Research on chlorine-free conversions of P4 into organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) has a long track record, but methods that allow desirable, direct P-C bond formations have only recently emerged. These include the use of metal organyls, carbenes, carboradicals, and photochemical approaches. The versatile product scope enables the preparation of both industrially relevant organophosphorus compo...

BACKGROUND Suicide by organophosphorus poisoning is common in India. Study of factors associated with lethality may suggest methods for prevention. METHODS Severity of symptoms, biochemical manifestation of poisoning, degree of lethality and the outcome were studied with an aim to explore the modifiable factors associated with lethality and to discuss preventability. Clinical variables were c...

Organophosphorus chemistry has a crucial role in the field of drug research [1]. As generally well known, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) plays key energy processes all living cells mammals. There are also natural phosphorus containing organic compound, Phosphocitrate (PC), found mammalian mitochondria, likely produced by cytosolic phosphorylation citrate, and which important calcium metabolism, e...

Background: The easy availability and lack of legal strictures have made organophosphorus compound poisoning the deadly bane for the people of the lower socioeconomic strata, i.e., farmers and laborers. This study was conducted to predict the need for ventilator support in organophosphate poisoning and to identify the factors which help in predicting the need for ventilatory support in organoph...

ABSTRACT: Forty 1-2-y-old water buffaloes were simultaneously treated with trichlorfon and chlorpyrifos products in the recommended dose for cattle. After a week, 19 animals started presenting clinical signs characterized by apathy, diarrhea, aggressiveness, dehydration, motor incoordination, followed flaccid paralysis permanent lateral recumbency. All affected died after course of 1-4 days. Re...

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.47 Abstract: OP compound poisoning is a global problem and is most common medicotoxic emergency in India. Cardiac manifestations are also seen due to OP poisoning which may be serious and often fatal if not diagnosed early and treated adequately. We studied clinical and electrocardiographic changes in op poisoning. To study the clinical as well as electrocardiograph...
