Fifty-two episodes of homicide-suicide were examined to determine the reasons behind the episodes. Forty-nine of the assailants were male. The major reason for homicide-suicide was breakdown in a relationship (46%), the victim usually being the spouse. Mental illness was the second commonest reason (21%). Physical ill health (11%) and financial stress (10%) were important reasons in older couples. Criminal behaviour was the reason in 11% of cases. Alcohol was detected in 15 (29%) of assailants, with 10 (19%) having a blood-alcohol level over 100mg/100ml. The results are compared with other published studies.

The Individual

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Guardian Angel powder (GA) on the blood alcohol level. According to the experimental protocol, two sets of measurement were performed: modeling the eating and drinking habit of a typical family or social meeting, alcohol containing drinks corresponding to 70 g of pure alcohol and copious amount of food were consumed first without GA powder, then with GA powder. In the latter case GA powder was dissolved in water and one dose was taken before eating, the other one was consumed during eating. Blood samples were hourly collected from the volunteers in both sets for four hours. The measurement of blood alcohol level was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method proceeding to Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME). Our results show that the blood alcohol level decreased significantly when two doses of GA powder were consumed. After two hours of taking GA powder, the blood alcohol level was significantly lower in each volunteers compared to their own blood alcohol level measured in the absence of GA powder. This result shows that the individual variation of the alcohol metabolism does not influence significantly the effect of GA powder. Further studies are needed to investigate the detailed mechanism of the action of GA powder to find out whether GA powder influences the absorption of alcohol or/and the metabolism of alcohol.

Ethanol Poisoning

A 64-year-old woman presented with coma and shock due to severe ethanol intoxication. Her initial, markedly elevated blood alcohol level of 136.5 mM fell only by 16% after a 4-hour period of conservative treatment consisting of mechanical respiration and the administration of intravenous fluids, vasopressors and inotropics. Subsequent hemodialysis rapidly reduced her blood ethanol concentrations to less threatening Ievels, with prompt restoration of her consciousness. Hemodialysis may be Iife-saving and should be considered in patients with severe ethanol intoxication.

Inhibition Of Metabolism

It was previously observed in man that chlorpromazine elevated the blood alcohol level above that expected after a standard dose of ethanol. The present study shows a similar elevation of blood alcohol in rabbits; furthermore, this elevation occurs whether the ethanol is given orally or intravenously. The magnitude of the elevation is less with intravenously administered alcohol. Since an increased absorption rate might explain this difference in magnitude, a detailed analysis of factors influencing absorption was done. Since chlorpromazine inhibits the sympathetic nervous system centrally and the parasympathetic peripherally, other autonomic blocking agents were studied for their effects on the blood alcohol level: reserpine was used for central sympathetic inhibition, atropine for peripheral parasympathetic inhibition, and hexamethonium for dual inhibition. Since none of these agents affected the blood alcohol level, nor did chlorpromazine elevate the blood level of other substances absorbed in a manner similar to ethanol, it was concluded that no part of the effect was due to an increase in absorption but that the effect probably was due entirely to an inhibition of metabolism.
