Journal ArticleDOI
The role of thiols, dithiols, nutritional factors and interacting ligands in the toxicology of mercury.
TL;DR: The issue of diagnostic testing for chronic, historical or low dose mercury poisoning is considered including an analysis of the influence of ligand interactions and nutritional factors upon the accuracy of "chelation challenge" tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the clinical toxicity of mercury.
Laszlo Magos,Thomas W. Clarkson +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to survey differences in human exposure and in the toxicology of different forms of mercury to study subclinical effects in population studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is dental amalgam safe for humans? The opinion of the scientific committee of the European Commission
TL;DR: It was claimed by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in a report to the EU-Commission that "....no risks of adverse systemic effects exist and the current use of dental amalgam does not pose a risk of systemic disease..."
Journal ArticleDOI
Amalgam studies: disregarding basic principles of mercury toxicity.
TL;DR: A number of studies are methodically flawed drawing inaccurate conclusions as to the safety of dental amalgam, considering the newest findings on mercury toxicity and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential adverse health effects of dental amalgam.
Amy M. Brownawell,Stanley Berent,Robert L. Brent,James V. Bruckner,John Doull,Eric Gershwin,Ronald D. Hood,Genevieve M. Matanoski,Raphael Rubin,Bernard Weiss,Meryl H. Karol +10 more
TL;DR: This review has uncovered no convincing evidence pointing to any adverse health effects that are attributable to dental amalgam restorations besides hypersensitivity in some individuals.

Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological and somatic subjective symptoms as a result of dermatological patch testing with metallic mercury and phenyl mercuric acetate
TL;DR: It might be possible to identify patients intolerant to small test doses of percutaneously penetrating mercury (previously considered innocuous), and these findings may have a bearing on the systemic side-effects attributed to mercury released from amalgam tooth fillings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury enhances susceptibility to murine leishmaniasis
Lee M. Bagenstose,Margaret M. Mentink‐Kane,Andrew Brittingham,David M. Mosser,Marc Monestier +4 more
TL;DR: Results show that HgCl2 treatment enhances the susceptibility to L. major in SJL mice, consistent with the induction of host Th2 parameters, which has implications for the role of mercury contamination in areas of endemic leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of occupational metallic mercury vapour exposure on suppressor-inducer (CD4+CD45RA+) T lymphocytes and CD57+CD16+ natural killer cells.
S. H. Park,Shunichi Araki,Akinori Nakata,Y. H. Kim,J. A. Park,Takeshi Tanigawa,Kazuhito Yokoyama,H. Sato +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that numbers of CD4+CD45RA+ T lymphocytes and CD57+CD16+ NK cells are inversely affected by exposure to metallic mercury vapour in workers, with an average urinary inorganic mercury concentration of 45 μg/l being found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symptoms and signs reported during patch testing
TL;DR: Distant skin reactions and impairment of general health occurring during patch testing are often reported at the time of test reading, however, with the exception of itch on the back, symptoms and signs are rather less common after the application of patch tests than before.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stereological study of dorsal root ganglion cells and nerve root fibers from rats exposed to mercury vapor
TL;DR: It is concluded that mercury vapor, in a dose sufficient to produce intoxication, induces only minor changes in dorsal root ganglion and nerve roots in rats.
