ABSTRACT Background: Aluminum phosphide as a fumigant is extensively used for wheat preservation from rodents and bugs especially in silos worldwide. There is increasing number of acute intoxication with this potentially lethal compound because of its easy availability. We have tried to locate predictors of poor prognosis in patients with aluminum phosphide intoxication in order to find patien...

GHB intoxication must be considered in children with coma and a suspicion of drug intoxication. Furthermore, mixed intoxication with several substances and the possibility of unpredictable symptom profiles should be anticipated to ensure optimal symptomatic treatment of patients.

PURPOSE Gait impairment due to encephalopathy and neuropathy has been reported in carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication. Heterotopic ossification (HO) as a cause of gait impairment after CO intoxication has never been reported. In this study we report a patient with HO after CO intoxication. CASE REPORT A 21 year-old woman developed HO after CO intoxication, which resulted in progressive difficul...

Background: Acute opium intoxication is one of the most common causes of poisoning in children in Iran. Although most cases are accidental, traditional misuse of opium for symptomatic therapy of various childhood diseases also contributes to high rate of opium intoxication in Iran. Cases: Here, we report two cases of opium intoxication in infants resulted from transdermal application of opium o...

1. The resistance of adrenal-deficient rats to bacterial intoxication has been significantly increased by an extract of the adrenal cortex. 2. This is shown both for acute intoxication with killed Bacillus typhosus and for chronic intoxication with killed Staphylococcus aureus. 3. During the height of the bacterial intoxication relatively large amounts of the cortical hormone are apparently req...

BACKGROUND I.v. 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) is frequently used to treat ED patients with acute alcohol intoxication despite the lack of evidence for its efficacy. OBJECTIVE The study aims to compare treatment with i.v. normal saline and observation with observation alone in ED patients with acute alcohol intoxication. METHODS A single-blind, randomised, controlled trial was conduct...

The aim of our work was to investigate the peculiarities changes in endogenous intoxication rates: medium mass molecules (MMM) and erythrocyte index (EII) blood guinea pigs formation combined pathology - experimental periodontitis (EP) immobilization stress (IS).The results biochemical studies showed that at all stages development there is a consistent increase degree intoxication, which domina...

The objective of this study was to explore whether parental heavy drinking is associated with suicidal behavior in adolescents, and if so, whether this association is stronger among younger adolescents and whether a possible impact of one parent's intoxication adds to that of the other parent. Two cross-sectional school surveys were conducted in 2002 and 2004 in Norway and comprised 11,637 and ...
