Background: Toxic alcohol poisonings are responsible for high mortality and morbidity in Russia. This study was aimed to evaluate the trends of harmful ethanol (EtOH) drinking as well as methanol (MeOH), isopropanol (IPA) and ethylene glycol (EG) poisonings in the Middle Urals region of Russia. Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical records of patients poisoned with MeOH, IPA and EG ...

A study was conducted to assess the physical characteristics, chemical composition and fatty acid profile of ostrich eggs. Fifteen eggs were collected randomly and used for the conduct of study. Studies revealed the average size to be 1435.1 ± 20.10 g, length 151.5 ± 0.83 mm, width 113.6 ± 0.34 mm, shell thickness 2.56 ± 1.12 mm and shape index 74.2 ± 0.82. Three principal components amounted t...

Fatty acids of winged bean seed oil were examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of their pyrrolidide derivatives. Oleic and linoleic acids were determined to be the major unsaturated fatty acids in the oil. Long chain saturated fatty acids, such as behenic and lignoceric acids, were found in relatively high amounts as compared with other edible seed oils. The fatty acids that could no...

conclusions we have found significant associations between lifestyle factors (alcohol consumption and smoking) and mental health problems (depression and insomnia) and crc screening uptake. to improve overall crc screening uptake in the us, it is important to consider racial differences in predictors and tailor appropriate interventions to each racial/ethnic group. background mortality from col...

an efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withh5io6/v2o5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][pf6] has been developed. high yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. the catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

determination of blood compatibility is an important problem in blood contacting devices. in this study, two classes of materials including polyurethane (based on polyethylene glycol and poly tetrametylene oxide) and polyvinyl alcohol samples, with different hydrophilicity properties were synthesized and their physico-chemical properties were compared. water uptake ratio, ftir spectroscopy, and...
