|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 일산화탄소의 흡입에 의하여 산화헤모글로빈이 카르복시헤모글로빈으로 변화함으로써 일어나는 중독. 중추신경계장애를 일으키고 죽음에 이르기고 한다. 일산화탄소는 탄소를 함유한 유기물이 불완전연소할 때 발생한다. 따라서 제철, 도시가스 제조, 가정에서 발생하며 자동차 배기가스에도 포함되어 있고 가정에서 연료의 연소에 의해서도 생긴다. 일산화탄소를 흡입하면 폐에서 혈액속의 혈색소와 결합하여 일산화탄소헤모글로빈을 형성하고, 이 때문에 혈액의 산소운반능력이 상실되어 내부적인 질식상태에 빠지게 된다. 일산화탄소와 헤모글로빈과의 친화성은 극히 강하여 산소보다 250배의 세기로 결합한다. 사람에 따라 일산화탄소에 대한 감수성이 다르지만, 공기 속에 0.001%만 들어있어도 중독을 일으킨다. 또 0.06%에서는 1시간만 흡입하면 두통을 일으키고 2시간이면 실신한다. 또 0.1%을 경우는 1시간 이내에 실신하고 4시간이면 사망한다. 중독 증세는 조직의 무산소증에 의한 것으로서, 급성중독은 급격히 사망하는 수도 있지만, 대개는 처음에 두통-현기증-귀울림-구역-구토 등이 있고, 사지의 운동이 불가능하게 되며, 다소의 의식이 남아 있어도 그대로 죽음에 이르게 된다. 타각적으로는 얼굴에 홍조를 띠고 전신에 무늬 모양의 발적이 나타나며, 호흡이 가늘고 불규칙하게 된다. 코를 골고 체온이 내려가고 전신의 근육 이온 등이 보이며, 호흡곤란의 증세가 보이지 않는 중에 호흡이 정지하게 된다. |

| 설명 | 크림이 들어 있는 과자, 커스타드(custards), 치즈와 같은 식품이나, 육류에 황색 포도알균이 생성하는 창자관독이 함유된 것을 섭취하여 일어나는 식중독으로서 갑작스러운 발병, 두통, 침분비, 구역, 구토, 설사, 복부산통 및 땀남을 특징으로 하며, 발작 후 5~6시간 지속한다. |

| RAIU | Radio-Active Iodine Uptake |
| AIIT | amiodarone-iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis |
| iodine-123 | <radiobiology> A radioisotope of iodine with a 159 keV gamma emission and a physical half-life of 13.2 hr, frequently used for studies of thyroid disease and of renal function. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| iodine-125 | <radiobiology> Radioactive iodine isotope that decays by K-capture (internal conversion) with a half-life of 59.4 days; used as a tracer in thyroid studies and as a label in immunoassay and in imaging. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine-127 | <radiobiology> Stable, nonradioactive iodine, the most abundant iodide isotope found in nature; dietary deficiency causes simple goiter; used to block thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine released from nuclear accidents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine-131 | <radiobiology> A radioactive iodine isotope, 364 keV peak beta and gamma emitter with a half-life of 8 days. It is used as a tracer in thyroid studies, as therapy in hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and heart disease, and as a label in immunoassay and imaging. (22 Sep 2002) |
| iodine-132 | <radiobiology> A beta-and gamma-emitting radioisotope of iodine with a physical half-life of 2.28 hr, usually obtained from a tellurium-132 radionuclide generator; its clinical use has been supplanted by 131I and 123I. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain iodine as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodine cysts | An obsolete term used to indicate the cyst's of Iodamoeba butschlii, characterised by a large iodine-positive glycogen vacuole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine deficiency | Iodine is a natural requirement of our diets. Iodine deficiency can lead to inadequate production of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). For example, in some parts of zaire, ecuador, india, and chile, remote, mountainous areas, such as in the alps (in the past), andes and the himalayas have a particular predisposition to severe iodine deficiency, goiter, and hypothyroidism. Since the addition of iodine to table salt, iodine deficiency is rarely seen in the united states. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodine excess | Just as too little iodine can cause thyroid disease, so may prolonged intake of too much iodine also lead to the development of goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland) and hypothyroidism (abnormally low thyroid activity). Certain foods and medications contain large amounts of iodine. Examples include seaweed; iodine-rich expectorants (such as sski and lugol's solution) used in the treatment of cough, asthma, chronic pulmonary disease; and amiodarone (cardorone), an iodine-rich medication used in the control of abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias). (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodine-fast | Denoting hyperthyroidism unresponsive to iodine therapy, which develops frequently in most cases so treated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine-induced hyperthyroidism | <endocrinology> Induction of thyrotoxicosis in a previously euthyroid individual as a result of exposure to large quantities of iodine. It occurs most often in areas of endemic iodine-deficient goiter and in patients with multinodular goiter. It can also can develop following use of iodine-containing agents for diagnostic studies. Synonym: iodine-induced hyperthyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine isotopes | Stable iodine atoms that have the same atomic number as the element iodine, but differ in atomic weight. I-127 is the only naturally occurring stable iodine isotope. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodine number | An indication of the quantity of unsaturated fatty acids present in a fat; it represents the number of grams of iodine absorbed by each 100 g of fat. See: hydrogen number. Synonym: iodine value. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine radioisotopes | Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodine reaction of epinephrine | A reaction resulting from the oxidation of the hormone, a faint pink colour appearing upon the addition of iodine. (05 Mar 2000) |
