Methanol poisoning may result in metabolic acidosis, blindness, and death. The inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase is fundamental to the treatment methanol poisoning. We performed a multicenter study evaluate fomepizole, an inhibitor dehydrogenase, patients with
Ethylene glycol poisoning causes metabolic acidosis and renal failure may cause death. The standard treatment is inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase with ethanol, given in intoxicating doses, adjunctive hemodialysis. We studied the efficacy fomepizole, a new inhibitor dehydrogenase, ethylene poisoning.
Amoxapine is a tricyclic antidepressant that seems to lack the cardiovascular toxic effects associated with other tricyclics when taken as an overdose. Central nervous system depression and seizures are primary manifestations of reactions amoxapine. Because amoxapine be effective tricyclics, cardiotoxic may make it drug choice for certain psychiatric disturbances. Five cases overdose discussed. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;248:1092-1094)
AS THE use of small, flat, disk batteries as energy sources for cameras and other electronic devices has increased, the incidence reported cases ingested also increased. Although clinical experience would seem to indicate that in majority these battery is eventually passed through gastrointestinal (GI) tract without incident, a few patients been known leak GI result serious toxic reaction. We report case child who absorbed mercury from swallowed opened large bowel released mercuric oxide....

To the Editor.— We would like to report use of naloxone (Narcan) in reversal coma and apnea a child who had ingested an unknown quantity clonidine (Catapres). Report Case.— A 16-month-old, 9-kg girl was found by her mother with open bottle clonidine. tablet infant's mouth; no other medications were home. When became sleepy shortly thereafter, she taken local emergency room on arrival suffered respiratory arrest. She quickly intubated physical examination indicated blood pressure (BP) 80 mm...
To identify clinical criteria predictive of underlying coronary artery disease in patients with cocaine-associated myocardial infarction.Using a retrospective cross-sectional study design at 29 acute care hospitals, we identified 70 infarction who had determination the presence or absence disease. Clinical characteristics (> 50% stenosis on cardiac catheterization reversible ischemia stress test) were compared without (< catheterization).Compared (n = 21), 49) older (42 versus 31 years; P <...
