As many of the clinical signs and symptoms of ethylene glycol poisoning are nonspecific and occur in many poisonings; the diagnosis is often difficult. [24] It is most reliably diagnosed by the measurement of the blood ethylene glycol concentration. Ethylene glycol in biological fluids can be determined by gas chromatography. [25]
The ethylene glycol either gains energy from the source (lake, ocean, water well) or dissipates heat to the sink, depending on whether the system is being used for heating or cooling. Pure ethylene glycol has a specific heat capacity about one half that of water. So, while providing freeze protection and an increased boiling point, ethylene ...
The most common causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis are: ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, kidney failure, and toxic ingestions. [3]Ketoacidosis can occur as a complication of diabetes mellitus (diabetic ketoacidosis), but can occur due to other disorders, such as chronic alcoholism and malnutrition.
About 20% to 27% of propylene glycol and glycerin-based liquid particles are inhaled. [204] A 2016 study reported that 6% of nicotine, 8% of propylene glycol, and 16% of glycerin was breathed out by e-cigarette users. [52]: 162 The long-term effects of inhaled propylene glycol has not been studied, [168] and is unknown. [137]
Diabetes is very common. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that 38.4 million people in the United States are currently living with diabetes. That’s 11.6 percent of the ...
Endocrinologists share uncommon symptoms of diabetes that may indicate type 1, type 2, or prediabetes. Some signs include infections and dry skin.
It's another reason to stop vaping in the new year. According to research, vaping, like smoking, has an immediate negative effect on the user’s blood flow — even if the vape does not contain ...
The symptoms of an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis usually evolve over a period of about 24 hours. Predominant symptoms are nausea and vomiting, pronounced thirst, excessive urine production and abdominal pain that may be severe. [13] [14] In severe DKA, breathing becomes rapid and of a deep, gasping character, called "Kussmaul breathing".
