methemoglobinemia/albumin

In the present study both the biotransformation patterns and the capacity to induce methemoglobinemia of a series of fluoronitrobenzenes were investigated. This was done to investigate to what extent variation in the number and position of the halogen substituents influence the metabolic fate of the

BACKGROUND Methemoglobinemia is a recognized complication of topical anesthesia with benzocaine during transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Though several risk factors have been described, the importance of individual factors is not known. We performed a retrospective study to identify

Two groups of four beagle dogs each were exposed head-only to aniline vapor in concentrations of 155 or 174 mg/m(3) air for a duration of 4 h in order to attain a targeted total exposure dose of approximately 15 mg aniline/kg body weight. One group of dogs received this calculated dose also by

Methylene blue is a phenothiazine agent, that possesses a diversity of biomedical and biological therapeutic purpose, and it has also become the lead compound for the exploitation of other pharmaceuticals such as chlorpromazine and the tricyclic antidepressants. However, the U.S. Food and Drug

OBJECTIVE To determine whether photochemical method can inactivate viruses in human plasma efficiently, and to what extent it affects the protein in human plasma. METHODS Vascular stomatitis virus (VSV) Indiana strain was used as the indicating virus. It was inoculated on Vero cell monolayer,

We report a case of blackwater fever with brown plasma due to the presence of methemalbumin. The discovery of plasma with this color is a rare event at the laboratory. This compound appears during intravascular hemolysis or hemorrhagic pancreatitis when the ability of haptoglobin and hemopexin to

Oxidant stress is an imbalance between radical-generating and radical-scavenging activity, resulting in oxidation products and tissue damage. The present study aimed to estimate oxidation and antioxidant status in blood of camels naturally infected with Trypanosoma evansi. Blood samples from T.

BACKGROUND Methylene bis(thiocyanate) (MBT) is a microbiocidal agent mainly used in industrial water cooling systems and paper mills as an inhibitor of algae, fungi, and bacteria. METHODS We describe the first case of severe intoxication following inhalation of powder in an industrial worker.

This study was performed to identify clinical factors that facilitate the diagnosis of typical cow's milk protein-induced enterocolitis (CMPIE). Data from 142 consecutive patients (aged 15 to 45 days, cow's milk formula- or cow's milk and breast milk mixed-fed) admitted due to vomiting and/or
