Alcohol-induced liver injury (ALI) has been associated with, among other molecular changes, abnormal hepatic methionine metabolism, resulting in decreased levels of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Dietary methyl donor supplements such as SAM and betaine mitigate ALI in animal models; however, the mechanisms of protection remain elusive. It has been suggested that methyl donors may act via attenuati...

From the time the Leishman stain has been used for staining blood cells and parasites, it has been dissolved in acetone-free good quality methyl alcohol. Dissolving the stain in inferiorquality methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol always gives poor results and hsematologists and parasitologists requiring precision work would always use acetone-free methyl alcohol of the best quality. After the secon...

The clinical presentation of methyl alcohol intoxication in humans may va ry from one ext reme which mimics an intracranial catastrophe to a more subtle picture which may consist only of vague constitutional symptoms and a mild visual disturbance. When many patients with similar complaints and physical findings arrive at a hospital emergency room within a short space of time, it is not difficul...

Vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the surface residence and organization of gas-phase methyl halide and methyl alcohol molecules adsorbed to the air/water interface, while Raman spectroscopy is used to detect the uptake of the gas-phase species into the bulk aqueous phase. Spectroscopy results reveal the presence o...

Dec. 7, 1934, the coroner's office of Multnomah County, Ore., was he ^,t called on to investigate the death of a man who died from so-called s J' denatured or "dehorn" alcohol poisoning. The death of this man was followed in dramatic and rapid succession by the deaths of twenty-one oth ers in the two succeeding days. All of these victims were known to law enforcement officers as having an addic...

BACKGROUND Methyl alcohol poisoning has been mainly reported in community. Two cases of methyl alcohol poisoning occurred in a small-sized subcontracted factory which manufactured smartphone parts in Korea. CASE PRESENTATION One young female patient presented with dyspnea and visual disturbance. Another young male patient presented with visual disturbance and myalgia. They treated with sodium...

Background: In Iran, methyl alcohol poisoning rarely occurs accidentally and usually occurs through abuse of contaminated ethanol. However, with proper and timely treatment complications and mortality of methanol poisoning can be prevented. In this study, the epidemiological profile of methanol poisoning in the Iranian society was investigated. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study...
