Avatar n tn The unit of measurement cited refers to the concentration of ethanol (alcohol) by molecular count. If an ethanol level of 0.10% is equal to 22 mmol/l or 100 mg/dl, then 1 mmol/l would equal an ethanol level of .021%. This is a very low blood alcohol level where the average individual appears normal.
Avatar f tn Oneday, I donated my blood and used the cotton which soaked in ethanol to press on the pinhole. If there are HIV virus in the ethanol, is it risk for me? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Although percutaneous ethanol injection is the most commonly used therapeutic method for treating cystic thyroid nodules in the world, some authors insist on complete evacuation of infused ethanol for prevention of ethanol leakage or other potential complication (6–8), whereas others prefer nonaspiration of infused ethanol for simplicity (1–5).
Avatar n tn Lab tests for ethanol are measured in mg/DL (miligrams per decilitre.) To convert your results to blood alcohol level, move the decimal three places to the left. In your case, your BAC would be 0.18, which is above the legal drinking limit in the USA and Canada.
206807 tn?1331936184 2 percent of all fuels sold—a tiptoe right up to the blend wall, assuming gasoline demand stays at its current level. Ethanol backers have been pushing for years to sell fuels with 15 percent ethanol as a logical step over the blend wall, and hailed Monday’s rule as a move in that direction. But automakers have a different view. Most every vehicle made before 2001 can’t use more than 10 percent ethanol fuel without risking engine or fuel system damage (ethanol can corrode rubber in fuel lines.
168348 tn?1379357075 If you've used Percutaneous Ethanol Injection (PEI) for thyroid cysts, we're trying to build a reference thread sharing your experiences with this treatment. Please feel free to share your results and we'll put this thread into the Health Pages along with the excerpt from the Abstract Article cited below. From what I've heard, this procedure is still not widely used. Many patients are undergoing avoidable surgery when this procedure is used on benign cysts.
Avatar n tn The Pharmacy of Odense University Hospital (Centralapoteket OUH) was responsible for the production of absolute ethanol (800 mg/ml) and isotonic saline, for preparation of bottles labeled "project ethanol vs. saline," and for providing sealed code lists. A pharmacist independent of the investigators provided the investigators with 68 sealed boxes (labeled patient no. 1, 2, etc.).

2102364 tn?1334181277 Hi all, does anyone know or have experience of ethanol injections for hot nodules? In my thyroid book they say it is being done commonly in Italy, but I'm not quite up to that journey.

670556 tn?1242049260 This technique was initially proposed as an alternative to surgery and radioiodine administration in the management of autonomous functioning nodules. While the use of PEI for this purpose has sensibly decreased, ethanol sclerosing properties have been successfully applied in the treatment of thyroid cystic lesions.
Avatar f tn Approximately 10 years ago, percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) was proposed as an alternative to RAI for the treatment of solitary, autonomous thyroid nodules.[66] Since then, PEI has also been used to treat nonfunctioning solid and cystic nodules.[67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74] Injection of 95% ethanol produces nodule shrinkage secondary to coagulative necrosis and thrombosis of small intranodular blood vessels.

Avatar f tn Sometimes ethanol injection can be done after documenting benign cytology by FNA and re-accumulation after 2-3 drainage attempts." Is it best to have my cyst aspirated more than once? It is a large 3.5 cm cyst on my right thyroid lobe. During my FNA biopsy 3 months ago, 30 mL of fluid aspirated. However, it filled back up within 10 days and has steadily increased in size since. This was my only attempt to have it aspirated.
Avatar f tn My doctor has an assistant, not a nurse, who assists her with checking patient vitals, etc. the assistant makes frequent demands for a urine test...4 in the last 8 months which seem excessive to me. She gets quite testy if I am unable to comply and has left an unpleasant message on my phone once. Today she brought me a full paper cup of water and insisted I drink it. Am I legally required to submit to these tests? Is there a certain number of urine tests required per year?
Avatar n tn I am a 34 year old mother and about a year ago I was told that I have 2 cysts in my thyroid. One is in the right lobe and the other on the front resting on my wind pipe. Recently the cysts have started to grow and I am feeling increasing discomfort, especially with the cyst that rests on my wind pipe. My doctor has said that I will probably need the cysts removing, and as you can't just remove the cyst will have to have half of my thyroid removed.
