background: the aim of this study was to propose a new stochastic model to study the time course of ethanol elimination in human bodies. methods: the times and amount of alcohol ingested are assumed to be random in controllable intervals. constant elimination rate follows zero order kinetics and is replaced by first order kinetics when the effects of alcohol increase due to alcohol ingestion. s...

ingestion of ciprofloxacin can be associated with esophagitis and esophageal ulcer. we report a 46-yearold man with odynophagia and dysphagia following ciprofloxacin ingestion, with a glance on diagnosis and treatment. also, we propose recommendations for prevention of drug-induced esophagitis, according to shape, size, formulation and their etiologic role on esophagitis.

Foreign body ingestion is a common paediatric problem. In the majority of cases spontaneous passage occurs. Magnet ingestion is rare and solitary magnet ingestion usually does not cause any complications. A number of gastrointestinal complications have been reported, such as fistula formation, perforation and volvulus following multiple magnet ingestion. We review magnet ingestion and describe ...

The ingestion of foreign bodies is a comprehensive problem affecting the pediatric population, especially under 5 years of age.  The ingestion of 2 or more magnets may lead to their attraction over planes of intervening soft tissue with enough force to cause significant complications including obstruction, fistula formation or even perforation.This case series report have documented the cases o...

Corrosive ingestion is a rare but potentially devastating event and, despite the availability of effective preventive public health strategies, injuries continue to occur. Most clinicians have limited personal experience and rely on guidelines; however, uncertainty persists about best clinical practice. Ingestions range from mild cases with no injury to severe cases with full thickness necrosis...

background: caustics produce one of the most serious complications of poisonings. this research was aimed to study demographical, clinical and endoscopic findings in patients with corrosive injury. methods: in a retrospective survey, all records of the patients who had been admitted to razi and 17th shahrivar hospital in rasht city due to the ingestion of caustic agents during 2002-2009 and end...

Big data applications have fast arriving data that must be quickly ingested. At the same time, they have specific needs to preprocess and transform the data before it could be put to use. The current practice is to do these preparatory transformations once the data is already ingested, however this is expensive to run and cumbersome to manage. As a result, there is a need to push data preproces...

Animals regulate their food intake in response to the available level of food. Recent observations of feeding dynamics in small animals showed feeding patterns of bursts and pauses, but their function is unknown. Here, we present a data-driven decision-theoretical model of feeding in Caenorhabditis elegans Our central assumption is that food intake serves a dual purpose: to gather information a...

Button battery ingestion in pediatric populations is a common occurrence with severe sequelae. Multiple case reports have established the of death, fistula formation, mucosal erosion, esophageal perforation, and bleeding post-ingestion button batteries. However, there gap literature on bilateral vocal cord paralysis post-lithium ingestion. We present which 12-month-old male developed following ...
