Filter by:This randomized trial will investigate important neurocognitive clinical outcomes of patients with acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning (ASCOP) randomized to receive either therapeutic hypothermia or normothermia combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO).
This topic in western medicine combined on the basis of gastric lavage therapy in patients with acute poisoning acupoint sticking of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture point massage treatment, aims to smoothly accelerate cleaning and discharge poison, increase the poisoning patients rescue success rate, improve patient quality of life, for the clinical treatment of acute poisoning provides a new method of TCM nursing, to further exert TCM nursing characteristics.
Childhood obesity is increasing globally. Changes in body composition and physiology in obesity setting modify pharmacokinetic parameters and might increase the risk in case of poisoning. Acetaminophen is a drug often implied in poisoning in children population, especially in adolescent attempting suicide. In practice, clinicians use weight to assess intoxication severity, but depending on the weight chosen (actual weight, lean body weight, ideal weight,..) the severity assessment can change as well as medical care needed. In this context we hypothesize that a PBPK modelling would be helpful to predict toxic dosing in obese population and especially in obese adolescent or children. The primary objective of this study is to collect data related to acetaminophen-poisoned patient with at least one acetaminophen concentration sampling and whose clinical outcome is known in order to refine and validate such a PBPK model.
Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Improving Coma Of Antipsychotic drugs Acute Poisoning: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Poison Control Center of Ain Shams University Hospitals
The project is a prospective observation study of patients with suspected or confirmed toxic alcohol poisoning treated with fomepizole and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
Potential Role of Gastric Lavage by Paraffin Oil in Acute Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning.
This prospective cohort study enrolls subjects who experience carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The purpose of the study is to evaluate therapeutic effects of various treatments and short and long-term outcomes in CO poisoned patients. In addition, complications of brain and heart susceptible to CO are investigated through various ways and the association between complications and the patient's prognosis is also investigated. All subjects will be regularly monitored by physicians participating in this study.
NBMI (N1, N3-Bis-(2-Mercaptoethyl) Isophthalamide) is a new metal chelator drug proposed as an alternative to the current chelators, and it is widely different; compared to the current chelators, consisting of two cysteamine molecules coupled to a single molecule of dicarboxybenzoate. It is used as a chelating agent and has the designation of an orphan drug, in the EU and USA; in the EU it is used for the treatment of mercury toxicity. It is freely soluble in solutions of dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and sodium hydroxide diluted NaOH, slightly soluble in methanol and acetone, and insoluble in water. Pre-clinical data indicates low to no toxicity, and that it reduces the toxicity associated with acute exposure to Hg2+. No other chelator has been reported to prevent acute mercury toxicity with only one exposure to the chelator. It has the ability to penetrate cell membranes and cross the blood-brain barrier and chelate Hg2+ in a complex that eliminates the availability of Hg2+ and essentially eliminates toxic effects. The antioxidant properties of NBMI could also reduce the toxicity levels of hydroxyl free radicals immediately, upon entering cells suffering from oxidative stress. It is possible that the combined chelation of Hg2+ and the elimination of hydroxyl free radicals contribute significantly to the protective effects observed with the NBMI. Previous clinical studies conducted in subjects of the Phase I and Phase II a studies conducted, did not show significant adverse events in patients intoxicated with mercury, all patients who received the study medication have tolerated it well, with only mild or moderate adverse events reported; None of these were considered related to the pharmacological treatment of the study. In addition, there is no potential identified with safety problems in laboratory tests, or vital signs evaluations. The purpose of this Controlled Single-Center Double-Blind Crossover Clinical Trial Phase II b is to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a 14 day 600mg / day of NBMI (N1, N2-bis-2-mercaptoethyl isophthalamide) Treatment, in the reduction of urinary mercury levels versus placebo, in accidentally exposed subjects to mercury in Colombia.
The aim of the study is to test whether oxygen therapy delivered through high-flow nasal cannula devices in patients admitted to the emergency department for acute carbon monoxide poisoning is superior to the non-rebreathing oxygen face mask therapy with a 15 L/minute oxygen flow (currently the first-line therapy), in terms of reduction of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentration and delayed neurological sequelae incidence.
This study is to supplement our internal data that demonstrates the continued performance of capillary blood samples on Magellan's lead testing systems: LeadCare II, LeadCare Ultra (which have been cleared previously by FDA), and PediaStat, which is an upgraded LeadCare II instrument in development.
