Markedly Elevated Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide/Carbamazepine Ratio in a Fatal Carbamazepine Ingestion
Carbamazepine is a widely used anticonvulsant. Its metabolite, carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, has been found to display similar anticonvulsant and neurotoxic properties. While the ratio of parent to metabolite concentration varies significantly, at therapeutic doses the epoxide concentration is generally about 20% of the parent. We report a case of fatal carbamazepine overdose in which the epoxid...
متن کاملAnthracycline Cardiotoxicity
In this issue, Gupta et al describe a novel mechanism, mediated through alterations in the RNA-binding protein QKI (Quaking), responsible for anthracycline-mediated cardiotoxicity. Performing global transcriptional profiling in murine hearts exposed to doxorubicin, they identified 5 differentially expressed RNA-binding proteins: 4 of which were upregulated and 1 QKI which was downregulated. QKI...
متن کاملAnthracycline Cardiotoxicity
Anthracyclines remain an integral part of chemotherapy regimens in many adult and pediatric cancers but cause myocardial damage that may manifest as either subclinical decrements of left ventricular ejection function or overt cardiomyopathy. Anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity is doselimiting, and the risks of congestive heart failure increase with higher cumulative doses, particularly above 5...

متن کاملDigitalis cardiotoxicity.
Clinical manifestations of digitalis toxicity were clearly described by Withering in 1785. One hundred years later, certain digitalis-induced arrhythmias were inscribed on the smoked drum, and shortly thereafter with the introduction of the electrocardiograph, manifestations of digitalis toxicity as recognized today were recorded in animals and human beings. With popularization of the direct-wr...
