Low-pressure storms drive nitrous oxide emissions in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Nature Communications
Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas and the primary ozone-depleting agent of the 21st century, but marine emissions of nitrous oxide remain difficult to constrain due to their spatiotemporal variability.

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

Recreational use of nitrous oxide causes seizure, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pneumopericardium: nitrous oxide and its harm, a case report

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as ‘laughing gas’, has become a popular recreational drug. Whippets, small canisters containing gas in pressurized form, can be easily obtained from a food store.

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.

Psychedelic concentrations of nitrous oxide reduce functional differentiation in frontoparietal and somatomotor cortical networks

Communications Biology, 2023
Despite the longstanding use of nitrous oxide and descriptions of its psychological effects more than a century ago, there is a paucity of neurobiological investigation of associated psychedelic experiences.

A retrospective cohort study on red blood cell morphology changes in pre-school age children under nitrous oxide anesthesia

BMC Anesthesiology, 2021
Background Megaloblastic anemia or bone marrow changes could occur after prolonged nitrous oxide inhalation via vitamin B12 inactivation related DNA synthesis impairment. Previous researches have studied hematological changes with nitrous oxide exposure,

Sevoflurane concentration for cannulation in developmental disabilities

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022
Objective The goal of this study was to compare the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration and time for intravenous cannulation at induction of anesthesia using sevoflurane with or without nitrous oxide in healthy children and in those with developmental ...
