Side-effects of Methaqualone

Treatment of Methaqualone overdose with resin hemoperfusion.

We recently utilized the technique of resin hemoperfusion (employing an Amberlite XAD-4 resin cartridge) to remove drug from a patient i deep coma after an estimated ingestion of greater than 4.5 grams of methaqualone. At plasma flow rates of 204 ml/min, the mean value for plasma clearance of methaqualone was 179 ml/min. The amount of methaqualone recovered from the cartridge at the end of the ...

Evaluation of Awareness, Performance and Side Effects of Formaldehyde Exposure

Background and purpose: Formaldehyde is used in operating rooms to disinfect and sterilize surgical instruments. Inhalation of formaldehyde gas causes various respiratory complications in people. Awareness on the use of formaldehyde can prevent many complications. This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge and practice about formaldehyde exposure in the staff and students of t...

Side Effects of Shot Peening on Fatigue Crack Initiation Life

Shot peening beneficial effects on fatigue life of mechanical components are well known. However, there are some reports in the literature that indicate inappropriate shot peening parameters tend to reduce the fatigue life. It is therefore, the purpose of this study to find a logical quantitative justification for these observations. Using finite element method, a dynamic elastic-plastic simula...

Side Effects

This section covers basic topics and illustrates the technical notion of a computational effect with several mathematical and programming examples. In everyday language, a “side effect” refers to the unintended or unforeseen consequences of an action. By analogy, in order to identify the side effect of a given computation, it is first necessary to isolate the “publicly stated” or “publicly expe...
