nitrous oxide and Nerve Degeneration

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 10 studies

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.
dinitrogen oxide : A nitrogen oxide consisting of linear unsymmetrical molecules with formula N2O. While it is the most used gaseous anaesthetic in the world, its major commercial use, due to its solubility under pressure in vegetable fats combined with its non-toxicity in low concentrations, is as an aerosol spray propellant and aerating agent for canisters of 'whipped' cream.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" However, persisting neurological signs despite adequate treatment lately led to diagnose subacute combined medullar degeneration due to abnormal cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism induced by repeated use of nitrous oxide during painful episodes of sickle-cell disease."3.80[Vitamin B12 deficiency due to nitrous oxide use: unrecognized cause of combined spinal cord degeneration]. ( Cabral, D; Chaugny, C; Collin-Masson, H; De Beauchêne, M; Fagniez, O; Simon, J; Veyssier-Belot, C, 2014)
