Background: There are difficulties with the diagnosis of serotonin toxicity, particularly use Sternbach’s criteria. Aim: To improve criteria for diagnosing clinically significant toxicity. Design: Retrospective analysis prospectively collected data Methods: We studied all patients admitted to Hunter Area Toxicology Service (HATS) following an overdose a serotonergic drug from January 1987 November 2002 (n = 2222). Main outcomes were: toxicity by clinical toxicologist, fulfilment and...
Background: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have increasingly replaced tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in the treatment of depression. They appear to be safer overdose, but there is little information on their spectrum toxicity or relative each agent. Objective: To determine effect SSRIs as a group, and five different SSRIs. Methods: A review consecutive SSRI poisoning admissions single toxicology unit. Outcomes examined were length stay [LOS], intensive care [ICU] admission...
Venomous snakebite is considered the single most important cause of human injury from venomous animals worldwide. Coagulopathy one commonest systemic clinical syndromes and can be complicated by serious life-threatening haemorrhage. Venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) resulting occurs in envenoming Viperid snakes, certain elapids, including Australian a few Colubrid (rear fang) snakes. Procoagulant toxins activate clotting pathway, causing broad range factor deficiencies depending...
Abstract This study documents the effects of puffer‐fish poisoning on peripheral nerve. Excitability measurements investigated membrane properties sensory and motor axons in four patients. The median nerve was stimulated at wrist, with compound muscle potentials recorded from abductor pollicis brevis digit 2. Stimulus–responses, strength–duration time constant (τ SD ), threshold electrotonus, current–threshold relations were recorded. urine each patient tested positive for tetrodotoxin....
Serotonin syndrome is a potentially fatal and largely avoidable adverse drug reaction caused by serotonergic drugs. The steady increase in use of such drugs means all doctors need to be aware what serotonin how promptly recognise the determine if it life threatening.
There is a paucity of robust epidemiological data on snakebite, and available from hospitals localized or time-limited surveys have major limitations. No study has investigated the incidence snakebite across whole country. We undertook community-based national survey model based geostatistics to determine incidence, envenoming, mortality geographical pattern in Sri Lanka.The was designed sample population distributed equally among nine provinces The number collection clusters divided...
