Regional cerebral blood flow and verbal memory after chronic exposure to organic solvents

Regional cerebral blood flow at the time of diagnosis of chronic toxic encephalopathy induced by organic-solvent exposure and after the cessation of exposure.

“…In a study of 32 exposed workers, Maximilian et al (15) found a 6 % decrea se in the mean flow level in comparison to estim ated control values . We have pr eviously reported a reduction of the CBF level in 50 expo sed paint factory worker s as compared to une xposed re fer ent s mat ched for age and education (16) .…”

Variability of physiological brain perfusion in healthy subjects – A systematic review of modifiers. Considerations for multi-center ASL studies

“…133 Long-term exposure to solvents and inhalants (B4), such as industrial dyes and ethers, was in some studies found to be associated with a decrease in grey matter perfusion. 136 There are also changes in regional perfusion, which is increased in the left occipital region and decreased in the prefrontal and temporal cortices, and in the thalamus. 137 Acute inhalation (C1) appears to regionally increase grey matter perfusion up to 14.2 ml/100 g/min (þ20.9%).…”

Effects on the regional cerebral blood flow of long‐term exposure to organic solvents

“…Very little was known about rCBF changes in exposed subjects. The only evidence was the results from a pilot study of 32 exposed workers (average 25 years of exposure to a mixture of solvents) indicating a slight reduction (6Vo) in the average flow level compared to normals of similar age (Maximilian et al (1982)).…”
