BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE White matter (WM) injury in carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is thought to be related to delayed cognitive sequelae. To determine if microstructural changes in WM are responsible for the delayed onset of cognitive symptoms, we performed diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with CO intoxication. MATERIALS AND METHODS DTI was performed in 14 patients with delayed s...

Nerve agents are highly toxic organophosphates (OPs) that can cause severe damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system insult results in seizures and neuronal death. The glutamatergic system apparently contributes to the neuropathology. Using a model of OP intoxication causing death of retinal ganglion cells in the mouse eye, we show here that intoxication i...

This study used experience sampling to examine within-person associations between positive affect, anxiety, sadness, and hostility and two outcomes: alcohol intoxication and acute dependence symptoms. We examined the role of urgency, premeditation, and perseverance in predicting the alcohol outcomes and tested whether the affective associations varied as a function of urgency. Participants comp...

MURATA, K. and NAKAZAWA, K. Lipid Changes in Serum Following Drug Shock and Intoxication. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1971, 104 (3), 225-232 Serum lipid changes were investigated following a drug shock and 16 intoxication cases. Analyses of serum lipid fractions showed that both drug shock and intoxication resulted in a demonstrable decrease of triglyceride and a trend of increase of phospholipid. The...

 Abstract We report a case of paint thinner intoxication by inhalation, with rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, skin lesions and severe sciatic nerve lesion at gluteal region.

The number of bicycling fatalities was 19 450 between 2010 and 2018 in Europe. bicyclists killed when intoxicated by alcohol is harder to establish given the lack reliable data. In Sweden, drunk socially acceptable legal (unless reckless). This experiment aimed investigate how intoxication affect stability performance, executive functions, self-rated ability. completed on a wide treadmill that ...

BACKGROUND The 21st-century epidemic of pharmaceutical and other drug-intoxication deaths in the United States (US) has likely precipitated an increase in misclassified, undercounted suicides. Drug-intoxication suicides are highly prone to be misclassified as accident or undetermined. Misclassification adversely impacts suicide and other injury mortality surveillance, etiologic understanding, p...

The effect of different sources of nitrate salts (ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate) on nitrate reductase (NR) activity and nitrate reductase expression in the leaves of Foeniculum vulgare seedlings grown in pots containing perlite. Two week old seedlings were treated with 30, 60 and 120 mM aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate. After 21 ...

1. The serum changes observed during acute experimental pancreatitis indicate that the shock and death are due to an intoxication from protein split products, and not to an intoxication from pure tryptic ferment. 2. When the pancreatitis is produced by the injection of an anti-proteolytic substance (sodium oleate), the degree of intoxication bears no relation to the degree of tissue destruction...

in april, 2013, a suzhou hospital reported a nitrite intoxication patient in coma as well as 2 family members with the similar symptom 5 days ahead. we investigated the event to identify the cause, source and possible pollution ways of the contamination.we defined case as any person living in yshy community who has cyanosis and with at least one of the following symptoms: dizziness, headache, f...
