In the present study, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) with 44 mol % ethylene content (EVOH44) was managed to be processed, for first time, by electrospinning assisted coaxial technology of solvent jacket. addition this, different suspensions cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), contents ranging from 0.1 1.0 wt %, were also electrospun obtain hybrid bio-/non-bio nanocomposites. The resultant fiber mat...

Alcohol-related intoxications, including methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and propylene glycol, and alcoholic ketoacidosis can present with a high anion gap metabolic acidosis and increased serum osmolal gap, whereas isopropanol intoxication presents with hyperosmolality alone. The effects of these substances, except for isopropanol and possibly alcoholic ketoacidosis, are due to t...

       The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of additives, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 1450, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium chloride in order to improve physico-chemical characteristics, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of bovine serum albumin, form poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles prepared by the w/o/w solvent evaporation...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review English-language articles on fomepizole administration in patients with ethylene glycol poisoning. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents, and PubMed. Search terms were fomepizole, 4-methylpyrazole, and ethylene glycol. The search was supplemented with a bibliographic review of all relevant articles. STUDY SELECTION All published reports of fomepiz...

In the present research, synthesis of new 2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives bearing Nbenzylidene, 1,2,4-triazole and N-acylhydrazone moiety is investigated. These novel compounds have been tested for their antimicrobial effects against two of Gram-positive bacterial strains, namely Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and four Gram-negative bacterial strains which wer...

Clinical and forensic laboratories frequently have to face cases of severe intoxication from ethylene glycol, because of its wide availability, and thus its use as an additive in various housekeeping and commercial products such as anti-freezing agent, car batteries and solvents for dyes. The majority of ethylene glycol poisonings is related to suicide attempts (intentional ingestion) and to mi...

Ethylene glycol is a widely used and readily available substance. Ethylene glycol ingestion does not cause direct toxicity; however, its metabolites are highly toxic and can be fatal even in trace amounts. Poisoning is best diagnosed through inquiry, but as an impaired state of consciousness is observed in most cases, poisoning must be suspected when a significantly elevated osmolar gap or high...
