متن کاملParaoxonase 1 Activity, Lipid Profile, and Atherogenic Indexes Status in Coronary Heart Disease
Background: Dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). In the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of PON1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and atherogenic indexes in CHD patients and healthy people.

متن کاملManagement of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning
Organophosphorus pesticide self-poisoning is an important clinical problem in rural regions of the developing world, and kills an estimated 200,000 people every year. Unintentional poisoning kills far fewer people but is a problem in places where highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides are available. Medical management is difficult, with case fatality generally more than 15%. We describe the l...

It clearly demonstrates the difficulty in managing such patients in resource-poor areas [2]. However, we should like to query some issues in their management of OP poisoning and their use of pralidoxime. We cannot under...
