Original Source: Methanol poisoning: two case studies of blindness in Indonesia.
We report two recent cases of methanol intoxication in French patients living in Bali. These intoxications were secondary to the consumption of adulterated liquor. Both patients presented acute bilateral loss of vision a few days after methanol ingestion with no sign of recovery. The fundus showed bilateral optic atrophy that was well correlated with retinal nerve fibre layer thickness measured with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and compatible with toxic optic neuropathy. In one of the patien...

Macular degeneration in the elderly (AMD) is a major cause of blindness. Its prevalence increases to 30% in patients 75 to 85 years of age. AMD occurs in two forms: dry and wet AMD. Central geograph...
There are many different types of Uveitis. This is because: * The Uvea is made up of different parts. So if the iris is affected, the condition and its treatment could be totally different to when...

Catalysis: A step closer to a methanol economy
A ruthenium catalyst has been developed that, at a few parts per million, releases hydrogen gas from methanol, a simple bulk chemical. The advance might allow methanol to be used as a hydrogen source...
Low-temperature aqueous-phase methanol dehydrogenation to hydrogen and carbon dioxide
Hydrogen produced from renewable resources is a promising potential source of clean energy. With the help of low-temperature proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, molecular hydrogen can be converted ef...
Study cracks a secret of methanol production
Scientists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, and Germany have figured out a key part of the industrial process for making methanol. It’s an important step toward improv...

Methanex Corp., a major producer of the alternative fuel methanol, announced Wednesday that it is moving an idle plant in Chile to Louisiana, creating 130 new jobs for the state.The Vancouver-based c...
Acute alcohol intoxication increases risk of suicide in American Indians
American Indians are at much greater risk of suicide after acute alcohol intoxication, according to a study led by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
A homogeneous transition metal complex for clean hydrogen production from methanol–water mixtures
A ruthenium complex bearing a chemically and redox-non-innocent tetradentate diolefin diazadiene ligand is shown to be an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the conversion of a 1:1 mixture of methanol...
Researchers say sunlight yields more efficient carbon dioxide to methanol model
(University of Texas at Arlington) In a method that is more efficient and inexpensive than current models, researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington are using carbon dioxide, copper oxide n...
