an enzyme that transfers acyl groups from acyl-coa to glycerol-3-phosphate to form monoglyceride phosphates. it acts only with coa derivatives of fatty acids of chain length above c-10. also forms diglyceride phosphates. ec 2.3.1.15.Glycerolphosphate Dehydrogenase
Glycerophosphates
any salt or ester of glycerophosphoric acid.Glyceryl Ethers
compounds in which one or more of the three hydroxyl groups of glycerol are in ethereal linkage with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohol; one or two of the hydroxyl groups of glycerol may be esterified. these compounds have been found in various animal tissue.Glycerylphosphorylcholine
a component of phosphatidylcholines or lecithins, in which the two hydroxy groups of glycerol are esterified with fatty acids. (from stedman, 26th ed)Guaifenesin
an expectorant that also has some muscle relaxing action. it is used in many cough preparations.Monoacylglycerol Lipases
an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycerol monoesters of long-chain fatty acids ec 3.1.1.23.Phosphatidylglycerols
a nitrogen-free class of lipids present in animal and particularly plant tissues and composed of one mole of glycerol and 1 or 2 moles of phosphatidic acid. members of this group differ from one another in the nature of the fatty acids released on hydrolysis.Phospholipid Ethers
phospholipids which have an alcohol moiety in ethereal linkage with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohol. they are usually derivatives of phosphoglycerols or phosphatidates. the other two alcohol groups of the glycerol backbone are usually in ester linkage. these compounds are widely distributed in animal tissues.Teichoic Acids

a plant genus of the family sterculiaceae. s. urens is the source of karaya gum which is sometimes called indian tragacanth, which is different from the true tragacanth which comes from astragalus gummifer.
Coding Guidelines
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), first assign the appropriate code from categories T36-T50. The poisoning codes have an associated intent as their 5th or 6th character (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined. If the intent of the poisoning is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent. The undetermined intent is only for use if the documentation in the record specifies that the intent cannot be determined. Use additional code(s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the gastrointestinal system (T47). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Table of Drugs and Chemicals
The code is referenced in the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, this table contains a classification of drugs, industrial solvents, corrosive gases, noxious plants, pesticides, and other toxic agents.
According to ICD-10-CM coding guidelines it is advised to do not code directly from the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, instead always refer back to the Tabular List when doing the initial coding. Each substance in the table is assigned a code according to the poisoning classification and external causes of adverse effects. It is important to use as many codes as necessary to specify all reported drugs, medicinal or chemical substances. If the same diagnosis code describes the causative agent for more than one adverse reaction, poisoning, toxic effect or underdosing, utilize the code only once.
Patient Education
Poisoning
A poison is any substance that is harmful to your body. You might swallow it, inhale it, inject it, or absorb it through your skin. Any substance can be poisonous if too much is taken. Poisons can include:
- Prescription or over-the-counter medicines taken in doses that are too high
- Overdoses of illegal drugs
- Carbon monoxide from gas appliances
- Household products, such as laundry powder or furniture polish
- Pesticides
- Indoor or outdoor plants
- Metals such as lead and mercury
The effects of poisoning range from short-term illness to brain damage, coma, and death. To prevent poisoning it is important to use and store products exactly as their labels say. Keep dangerous products where children can't get to them. Treatment for poisoning depends on the type of poison. If you suspect someone has been poisoned, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 right away.
