Rate of decrease in serum ethchlorvynol concentrations after extreme overdosage-a case study.

Abstract:

:Ethchlorvynol is a commonly abused sedative hypnotic. I report here a seven-day study of serum ethchlorvynol concentrations in a patient who had received an extreme overdose. These concentrations were correlated with the patient's response to stimuli. Serum ethchlorvynol concentrations were logarithmically related to time, a fact that can be useful in predicting when a patient's serum ethchlorvynol concentration will return to a therapeutic concentration. In this case the decrease was about 35% per 24h.

  • Dual-precipitation method evaluated for determination of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), HDL2, and HDL3 cholesterol concentrations.

    abstract::We evaluated a dual-precipitation method for determining cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and its subfractions HDL2 and HDL3. After total HDL was isolated by precipitation of very-low-density (VLDL) and low-density (LDL) lipoproteins with polyethylene glycol (Mr 8000), HDL2 was isolated from total HDL by ...
