Effects of alcohol and sleep restriction on simulated driving performance in untreated patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Because of previous sleep disturbance and sleep hypoxia, patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might be more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol and sleep restriction than healthy persons. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of ... Read more...

Positive serum ethanol level and mortality in moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Aug 2009 HYPOTHESIS: Ethanol exposure is associated with decreased mortality in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. DESIGN: Retrospective database review. SETTING: Trauma centers contributing to the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB). ... Read more...

Oenanthe javanica extract accelerates ethanol metabolism in ethanol-treated animals.

29 Aug 2009 The effect of water dropwort (Oenanthe javanica DC) extract in eliminating ethanol was evaluated in New Zealand white rabbit and ICR mice. When a hot-water extract of water dropwort extract and ethanol was injected into New Zealand white rabbit, the ... Read more...
