Median admission plasma-paraquat concentration in patients with peripheral burning (2.67 μg/mL, 95% CI = 0.84–14.2) was significantly higher than in the patients with no peripheral burning (0.022 μg/mL, 95% CI = 0.005–0.78; p < 0.001). Peripheral burning has a sensitivity of 0.72 (95% CI = 0.6–8) and specificity of 0.74 (95% CI = 0.64–0.08) and a positive predictive value of 0.73 (95% CI = 0.6–0.8). Discussion: It is possible that this symptom may help discriminate between patients who have poor chance of survival and those who may potentially benefit from interventions. The mechanism is not clear but could either include a direct concentration-related effect or be a marker of oxidative stress. Conclusion: Presence of burning sensation is associated with high plasma-paraquat concentrations and is strongly predictive of death.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:02 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47754 k_d), was much higher in the two organic media than in the cropping soils. The increases in adsorption were strongly correlated to the percentage of organic carbon. When the k_d was normalized to adsorption coefficients corrected for OM content (k_oc), variation in results between the media was greatly reduced, indicating that OM is an important factor influencing adsorption in these media. The results of this study suggest that herbicides will be less effective when applied to soils in which sawdust and wood pulp have been added. Using organic amendments to remediate soil will increase adsorption of pesticides, reducing their bio-availability and efficacy, but also reducing their tendency to leach into root zones of deep-rooted crops and into groundwater.]]> Fri 27 Jan 2023 10:17:56 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51710 Fri 15 Sep 2023 14:16:08 AEST ]]>
