INTRODUCTION Alcohol poisoning is one of the main preventable causes of death, disability, and injury in many societies. Ethanol and methanol are the most prevalent kinds of alcohol used. There is no any exact reports of alcohol poisoning and its outcome in Iranian society. Therefore, the present study was assessed the status of alcohol poisoning and its outcome in referees to the emergency dep...

INTRODUCTION. Thorough prognostic and metabolic studies of methanol poisonings are scarce. Our aims were to evaluate the factors associated with sequelae and death from methanol poisoning, to develop a simple risk-assessment chart to evaluate factors associated with sequelae and death from methanol poisoning, and to compare the antidotes ethanol and fomepizole. PATIENTS AND METHODS. We present ...

background: methanol poisoning is one of the most important poisoning due to drinking of illegal and non-standard alcoholic beverage in some countries. relatively limited studies have been carried out to identify the prognostic factors in methanol poisoning. materials and methods: we performed a retrospective study on acute methanol-intoxicated patients, which were admitted on the loghman hakim...

In a previous report from this laboratory,' mental animals without attempting a critical the complete parallelism between symptoms evaluation of the findings presented. Suffice of methyl-alcohol poisoning in the human and it to say that there are equally vocal adherin the rhesus monkey was described. In a ents of no retinal findings and of marked subsequent report' we told how the typical histo...

OBJECTIVE Rapid diagnosis and treatment of methanol poisoning is mandatory. Dependence on serum methanol analysis in this situation may delay diagnosis and treatment. The anion and osmolal gaps have been recommended for use as diagnostic tools, but the use of these gaps to evaluate the length of hemodialysis treatment has only been emphasized in a few reports. We evaluated the usefulness of the...

Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of medico-legal autopsies of fatal poisonings in the south Marmara region, Turkey, in the period of 1996-2003, in order to provide further data for the characterisation of fatal poisonings, because there is a scarcity of such information from Turkey. Methods: Of the 4242 autopsied cases, 415 (9.8%) deaths due to poisonings were exami...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS INVESTIGATION was to determine whether methanol poisoning produces changes in the electroretinogram which follow a consistent pattern and are of diagnostic significance. The electroretinogram (ERG) is a graphic tracing of a mass response from the retina upon stimulation by light. The electroretinogram is of value in studying diseases of the retina and can be used as an objec...
