The effect of different contextual stimuli on different ethanol-induced internal states was investigated during the time course of both the hypothermic effect of the drug and of drug tolerance. Minimitters were surgically implanted in 16 Wistar rats to assess changes in their body temperature under the effect of ethanol. Rat groups were submitted to ethanol or saline trials every other day. The...

We evaluated the efficacy of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) as a therapeutic option for recurrence of secondary hyperparathyroidism after subtotal parathyroidectomy in ESRD patients. Six patients underwent PEIT. A mean of 1.3 ± 0.8 ethanol injections was performed. Nodular volume was 1.5 ± 1.7 cm(3), and 2.8 ± 2.8 cm(3) of ethanol was injected per patient. After ethanol injection...

Objective: The objective was to simply and effectively treat oral haemangiomas without complications using ethanol injection. Methods: As much blood as possible was aspirated from a haemangioma, and then absolute ethanol was injected into the cavity. For especially large haemangiomas, we repeated the treatment. Results: Good results were obtained without complications, no enlargement or recurre...

In this article, the effects of heated ethanol diesel blend on emissions were investigated experimentally. Additionally, effect post-injection strategies in AVL Boost model engine, which has same characteristics as experimental engine running with ethanol-diesel emulsion fuel, was a simulation. special designed mixer, (E10) formed 10% and 2% isopropyl stirred at 40 °C. The temperature kept cons...

In patients who are refractory to medical treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, surgical myomectomy or percutaneous transluminal alcohol septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) is appropriate, with both the procedures having comparable results. In PTSMA ethanol is selectively injected into septal arteries supplying the hypertrophied septal myocardium. The authors describe a case of apical myocar...

The central nervous system plays an important role in regulating sympathetic outflow and arterial pressure in response to ethanol exposure. However, the underlying neural mechanisms have not been fully understood. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that injection of ethanol in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) increases sympathetic outflow, which may require the activation o...
