Therapeutic photobiomodulation for methanol-induced retinal toxicity.
Methanol intoxication produces toxic injury to the retina and optic nerve, resulting in blindness. The toxic metabolite in methanol intoxication is formic acid, a mitochondrial toxin known to inhibit the essential mitochondrial enzyme, cytochrome oxidase. Photobiomodulation by red to near-IR radiation has been demonstrated to enhance mitochondrial activity and promote cell survival in vitro by ...
متن کاملMethanol inhalation toxicity.
Significant toxicity can result from intentional methanol inhalation. We report seven cases, involving four patients, of intentional inhalation of CARB-MEDIC carburetor cleaner containing toluene (43.8%), methanol (23.2%), methylene chloride (20.5%), and propane (12.5%). Patients arrived at the emergency department with central nervous system depression, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, p...

متن کاملPhotobiomodulation Suppresses Alpha-Synuclein-Induced Toxicity in an AAV-Based Rat Genetic Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Converging lines of evidence indicate that near-infrared light treatment, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), may exert beneficial effects and protect against cellular toxicity and degeneration in several animal models of human pathologies, including neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, we report that chronic PMB treatment mitigates dopaminergic loss induced by unilateral over...
متن کاملTherapeutic Effects of High Dose Intravenous Prednisolone on Methanol Induced Toxic Optic Neuropathy
Background: The effects of high dose steroids for the treatment of methanol optic neuropathy was evaluated in this study. Methods: In an interventional case series, 9 patients with a history of sudden visual loss after an ingestion of homemade alcoholic beverages were included in the study. The patients received 250 mg intravenous methyl prednisolone every 6 hours for 4 days continued with oral...
