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...
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...
متن کاملCorrelation between Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Severity of Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning: A Prospective Clinical Study (2012-2013)
Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is an important global health problem especially in developing countries like Egypt. . Estimation of erythrocyte cholinesterase (EChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) as an evidence of OP poisoning is costly, not regularly performed and shows wide inter-individual variability. Therefore, this study was designed to assess if serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) can...
متن کاملZebrafish Models for Human Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning
Terrorist use of organophosphorus-based nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals against civilian populations constitutes a real threat, as demonstrated by the terrorist attacks in Japan in the 1990 s or, even more recently, in the Syrian civil war. Thus, development of more effective countermeasures against acute organophosphorus poisoning is urgently needed. Here, we have generated and val...
متن کاملAcute organophosphorus insecticide poisoning in Sri Lanka.
Records of 92 cases of acute organophosphorus (OP) insecticide poisoning were analysed. Of the patients 91% were under 30 years of age and 86% were males. The common agents were Dimethoate, Methamidophos, Malathion, Monocrotophos and Fenthion. Poisoning was due to ingestion with suicidal intent in the majority. In addition to the acute cholinergic features, the other important manifestations we...
