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.

Secondary objectives To assess whether the benefits and harms of air compared with supplemental oxygen differ according to different oxygen concentrations, gestational age (GA),...
- Exosomes of different cellular origins: prospects and challenges in the treatment of acute lung injury after burnsby Shuo Zhang on December 20, 2024
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical clinical disease caused by direct factors (inhalation injury, gastroesophageal reflux, etc.) or indirect factors (including infection, sepsis, burn, shock, trauma, acute pancreatitis, fat embolism, drug overdose, etc.). ALI is characterized mainly by diffuse interstitial and alveolar edema caused by an uncontrolled inflammatory response and damage to the alveoli-capillary barrier and has very high morbidity and mortality rates. Currently, there is no...
- Metal Pneumonitis from "Non-toxic" Decorative Cake Dust Aspiration: A Case Reportby Taylor Sanders on December 20, 2024
CONCLUSION: Non-edible metallic cake dusts are toxic. "Non-edible" labeling does not convey the health risks associated with handling by children, as evidenced by this case of metal pneumonitis with associated ARDS and chronic pulmonary disease. Accordingly, this descriptor should be abandoned for these products, and physicians should be aware of this potential complication.
