Digoxin-specific antibody fragments for the treatment of suspected Nerium oleander toxicosis in a cat

The effect of magnesium sulfate in treatment of experimental oleander (Nerium oleander)poisoning in sheep

Changes in Proteins, Transaminases Activity and Leucocyte Count during Nerium oleander Induced Toxicosis in Wistar Rats

This study aimed to find changes in white blood cell profile and liver functions in rats after sterile muscle abscess with Nerium oleander leaves decoction and to find out correlation among serum proteins resolved through SDS PAGE. 10ml/ kg of the leaves extract injected intramuscularly in Wistar rats (225g, n=4). Control animals were injected with saline injection. All the animals were anesthe...

Use of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) in the management of digoxin poisoning.

Massive digoxin overdosage is an uncommon but serious medical emergency with a mortality of 20%.1 It involves multiple management problems including hyperkalaemia, heart block and resistant ventricular arrhythmias. The management of the problems associated with severe digoxin overdosage has been assisted by two recent therapeutic advances, the use of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) to...

Experimental oleander (Nerium oleander) intoxication in broiler chickens (Gallus gallus).

Dried leaves of oleander were orally given at a single dose of 500 mg/kg body weight to 20 clinically healthy male chickens. Clinical signs of toxicosis began to appear about 1 h after receiving the oleander and included hypersalivation, vomiting, diarrhea, deep depression, and sudden death. Also, hyperemia in the combs and wattles was obviously seen. Electrocardiograms (ECG) were repeatedly re...
