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...

Introduction: This work demonstrates the application of in vivo MRS of hyperpolarized [1-C]pyruvate to interrogate a metabolic pathway involved in neither glycolysis nor the Krebs cycle. In particular, ethanol is metabolized in the liver via the breakdown of ethanol to acetaldehyde and acetaldehyde to acetate. These reactions are catalyzed by the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetalde...

In this work, a solid phase spectrophotometric method in association with flow injection analysis for formaldehyde determination has been developed with direct measurement of light-absorption in C(18) material. The 3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine produced from the reaction between formaldehyde and fluoral P was quantitatively retained on C(18) support and the spectrophotometric detection was p...

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...

Varenicline was recently approved as an aid for smoking cessation. Patients treated with varenicline have reported a concomitant reduction in their alcohol consumption. This compound has also been demonstrated to reduce alcohol seeking and consumption in alcohol high-preferring rats. Based on the extensive coabuse of nicotine and alcohol, the aim of the present study was to explore whether inte...
