چکیده

A patient with acute respiratory failure secondary to leptospirosis was treated with 40 and 90 volumes per million inhaled nitric oxide. His serum nitrogen oxide concentration (nitrates and nitrites combined) increased 13-fold. The mechanisms for the formation and elimination of nitrates are discussed.

Effect of renal function on serum nitrogen oxide concentrations.

Nitric oxide is too short-lived to measure in vivo, but its production can be estimated by measuring its stable oxidation products, nitrites and nitrates, in serum. Renal elimination of these ions has been demonstrated, but the effect of renal function on their concentrations in serum is currently unknown. We evaluated serum and urine nitrates + nitrites as serum nitrogen oxides (sNOx), nitroge...

Nitrogen Oxides Induced Neurodegeneration as Examined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Air pollutant gases include ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, organic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and endotoxins, and metals [1]. Nitrogen is released during fuel combustion and combines with oxygen atoms in the atmosphere to produce nitric oxide and other nitrogen oxides, which can be inhaled by the upper res...

Reduction in nitrogen dioxide concentration by soda lime preparations during simulated nitric oxide inhalation.

Nitrogen dioxide is formed during delivery of inhaled nitric oxide for the treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension. Soda lime has been shown to absorb nitrogen dioxide. We tested three different commercially available soda lime preparations (Sodasorb, Drägersorb 800 and Sofnolime) for their efficacy in absorbing nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide during simulated nitric oxide inhalatio...

Effects of higher oxides of nitrogen on the anaesthetized dog.

The physiological derangements during and following the administration of higher oxides of nitrogen have been studied in dogs anaesthetized with pentobarbitone. The dogs were exposed to concentrations of nitric oxide or nitrogen dioxide between 0.1 and 2.0 per cent over periods between 5 and 136 minutes. Despite the inhalation of 98 per cent oxygen, death was always associated with a critical r...
