An Autopsy Study of Organophosphorus Compound Poisoning At Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College

Therapeutic effects of HESA-A (a herbal-marine compound) in acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning

Objective: Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are common causes of poisonings. Atropine and oximes are pharmacological antidotes of OPs. However, because of their adverse effects and insufficient performance, several other compounds have been evaluated as adjuvant therapy. HESA-A is a herbal-marine drug that contains material from Carum carvi (Persian cumin), Penaeus latisculatus...

Organophosphorus Compound Induced 'Intermediate Syndrome'

Organophosphorus poisoning (acute).

INTRODUCTION Acetylcholinesterase inhibition by organophosphorus pesticides or organophosphate nerve agents can cause acute parasympathetic system dysfunction, muscle weakness, seizures, coma, and respiratory failure. Prognosis depends on the dose and relative toxicity of the specific compound, as well as pharmacokinetic factors. METHODS AND OUTCOMES We conducted a systematic review and aimed...

Organophosphorus poisoning and anaesthesia.

Organophosphorus compounds, used as insecticides and agents of chemical warfare, are a major global cause of health problems. These irreversible inhibitors of cholinesterase produce three well-recognised clinical entities: the initial cholinergic phase, which is a medical emergency often requiring management in an intensive care unit; the intermediate syndrome, during which prolonged ventilator...

Current review on organophosphorus poisoning

Organophosphorus (OP) compounds constitute a heterogeneous category of chemicals specifically designed for the control of pests, weeds or plant diseases. Our review article mainly focused on OP poisoning, especially with pesticides, its severity and management of toxic exposure. We developed a search strategy to find publications about OP poisoning and its management. So, we searched Science Di...
