Ethylene glycol, methanol, and diethylene glycol are readily available in many household and commercially available products. While these alcohols are relatively nontoxic themselves, their acidic metabolites are toxic and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Herein we report a lethal case of massive ethylene glycol ingestion in a suicide with a record high level (1254 mg/dL) and i...

DGBA 1 Diethylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether Acetate (CAS# 124-17-4) (Synonyms: Butyl carbitol acetate; Butyl diglycol acetate; 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol acetate; 2(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate; Acetic acid 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethyl ester; Butoxyethoxyethyl acetate; Butyl carbitol acetate; Butyl diethylene glycol acetate; Diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate; Diglycol monobutyl ether acetate; Ektas...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used, and many biologically active molecules are modified with oligoethylene glycol substituents to enhance their half-lives in circulation. The pervasive use of PEG substituents is partly due to their presumed inertness. Our investigation of formyl peptide receptor (FPR)-mediated chemotaxis reveals that oligoethylene glycol substitution can enhance the abili...

In this research nano particles of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion route. The effect of water and ethylene glycol solvents were studied on phase constituents, magnetic properties and microstructure of the bismuth ferrite by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. XRD resul...

INTRODUCTION The use and clinical efficacy of the alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor fomepizole is well established for the treatment of ethylene glycol and methanol poisonings in adults. METHODS A computerized search of the U.S. National Academy of medicine and EMBase databases was undertaken to identify published cases of patients treated with fomepizole. This search strategy identified 14 pub...

Considerable interest has recently been evoked in the study of proteins in nonaqueous solvents, very largely as a result of the observations of Rees and Singer (1) and Yang and Doty (2) that the internal configuration of protein molecules could be radically altered in nonaqueous media, as reflected by changes in sedimentation constants, viscosity increments, and optical rotatory dispersion. Of ...

Frothers havea profoundeffectonbubble size and also flotation efficiency. In present study the effect of type and dosage of frothers on the flotation response of coarse particles of quartz was investigated.  Therefore, flotation response of coarse particles using frothers such as MIBC, pine oil, poly propylene glycol with concentration of 0, 25, 50 and 75...

Background This study aimed to determine effects of synbiotics on treatment of functional constipation in children aged 2-10 years old. Materials and Methods This randomized single blind clinical trial study carried out on children who had functional constipation based on the Rome III criteria. The  polyethylene glycol + synbiotic group (P+S group, n=38)received the synbiotic with polyethylene ...

although antidote development should proceed in an orderly fashion from observation, to experimental and safety studies, to clinical trials, this sequence is not always precisely followed. the development of fomepizole as an antidote for toxic alcohol and glycol poisoning is an example of how this may not be the case. interest in the development of fomepizole was spurred in the 1960s. shortly t...

to determine the effects of priming and planting density on improvement of morphological and physiological traits of the two hybrid corns sc (s.c. 704) under double cropping in sari, a split plot experiment as randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2010. treatments included two densities of 80 and 100 thousand plants per hectare as the first factor and osmoprim...
