Disease relevance of Gloves, Protective

• The use of protective gloves and the prevalence of hand eczema, skin complaints and allergy to natural rubber latex among dental personnel in the county of Uppsala, Sweden [1].
• Allergic dermatoses were due to natural rubber (latex) (4 cases) in protective gloves, phenol-formaldehyde resin (1 case) and cobalt naphthenate (1 case) [2].

High impact information on Gloves, Protective

• Allergy to natural rubber latex is a major occupational problem in the health care sector and a problem even in other occupations in which protective gloves are used [3].
• Dermal in vitro penetration of methiocarb, paclobutrazol, and pirimicarb: effect of nonylphenolethoxylate and protective gloves [4].
• The permeation rate and time lag breakthrough (lag-BT) for MMA (neat, or diluted to 30% in ethanol or acetone), HEMA (30% in water, ethanol, or acetone) and TEGDMA (30% in ethanol or acetone) were investigated for different protective gloves [5].
• In five of the spray operations, the farmers wore neoprene gauntlet-style protective gloves [6].
• The hands region of the body was the area most exposed to bromoxynil (p.e.), the median value of dermal deposition to the hands being 808 microg (p.e.) compared to 1,600 microg (p.e.) for the whole body, when protective gloves were not worn [6].

Associations of Gloves, Protective with chemical compounds

• It is advisable that those who have become allergic to nitroglycerin should wear disposable protective gloves when handling explosives [7].
• Measurements have been made of the rate at which tritiated water and 125I-labelled sodium iodide solution penetrate various types of protective gloves, both isotopes being in common use in this form in universities and similar establishments [8].
• Penetration of protective gloves as a route of intake for tritiated water and 125I-labelled sodium iodide solution [8].
• Penetration of protective gloves by epoxy resin [9].
• A second was placed under the protective glove on the opposite hand to measure the actual deposition of permethrin on the hands when the gloves were worn [10].

Gene context of Gloves, Protective

• The two main permeation test methods used in testing the resistance to chemicals of protective gloves are ASTM F739-85 and the draft international standard ISO/DIS 6529 [11].
• The BEAA concentration in the urine of exposed workers ranged up to 75.1 mg/l (median 6.3 mg/l), whereas in urine samples of the controls the BEAA level was below or around the determination limit of 0.5 mg/l. A protective effect on DEGBE uptake was observed with the use of protective gloves [12].
• Field of application rules and regulations, materials and manufacturing, and test methods of protective gloves are described in Part I of this three part series [13].
• Permeability of protective gloves by HEMA and TEGDMA in the presence of solvents [14].
