![]() The central hypothesis is that Latino workers exposed to organophosphorous and carbamate insecticides will exhibit poorer postural control, as indicated by measures of postural sway obtained from static posturography. compounds such as nerve gas prophylactic pyridostigmine bromide, or insecticides/pesticides such as N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and permethrin. It has a Specific Aim to compare measures of postural control between Latino migrant and seasonal farmworkers who are exposed to agricultural pesticides and a control group of Latino manual workers who are not exposed to these pesticides. The current project is being conducted by Virginia Tech, as a sub-contract to a parent grant at Wake Forest University Medical Center (PI: Tom Arcury). Limited evidence also exists regarding deleterious effects of carbamate exposure. Organophosphate (OP) exposure can lead to sensory neuropathy, and more direct evidence suggests that such exposure can adversely affect postural control. pesticides, pyridostigmine bromide, and chemical warfare nerve agents) alone and in combination with other risk factors 5) epidemiological research on the health status of U.S. Further, existing evidence indicates compromised sensorimotor function or impaired postural control following exposure to organic solvents and pyridostigmine bromide. ![]() Such effects imply that pesticide exposure will also adversely affect postural control, and thereby contribute to an increase in fall risks. stressful military service experiences, pyridostigmine bromide tablets, anti-biological warfare tablets, pesticides/insecticides and report of being in a. Both pyridostigmine bromide (318) and distigmine bromide (319) are currently prescribed for this purpose, and both are derived from 3-hydroxypyridine B-93MI 506-01. of anopheles density with Interactions of pyridostigmine bromide, DEET and. Prior work indicates that pesticide exposure can have detrimental effects on several of the functions related to postural control, for example psychomotor processing speed and motor performance. Increasing evidence suggests excess illness in Persian Gulf War veterans (GWV) can be explained in part by exposure of GWV to organophosphate and carbamate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEis), including pyridostigmine bromide (PB), pesticides, and nerve agents. Toxicity of a Neem ( Azadirachta indica ) insecticide to certain j Gen.
