Upon initial evaluation, the febrile (39.4°C), jaundiced, disoriented regarding time, place, person, an unremarkable past medical history. Initial blood tests showed severely...
Biological effects of electromagnetic fields on the human body, animals and plants have been a subject scientific interest public concern for their risk living organisms such as blood leukemia others. The high voltage transmission distribution lines, which pass beside some houses, factories schools are source fields. This paper presents field calculations around near lines 220 kV 500kV. To calculate induced current, power density, electric magnetic grounded ungrounded body cylindrical model...
Background: There are a few studies that evaluate preparedness and availability of antidotes in the emergency setting none have been conducted Qatar. Published show timely department is common issue. To address this, we study to antidote stocking utilization Qatar hospital pharmacies departments. Methods: In order appropriate use administration antidotes, research assistants prospectively collected data on ED patients. All patients who received any key over 6-month period were identified...
The CT scan is a determining imaging study in the diagnosis and treatment of head trauma; however, its indiscriminate application can have serious consequences for patients health system.

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopies are performed for several reasons. The overuse of endoscopy has negative effects on the quality healthcare and pressurises services. It also results in complications. These complications include pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum subcutaneous pneumomediastinum. However, it is worth noting that these rarely occur during upper GI tract. complications, when they occur, indicate perforation retroperitoneal space or peritoneal cavity. In this article, we...
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is commonly used in parts of Africa and Asia combination with Lawsonia alba leaves (also widely known as henna) or a substitute to dye the hair, palms, soles, arms for wedding ceremonies spiritual events.

Most arrhythmias associated with Metronidazole overdose are related to the co-ingested drugs as affects metabolism of these drugs. In this case, ventricular fibrillation occurred in a young patient who overdosed on without preexisting medical conditions or any other known drug ingestion, which was never reported before
Optic neuritis is an autoimmune condition where demyelination of the optic nerve leads to visual impairment. It typically associated with disorders but can also be triggered by certain drugs known for causing axonal and fiber degradation. Metronidazole, a common antibiotic, has been identified as one such drug. We describe acute onset after single intravenous dose metronidazole. Initially presenting symptoms suggestive gastroenteritis, her rapidly progressed severe loss in right eye...
Insecticides play an important role in controlling as well preventing the transmission of insectborne diseases. However, insecticides exposure can result harmful off-target effects. Over past few decades, numerous classes have been introduced. Neonicotinoids means “new nicotine-like insecticide”, were developed to replace older and more insecticides. Acetamiprid is a new-generation chloronicotinyl insecticide target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The majority studies endorsed use...
Ingestion of caustic substances is a common toxicological emergency, often resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Accidental ingestion these toxic agents most prevalent among children, who may encounter household cleaners other hazardous out curiosity. In contrast, adults ingest the context self-harm or suicide attempts.
