Ethnicity and race are among the most commonly used epidemiological variables, closely following age, sex and social class. Relative increase in the use of the term ‘ethnicity’ rather than ‘race’ in the health literature from 1966 to 2000 has been observed. These terms describe two distinct, overlapping concepts and, arguably, ethnicity is preferable to race. There are limited genetic differenc...

In the last issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, Dr. Reza Afshari raised the question of what are the best scientific areas of focus of toxicology for “low income countries and how such research might be achieved (1). South-south collaboration, in which developing countries share resources, was one of the proposed solutions. Rather than limit discussion to “low income” coun...

In a recent issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology (APJMT), the importance of empowering medical toxicology in the Asia Pacific Region has been discussed. In the editorial by Dr. Afshari, it has been stated that national societies of medical toxicology are important infrastructure for the development of medical toxicology, and the Asia Pacific Association of Medical Toxicology ...

In the editorial by Dr. Reza Afshari “What is the best research for low income countries” (1), some important issues have been raised, highly relevant to developing countries. In most developing countries including India, emergency medicine is not well established and clinical toxicology is even further a low priority in view of both research and clinical management. The number of poison contro...

Sodium currents in fast firing neurons are tuned to support sustained firing rates > 50-60 Hz. This is typically accomplished with fast channel kinetics and the ability to minimize the accumulation of Na channels into inactivated states. Neurons in the medial vestibular nuclei (MVN) can fire at exceptionally high rates, but their Na currents have never been characterized. In this study, Na curr...
