THE ability of redox drugs and chemicals to induce hemolytic anemia associated with methemoglobin and the formation of Heinz bodies in red blood cells has long been known,1 and the mechanism of the ...

Homma 19 states that permanganate causes methemoglobin formation in vitro but not in vivo. Palmieri, 20 in a fatal case caused by the suicidal ingestion of about 25 gm. of potassium permanganate, ...

Cyanide also preferentially binds to the ferric ion of methemoglobin, ... since the formation of cyanomethemoglobin can potentially be misread as methemoglobin formation by an oximeter during ...

Medications, foods, and water containing nitrites and nitrates may also induce methemoglobin formation that may be additive to that formed with benzocaine products.

Potentially harmful levels of methemoglobin, which can build in patients receiving certain anesthetics, can be detected using a new, non-invasive monitoring technique called pulse CO-oximetry ...

Prompt diagnosis, removal of toxic drugs, and treatment can quickly reverse methemoglobin (MetHb) formation. We report a case of methemoglobinemia in which cyclophosphamide is the likely etiologic ...

Thus, when this transition occurs, there is a time when the signal is isointense on T1-weighted scans. If one looks closely at the T1-weighted scan, one can see a faint rim of bright signal. This ...

According to ABC News, the Fugates most likely suffered from a deficiency in the enzyme known as cytochrome-b5 methemoglobin reductase, which causes recessive congenital methemoglobinemia.

Since the formation of methemoglobin reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin, higher doses of iNO may decrease oxygen delivery even though the measured PaO 2 has increased. Laboratory ...
