Fatal Methaemoglobin Intoxication Following Ketamine Infusion in a Depressed MELAS Patient: A Possible Association? [PDF]
Methemoglobinemia is defined as an increase in methemoglobin of > 2% of hemoglobin. Ketamine is increasingly used for severe depression. To our knowledge, a patient with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) who ...

Prilocaine-Induced Methemoglobinemia During Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE) Under General Anesthesia: A Case Report [PDF]
Methemoglobinemia is a condition in which methemoglobin levels in the blood increase. Methemoglobin lacks oxygen-binding ability, resulting in oxygen deprivation in tissues.

Hemoglobin derivatives are often quantified in blood to establish cardio-respiratory status and possible causes of impaired oxygen transport. The derivative known as methemoglobin results from oxidation of hemoglobin and is pathologically relevant ...

Detecting Methemoglobinemia in Animals with a Drop of Blood. [PDF]
A major concern during pesticide development and use is the impact on non-target species, such as raptors or domestic cats and dogs. Sodium nitrite and para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) are two toxicants currently being studied for the control of invasive ...

Methemoglobin as a marker of acute anemic stress in cardiac surgery
Summary: Biological evidence supports plasma methemoglobin as a biomarker for anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. In this translational planned substudy of the multinational randomized controlled transfusion thresholds in cardiac surgery (TRICS-III) trial ...

Circulating Methemoblogin Fraction in Dogs With Sepsis
Large amount of nitric oxide (NO) can be released in patients with sepsis. Methemoglobin is formed from the interaction between NO and hemoglobin. Mild methemoglobinemia reflecting NO overproduction has been reported in septic people, and occasionally ...

Phagocytic uptake of oxidized heme polymer is highly cytotoxic to macrophages. [PDF]
Apoptosis in macrophages is responsible for immune-depression and pathological effects during malaria. Phagocytosis of PRBC causes induction of apoptosis in macrophages through release of cytosolic factors from infected cells.

Statement of the Problem: Methemoglobinemia is a potentially life-threatening rare medical condition, which refers to an increase in the level of oxidized form of hemoglobin (methemoglobin). Excessive replacement of hemoglobin with methemoglobin leads to

Hemoglobin Derivatives in Beef Irradiated with Accelerated Electrons
The efficiency of food irradiation depends on the accuracy of the irradiation dose range that is sufficient for inhibiting microbiological growth without causing an irreversible change to the physical and chemical properties of foods. This study suggests
