Foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes in Salix bebbiana respond to light and soil factors [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
Foliar exchange of methane and nitrous oxide is a significant yet poorly understood component of global greenhouse gas budgets. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes in Salix bebbiana, under varying light ...

Recovery profile of desflurane with air or nitrous oxide in patients undergoing general anesthesia – A prospective cohort study [PDF]

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology
Background and Aims: Desflurane helps in prompt awakening when discontinued. Since desflurane has a lesser blood: gas solubility than nitrous oxide, we hypothesized that use of air with desflurane would result in a rapid recovery compared to desflurane ...

Subacute combined degeneration from nitrous oxide abuse [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Nitrous oxide is an anesthetic medication which can also be recreationally abused in the form of whippet canisters. Its prolonged abuse can interfere with Vitamin B12 metabolism and lead to its functional deficiency.

Nitrous oxide inhalation-induced cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a 20-year-old man: A case report

Heliyon, 2023
Nitrous oxide is increasingly abused in the young population and has been verified to induce neuropathy, myelopathy, encephalopathy, and thrombosis. Nitrous oxide-related thrombosis was identified in the coronary artery, ascending aorta, pulmonary artery,

Frequency and clinical characteristics of nitrous oxide use disorder among French health professions students

European Psychiatry, 2023
Introduction Nitrous oxide recreational use and abuse has significantly increased in recent years among youth. To our knowledge, no previous study investigated the frequency and characteristics of N2O use disorder. Objectives To assess the frequency and

Neurologic and Thrombotic Complications in the Setting of Chronic Nitrous Oxide Abuse

Case Reports in Medicine, 2023
Nitrous oxide is a commonly used inhaled anesthetic for medical procedures, as well as a drug of abuse throughout the world. Excessive nitrous oxide inhalation has been shown to cause a functional vitamin B12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia, which ...

Wastewater-influenced estuaries are characterized by disproportionately high nitrous oxide emissions but overestimated IPCC emission factor

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Estuaries play an important role in the global nitrous oxide budget. However, considerable uncertainties exist in estimating their nitrous oxide emissions, largely due to anthropogenic impacts, particularly wastewater discharge.

Estimating global nitrous oxide emissions by lichens and bryophytes with a process-based productivity model [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Nitrous oxide is a strong greenhouse gas and atmospheric ozone-depleting agent which is largely emitted by soils. Recently, lichens and bryophytes have also been shown to release significant amounts of nitrous oxide.
