s | 99 Conclusions: This will be the first study to expose diurnal and seasonal patterns that differentiate alcohol related deliberate self-poisoning from non-alcohol related deliberate selfpoisoning, and to statistically model the influence of alcohol co-ingestion. Patterns specific to Alc+ behaviour may elucidate chronotherapeutic prevention strategies and shed light on the role of alcohol in...

Theophylline poisoning can result in nausea, vomiting, hypotension, cardiac dysrythmias, and seizures. Mortality may be as high as 50%, and life-threatening events may occur without premonitory symptoms.' Because of this, treatment is indicated when serum theophylline concentrations are very high. Charcoal haemoperfusion is effective in lowering serumconcentrations of theophylline.2 We report a...

Verapamil is an antiarrhythmic and antianginal drug which selectively inhibits membrane transport and release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum, depressing the sinus node and atrioventricular conduction as well as producing a negative inotropic effect on the myocardium. Here I describe a patient who suffered the adverse haemodynamic and electrocardiographic effects consequent upon selfp...

In the course of prevalence studies carried out by members of the Medical Research Council Unit for Epidemiological Studies in Psychiatry in Edinburgh, it was observed that the rates of illness for municipal wards of the city showed marked differences. A statistically significant relationship between various manifestations of social pathology such as juvenile delinquency and overcrowding was sh...

Organophosphate (OP) pesticides contribute to a substantial burden of mortality and morbidity from selfpoisoning, particularly in developing countries. Such poisonings are associated with several syndromes, including acute cholinergic crises, the intermediate syndrome (IMS), and organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy. In a study published in PLoS Medicine, Jayawardane and colleagues begin t...

This paper is a limited overview of a preliminary research task carried out for the National Security Agency (NSA) having to do with developing a basic understanding of the notions and concepts of intent, intentionality, and intentional behavior. These notions clearly have significant implications for intelligence analysis and especially predictive intelligence; modern-day “asymmetric threats” ...
