INHALANT USE DISORDER
What is inhalant use disorder? It is a problem that can develop when people deliberately breathe in the fumes of various substances, in order to experience intoxication. Basically, the disorder develops in people who frequently use inhalants as a recreational drug.
Overview from Wikipedia: Inhalant Use Disorder
Age Onset: Children and young teenagers.
Symptoms: Since the inhalants (even household chemicals) are heavier than oxygen when breathing, there is frequently brain damage or death through suffocation.
Causes: Specifically for inhaling glue, 38 U. S. states prohibit glue sales when inhaling is anticipated.

- Longitudinal changes in serum immunoglobulin G testing in patients with fibrotic avian hypersensitivity pneumonitisby Ryo Okuda on May 18, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with fibrotic avian HP, the annual changes in serum IgG testing were correlated with FVC changes, highlighting the importance of serum IgG testing over time.
- Estimated relative potential for airborne SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a day care centreby Ilpo Kulmala on May 17, 2024
We estimated the hourly probability of airborne severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission and further the estimated number of persons at transmission risk in a day care centre by calculating the inhaled dose for airborne pathogens based on their concentration, exposure time and activity. Information about the occupancy and activity of the rooms was collected from day care centre personnel and building characteristics were obtained from the design values. The generation...
- Impact of Indacaterol/Glycopyrrolate on Pulmonary Function and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Score in Individuals with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseaseby Jie Chen on May 17, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: In treatment of stable COPD patients, the combination of indacaterol/glycopyrrolate with carbocisteine tablets enhances pulmonary function, alleviates airway inflammatory reactions, improves clinical efficacy, enhances psychological resilience, and elevates the quality of life compared to carbocisteine tablets alone. These findings underscore the potential therapeutic benefits of the combined compound preparation in managing stable COPD.
- In Vivo Modeling of Cryptococcus neoformans Infection and Collection of Murine Samplesby Ben Muselius on May 17, 2024
In vivo models provide advantages to study the progression of disease and to identify potential biomarkers to detect and monitor infections. For the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, murine intranasal models aim to recapitulate natural infection from inhalation of desiccated fungal cells from the environment and permit monitoring of disease over time. In this chapter, we describe the establishment of a murine model for cryptococcosis and the subsequent collection of organs, tissues,...
