Congenital PCB poisoning: a reevaluation.

A review of the literature reveals a need to clarify the pathologic physiology of congenital polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) poisoning, which is characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, brown staining of the skin and mucous membranes, as in Addison's disease, natal teeth, widely open fontanelles and sagittal suture and apparent overgrowth of the gingiva. The skull abnormalities may repr...

New treatment methods in verapamil poisoning: experimental studies.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, potassium channel inhibitor) and Bay K 8644 (calcium channel activator) in experimentally evoked verapamil poisoning in rats and to compare the results of this treatment with the effectiveness of widely accepted methods (adrenaline, calcium compounds). The experiment was carried out on male and ...

Pharmacokinetic Studies on Oximes in Organophosphate Poisoning: A Mini Review

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning in developing countries especially in Southeastern Asia. Poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or OP compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The efficacy of oxime therapy in OP poisoned patients mainly depends upon various fac...
