the gills is damaged
• Fish die with symptoms of suffocation
• Fish suffering from chronic chromium intoxication
accumulate an orange-yellow liquid in their body
cavity
