In 1954, Lindström married Agnes Ronavec and they had four children: Karl, Peter, Michael and Brita. [1] [2] [5] Lindström taught neurosurgery at the University of California, Los Angeles. [6] [7] He also taught medicine at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Utah. [1]
The more popular methods for production of ethanol and cellulosic ethanol use enzymes that must be isolated first to be added to the biomass and thus convert the starch or cellulose into simple sugars, followed then by yeast fermentation into ethanol. This process does not need the addition of such enzymes as these microorganisms make their own.
Alcohol inhalation is a method of administering alcohol directly into the respiratory system, with aid of a vaporizing or nebulizing device or bag. It is chiefly applied for recreational use, when it is also referred to as alcohol smoking, but it has medical applications for testing on laboratory rats, and treatment of pulmonary edema and viral pneumonia.
Disulfiram-alcohol reaction (DAR) is the effect of the interaction in the human body of alcohol drunk with disulfiram or some types of mushrooms. [1] [2] The DAR is key to disulfiram therapy that is widely used for alcohol-aversive treatment and management of other addictions (e.g. cocaine [3] [4] use).
From this project, they built a 2-acre system with over 6,000 photobioreactors and they were able to operate 4,000 of these for over 500 days. While this project made significant progress towards large-scale algal biofuel production, the 2015 report from the Department of Energy notes that it is "unclear whether closed photobioreactors will ...
Ethanol does not bind to plasma proteins or other biomolecules. [13] [2] [3] The rate of distribution depends on blood supply, [4] specifically the cross-sectional area of the local capillary bed and the blood flow per gram of tissue. [13] As such, ethanol rapidly affects the brain, liver, and kidneys, which have high blood flow. [2]
The microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) is an alternate pathway of ethanol metabolism that occurs in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. While playing only a minor role in ethanol metabolism in average individuals, MEOS activity increases after chronic alcohol consumption.
The three main systems affected by ethylene glycol poisoning are the central nervous system, metabolic processes, and the kidneys. [7] The central nervous system is affected early in the course of poisoning as the result of a direct action of ethylene glycol. Similar to ethanol, it causes intoxication, followed by drowsiness or coma. [7]
