This discussion will highlight the following 9 specific points that related to metabolic acidosis caused by various toxins. The current recommendation suggests that alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor fomepizole is preferred to ethanol in treatment of methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning, but analysis of the enzyme kinetics indicates that ethanol is a better alternative. In the presence of a mode...

To the Editor: We wish to substantiate the important observations of LeGatt and Tisdell (1) cautioning against the use of propylene glycol as an internal standard for quantifying ethylene glycol. A 32-yearold woman presented to our emergency department in an agitated state after the ingestion of multiple drugs in an attempted suicide. Gastric lavage and charcoal were administered as well as int...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review English-language articles on fomepizole administration in patients with ethylene glycol poisoning. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents, and PubMed. Search terms were fomepizole, 4-methylpyrazole, and ethylene glycol. The search was supplemented with a bibliographic review of all relevant articles. STUDY SELECTION All published reports of fomepiz...

BACKGROUND Intoxication with ethylene glycol happen all around the world and without rapid recognition and early treatment, mortality from this is high. METHODS In our study, we retrospectively analysed six cases of ethylene glycol intoxication in our department. We measured ethylene glycol or glycolate levels, lactate levels and calculated the osmolal and anion gap. RESULTS Data from six p...

The present investigation is an attempt to evaluate the effect of Bergenia ciliata extract on kidney of ethylene glycol induced urolithiasis in adult female Wistar rats. The hydro-alcoholic extract of Bergenia ciliata/standard drug cystone were administrated simultaneously at a dose of 150 and 300 mg/kg body weight/day, p.o. along with ethylene glycol (0.75% v/v) for 28 days. Significant change...

Gaston, Lamont W. (National Heart Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.) and E. R. Stadtman. Fermentation of ethylene glycol by Clostridium glycolicum, sp. n. J. Bacteriol. 85:356-362. 1963.-An anaerobic organism which utilizes ethylene glycol as a source of energy and carbon has been isolated from mud. It is a long (5 mu), slender, motile, gram-positive, spore-forming rod, wi...

Eleven commercially available alcohol and ethylene glycol derivatives were tested for their toxicity toward a problem organism in jet fuel, Cladosporium resinae. In the presence of glucose, 20% (vol/vol) ethylene glycol monomethyl ether prevented spore germination and mycelial growth, and 10% (vol/vol) 2-ethoxybutanol, 10% 2-isopropoxyethanol, 10% 3-methoxybutanol, 5% 2-butyloxyethanol, 5% ethy...

in the present work, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method. the structure of graphene was then confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscope (tem) images. after that, mixed acid method (h2so4/hno3) was used to make the structure of synthesized graphenehydrophilic. in this method, carboxylate and hydroxide groups were linked to the edges of gr...

of AF performance. that contain EG has been reponed to result in irreversible damage to renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems, and is a cause of death in household pets and other animals.2-4 It is not known why some animals ingest EGcontaining products. Although there are reports suggesting that the "sweet" taste of EG, and of products containing it, may lead to ingestion ...
