The present study tested the effect of the combined use of alcohol and water on driving-related cognitions and behavior. Seventy-four female students performed a driving simulator task after having consumed alcohol or a placebo. Additionally, half of the participants consumed 0.5 liter of water. It was hypothesized that combining alcohol and water could lead to an underestimated perceived intox...

Mice deficient in the glial water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) show decreased cerebral edema and improved neurological outcome following water intoxication or ischemic challenge. In this report, we tested seizure susceptibility in AQP4 mice. AQP4 mice and wild-type controls were given the chemoconvulsant pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and monitored for seizure activity. At 40 mg/kg PTZ, all wild-type mi...

Water obtained from a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell was subjected to chemical, organoleptic, and microbiological analyses and found to be acceptable according to the U. S. Public Health Service Standards. To ascertain the acceptability of this water, eight male subjects were confined to a self-care unit at Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton, Ohio, for a 2-week period and served a controlled 4-meal-perda...

carbamazepine are very similar to the clinical features of water intoxication. Dizziness, headaches, nausea, and mental confusion may occur with both, although it is not known what proportion of patients who develop these side effects on carbamazepine do so because of a fall in the plasma osmolality. When untoward symptoms develop during treatment and subside after the dose is reduced the mecha...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic criteria for bathtub drownings are not standardized, and the risk factors associated with bath-related deaths are unclear. METHODS We analyzed a Korean nationwide database of bath-related deaths that occurred between January 2008 and December 2015. Eighty-four cases were enrolled after reviewing 31,123 autopsy records. RESULTS The subjects' ages ranged from 18 to 9...

abstract we report a case of paint thinner intoxication by inhalation, with rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, skin lesions and severe sciatic nerve lesion at gluteal region.
