  3. Methanol toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity

    When the body breaks down methanol it results in the creation of metabolite byproducts such as formaldehyde, formic acid, and formate which cause much of the toxicity. [2] The diagnosis may be suspected when there is acidosis or an increased osmol gap and confirmed by directly measuring blood levels.

  4. Normocytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normocytic_anemia

    an uncompensated increase in plasma volume (e.g., pregnancy, fluid overload); a B2 deficiency [3] a B6 deficiency [3] or a mixture of conditions producing microcytic and macrocytic anemia. [1] Blood loss, suppressed production of RBCs or hemolysis represent most cases of normocytic anemia.

  5. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    Environmental factors such as temperature and relative humidity can elevate levels because formaldehyde has a high vapor pressure. Formaldehyde levels from building materials are the highest when a building first opens because materials would have less time to off-gas. Formaldehyde levels decrease over time as the sources suppress.

    Over 80 chemicals, including formaldehyde and metallic nanoparticles were reported in e-liquids (2019). [46] E-liquid can contain toxicants and impurities. [47] A 2013 study reported as high as five times the permitted levels of impurities. [47] E-liquids contained low levels of some of tobacco smoke toxicants and small concentrations of ...

  8. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_acidosis

    The typical Western diet generates 75–100 mEq of acid daily, [11] and individuals with normal kidney function increase the production of ammonia to get rid of this dietary acid. As kidney function declines, the tubules lose the ability to excrete excess acid, and this results in buffering of acid using serum bicarbonate, as well as bone and ...

    NAFLD was defined by the presence of excess fat in the liver that cannot be explained by another factor, such as excessive alcohol use (>21 standard drinks/week for men and >14 for women in the USA; >30 g daily for men and >20 g for women in UK and EU, >140 g/week for men and >70 g/week for women in Asia-Pacific), liver injury caused by drugs ...
