Introduction Cannabis is the most common recreational drug worldwide and synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists are currently largest group of new psychoactive substances. The aim this study was to compare clinical features outcomes lone acute cannabis toxicity with agonist in a large series presentations European emergency departments between 2013-2020.
This study hypothesized that 3,4-methylenedioxymetamfetamine intoxication presents with distinct clinical features and outcomes when combined other substances of misuse, compared to mono-3,4-methylenedioxymetamfetamine intoxication. investigated the presentation acute intoxication, exclusive co-usage ethanol, 3,4-methylenedioxymetamfetamine-co-intoxication or without a focus on patient sex differences. A retrospective analysis was conducted using Euro-DEN Plus database (2013-2022), which...
Abstract New psychoactive substances continue to appear on the drug market. Until recently, new synthetic opioids, which are among most dangerous substances, primarily encompassed analogs of potent analgesic fentanyl. Lately, also other opioids have increasingly started surface. This is first report identification and full chemical characterization brorphine, a novel opioid with piperidine benzimidazolone structure. A powder, identified as was obtained from patient seeking medical help for...
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) have been increasingly reported in the last 15-20 years. We aimed to describe presentations emergency department (ED) with acute recreational drug toxicity involving NPS.Data were extracted from European Drug Emergencies Network (Euro-DEN) Plus database for all ED (36 EDs 24 countries) between January 2014 and December 2019. Patient demographics, agents involved, clinical outcomes described subgroup of NPS was compared rest cohort.Out 43,633 Euro-DEN...
Context 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) remains one of the most commonly used recreational drugs in Europe. Monitoring Emergency Department (ED) presentations with acute toxicity associated MDMA is important to determine trends use and harms.Methods Data were extracted from European Drug Emergencies Network (Euro-DEN) Plus database for all ED involving use, alone or combination other substances, between 1 January 2014 31 December 2017. Geographical distribution, time trends, patient...
Objective There is a paucity of data on the incidence and severity tram tracks related cycling injuries. The aim this study to get insight into incidence, characteristics injuries, potentially defining significant 'hotspots' in Ghent city area.Methods A one-year, multicenter, prospective, observational was conducted. Patients presenting emergency departments all 4 hospitals with injury, were included. Data patient demographics, circumstances accident type injury collected.Results 149...
We report a case of 19-year-old woman who ingested Digitalis purpurea leaves as suicide attempt. She developed gastro-intestinal symptoms, loss colour vision, cardiac conduction disturbances well an elevated serum potassium. Treatment was initiated in analogy to medicinal digoxin poisoning by means digoxin-specific Fab-fragments with good effect. However during the further course we faced difficulties prolonged intestinal absorption and inability estimate dose or half-life vegetal glycoside...

Objective Early recognition and appropriate bystander response has proven effect on the outcome of many critically ill patients, including those in cardiac arrest. We wanted to audit prehospital our region identify areas for improvement. Patients methods prospectively collected data, Emergency Medical Services dispatch center audio files, all patients with a decreased level consciousness presenting Ghent University Hospital emergency care unit ( n = 151). Three trained physicians reviewed...
