Filter by:This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blinded clinical trial of patients presenting with acetaminophen poisoning who are at increased risk of developing liver injury. With this trial the investigators are hoping to show the superiority of acetylcysteine (NAC) + fomepizole (4-MP) compared to treatment with acetylcysteine alone. The primary objective of this trial is to determine the effect of fomepizole on the severity of acute liver injury in patients with acetaminophen poisoning.
This study aims to investigate whether the use of medical checklists in the emergency department can decrease resuscitation time in critically ill patients.
N2O inactivates vitamin B12, impairing its ability to act as a cofactor of methionine synthase. In addition, the elimination of vitamin B12 is increased. Neurological damage is similar to that described in combined sclerosis of the marrow, and are probably related to induce vitamin B12 deficiency. The use of N2O can then precipitate the rapid appearance of signs (neurological, psychiatric and hematological) related to a true and/ or functional vitamin B12 deficiency. In 1978, RB Layzer described the first 3 cases of peripheral neuropathy secondary to nitrous oxide (N2O) consumption. In 2016, a team collected the 91 published cases: among these, 72 had neurological complications, and 52 had a concentration of vitamin B12 considered "low" or "normal-low" Since then, consumption patterns seem changed due to: an increasing ease of access, the change of container (packaging in cartridge 8 grams versus bottle of 600 grams) and a usually occasional and festive consumption that seems to become solitary and regular, This change in consumption patterns is explained by an increased incidence of neurological complications, although no epidemiological work is yet available. The objective of this work is to describe the epidemiology of this condition, to correlate it with major recent social phenomena (confinement related to the SARS-Cov2 pandemic), and finally to compare the incidence of myelopathies secondary to N2O with the incidence of other frequent inflammatory neurological diseases (autoimmune myelitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome).
Diquat (DQ) is a non-selective quick-acting bactericidal herbicide, which is the same bipyridine compound as paraquat (PQ).The number of patients with acute diquat poisoning is gradually increasing worldwide, and the mortality rate is not lower than that of paraquat (citing), but there is currently a lack of objective indicators to assess the severity or prognosis of diquat poisoning.By referring to SIPP ideas, the research team intends to establish a model that meets the clinical characteristics of diquat poisoning and effectively predicts the prognosis of patients, namely SIDP. In order to obtain an objective, accurate and relatively convenient method to judge the condition and prognosis of patients with acute diquat poisoning.
Diquat (DQ), as a conductive biocidal herbicide, is classified as medium according to Chinese pesticide toxicity classification standards. Since the sale and use of paraquat are stopped in 2016, incidents of diquat poisoning have begun to increase. Diquat is very toxic to the human body. Mistake of Diquat can cause damage to multiple organs throughout the body. It has a high fatality rate and no specific treatment.The treatment method has become a research hotspot of modern poisoning treatment. The degree of organ dysfunction caused by DQ poisoning is mainly related to the patient's intake and the distribution of the poison in the human body.So far, the distribution concentration of DQ under the influence of the time gradient in the body and the influence of DQ on the human environment，metabolimics,，immune regulation activity and the comprehensive mechanism of action of various inflammatory factors have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this research mainly focuses on analyzing the internal environment metabolism research in patients with DQ poisoning, and to conduct exploratory research on the severity of the impact on their organ functions
the study aim to investigate the trend of poisoning and its causative agents among different egyption people ages between 2015 and 2019
Prospective observational follow-up study for the study and modeling of the pharmacokinetics of the free fraction of ceftriaxone in patients treated with high doses of ceftriaxone (greater than or equal to 4 grams per day).
The objective of this study is the development, implementation and management of a registry of patient data that captures clinically meaningful, real-world, data on the diagnosis, nature, course of infection, treatment(s) and outcomes in patients with complex disease globally.
Intravenous lipid emulsion is an established, effective treatment for local anesthetic systemic toxicity. It is also efficacious in animal models of severe cardiotoxicity caused by a number of other medications. Recent case reports of successful resuscitation suggest the efficacy of lipid emulsion infusion for treating non-local anesthetic overdoses across a wide spectrum of drugs. The present study will focus on the potential role of intravenous lipid emulsion as an adjuvant therapy in pesticides toxicity.
1. Evaluation of drug overdose cases presented to Assiut university hospitals' adults and pediatric emergency departments (EDs) in one year period. 2. Evaluation the role of intensive care unit (ICU) admission in these cases and possible scoring system for common groups of drug overdose.
