A bedside test for methanol poisoning
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new bedside tool to quickly diagnose methanol poisoning in people who may have drunk contaminated alcohol or have unexplained high acid levels. Early diagnosis can help start the right treatment faster.

This trial looks at a fast blood test (capillary HbCO) to measure carbon monoxide poisoning in people coming to the ER with possible CO symptoms. It could help doctors diagnose and treat CO poisoning quicker.
This study looks at a blood test that may tell how much alcohol a person has had recently, even after they've stopped drinking. It may help doctors better understand drinking patterns and health risks.
This study takes and stores blood (and DNA) from people who were sick from carbon monoxide exposure. It’s meant to help researchers better understand the condition and what happens in the body after exposure.
This trial tests whether giving a special ketone drink to patients in the ICU can reduce or treat delirium (confusion). If you or a loved one is in the ICU, this treatment might help clear up confusion faster.
This study tests whether a ketone supplement affects how the brain uses energy and whether it can reduce alcohol cravings and drinking. If you drink regularly but aren't looking for treatment, you may be able to join.
