Cyanide

|
Cyanide"Poisoning with cyanide, a rapidly acting, potentially deadly chemical that can exist as a colorless gas, such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) or cyanogen chloride (CNCl), or a crystal form such as sodium cyanide (NaCN) or potassium cyanide (KCN). Cyanide sometimes is described as having a ""bitter almond"" smell, but it does not always give off an odor, and not everyone can detect this odor. Cyanide is also known by the military designations AN (for hydrogen cyanide) and CK (for cyanogen chloride). "

Gas
Air that comes from normal breakdown of food which is passed out of the body through the rectum (flatus) or the mouth (burp).
Sodium
A mineral found in most of the foods we eat. The largest source of dietary sodium comes from sodium chloride or table salt. Intake of sodium tends to increase the retention of water.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Cyanocobalamin
Cyanocobalamin is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) approved in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): cyanocobalamin.
Cyanocobalamin co 57 schilling test kit
Cyanocobalamin co 57 schilling test kit is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) approved in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): cyanocobalamin; cyanocobalamin, co-57; intrinsic factor.
Cyanosis
Insufficient oxygen in the blood.
Cyanotic
Showing cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to not enough oxygen in the blood).
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
CVA
Cerebrovascular accident.
CVC
Commonly used abbreviation for a Central Venous Catheter, a catheter (tube) that is passed through a vein to end up in the thoracic (chest) portion of the vena cava (the large vein returning blood to the heart) or in the right atrium of the heart.
CVS
1. Chorionic villus sampling, a procedure for first-trimester prenatal diagnosis. 2. Cyclic vomiting syndrome, also known as abdominal migraine.
CWD
Chronic wasting disease.
CXCR4
A chemokine receptor found on a wide variety of cells that serves as the coreceptor for HIV. HIV strains that use CXCR4 are referred to as X4 viruses.
Cyanide
Cyanotic
Showing cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to not enough oxygen in the blood).
Cycle, cell
The sequence of events within the cell between mitotic (cell) divisions.
Cyclic citrullinated peptide
A circular peptide containing the amino acid citrulline. Abbreviated CCP. Autoantibodies directed against CCP are found in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Cyclic vomiting syndrome
A syndrome characterized by episodes, bouts, or cycles of severe nausea and vomiting that last for hours or even days and alternate with longer asymptomatic periods (with no symptoms). The cause of the syndrome is unknown. Each episode is similar to previous ones and tends to start at about the same time of day, last the same length of time, and present the same symptoms at the same level of intensity. Episodes of CVS can be so severe that a person may have to stay in bed for days, unable to go to school or work. Because other common diseases and disorders can also cause cycles of vomiting, people with the syndrome may initially be misdiagnosed.
Cyclin
One of a group of proteins that regulate the cell cycle. The cyclins bind to and activate cyclin-dependent kinases. The cyclins include cyclin A, cyclin B, cyclin C, cyclin D, cyclin E, cyclin F, cyclin G, cyclin H, cyclin K, and cyclin T.
