Despite the abundance of reports emerging in the literature on metabolic disorders, some disorders remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, not only in clinical pathology but also in forensic pathology. The authors report a patient who had recurrent episodes characterized by nausea, vomiting, and signs
Severe ethylene glycol toxicity can cause profound morbidity and is almost universally fatal if untreated. Central nervous system depression with intoxication, pulmonary edema, and acute oliguric renal failure with crystalluria are among the most commonly encountered complications of ingestion. The
Ethylene oxide is used as a sterilizer, a solvent, a plasticizer and in the manufacture of special solvents, antifreeze, polyester resins and non-ionic surfactants. Its toxicity is caused by an alkylating reaction with most organic substances in the body. Four workers, without any protection,
OBJECTIVE
In view of high incidence and mortality due to ethylene dibromide poisoning, a prospective study was planned to assess demographic, toxicological, clinical profile and outcome.
METHODS
Prospectively collected data of sixty four patients with ethylene dibromide poisoning were reviewed. All
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of EZN-2208, a water-soluble poly(ethylene) glycol conjugate of SN38.
METHODS
Patients with advanced malignancies were enrolled in dose-escalating cohorts (3 + 3 design). EZN-2208 was administered
Ethylene glycol is present predominantly in antifreeze,and in industrial solvents. Accidental ingestion of ethylene glycol is relatively rare, but may be potentially lethal. It results in a depression of the central nervous system, a severe metabolic acidosis and an acute renal failure by tubular
We report a case of a 75-year-old hypertensive, diabetic man who presented to the emergency room with symptoms and signs of nausea, acute intoxication, significant alteration in mental status with rapid neurologic deterioration, and blunt impact injuries sustained during a recent altercation with a
A 36-year-old man with a history of depression presented to the emergency department after ingesting approximately 3,000 mL of ethylene glycol antifreeze in a suicide attempt. The patient's ethylene glycol concentration, 1,889 mg/dL, was higher than any level previously documented in the medical
BACKGROUND
Ethylene glycol intoxication causes severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. Fomepizole has become available as its antidote. Nevertheless, a prompt diagnosis is not easy because patients are often unconscious. Here we present a case of ethylene glycol intoxication who
We describe an 18-year-old man with acute renal failure due to inadvertent ingestion of antifreeze that contained ethylene glycol (EG). A relatively small amount of EG was ingested, but nausea and vomiting were observed soon after ingestion. During admission to a local hospital, consciousness became
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of two methods of colon preparation for colon cleansing in a randomized controlled trial.
METHODS
In this prospective randomized investigator-blinded trial, consecutive outpatients indicated for elective colonoscopy were randomized into
Seven clerical workers were evaluated in 1993, 8 months after exposure to vaporized 2-butoxyethanol (2-BE; also called butyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether [EGMBE or EGBE]), which had been applied overnight to strip the floor of their file room. At the time of exposure, they had noted
A 9 years old boy presented to our hospital complaining of night sweat and weight loss (5kg) for 3 months followed by cough, nausea, vomiting and malaise for two weeks. During that time he was found to have continuous hypertension. The clinical, electrocardiogram (ECG), renal scintigraphy and
OBJECTIVE
Endoscopic sphincterotomy has become a generally accepted method for extracting common bile duct stones in high risk or cholecystectomized patients. However, stone extraction is impossible by the usual methods in 5 to 10% of cases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a
Sublingual drug delivery is an interesting route for drug having significant hepatic first-pass metabolism or requiring rapid pharmacological effect as for patients suffering from swallowing difficulties, nausea or vomiting. Sublingual absorption could however be limited by the kinetic of drug
