ethylene glycol and Central Nervous System Diseases

ethylene glycol has been researched along with Central Nervous System Diseases in 3 studies

Ethylene Glycol: A colorless, odorless, viscous dihydroxy alcohol. It has a sweet taste, but is poisonous if ingested. Ethylene glycol is the most important glycol commercially available and is manufactured on a large scale in the United States. It is used as an antifreeze and coolant, in hydraulic fluids, and in the manufacture of low-freezing dynamites and resins.
ethanediol : Any diol that is ethane or substituted ethane carrying two hydroxy groups.
ethylene glycol : A 1,2-glycol compound produced via reaction of ethylene oxide with water.

Central Nervous System Diseases: Diseases of any component of the brain (including the cerebral hemispheres, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum) or the spinal cord.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The first patient was paralyzed following the ingestion of a large quantity of ethylene glycol and the second by botulism due to the consumption of injudiciously canned food."4.81[Totally paralyzed or brain dead?]. ( Eurelings, M; Jansen, GH; van Dijk, GW; van Gijn, J; Vos, PE, 2001)
"To correlate serum glycolic acid levels with clinical severity and outcome in ethylene glycol poisoning and to determine if glycolic acid levels are predictive of renal failure and the need for hemodialysis."3.71Ethylene glycol toxicity: the role of serum glycolic acid in hemodialysis. ( Bush, BA; Dunnington, JE; Pappas, AA; Porter, WH; Rutter, PW, 2001)
"In considering the diagnosis 'brain death', the most important criterion is that the cause of the brain damage is established."2.41[Totally paralyzed or brain dead?]. ( Eurelings, M; Jansen, GH; van Dijk, GW; van Gijn, J; Vos, PE, 2001)
"Hematuria was more prevalent than oxaluria (86% and 41%, respectively), but neither was individually predictive of acute renal failure."1.31Ethylene glycol toxicity: the role of serum glycolic acid in hemodialysis. ( Bush, BA; Dunnington, JE; Pappas, AA; Porter, WH; Rutter, PW, 2001)
