Filter by:The purpose of this tribally co-led community-based participatory research in partnership with Sitka Tribe of Alaska is to help prevent Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) in children of Southeast Alaska. The investigators assess whether an education intervention leads to changes in participants' planned behaviors related to clam harvesting that may reduce risks of exposure to shellfish toxins. This project includes both a human subjects research component (this clinical trial) and a non-human environmental research component. In the non-human component, the tribe is monitoring for toxins in shellfish (including shellfish provided by people with data originally collected as a non-research service), and testing water for the presence of algae that make the toxin. The human subjects component involves age-appropriate K12 educational outreach in partnership with the Sitka School District, Hoonah City Schools, and Juneau School District, including a middle school after-school non-credit educational program coupled to a research program in Sitka, AK and Juneau, AK and a middle school during school elective educational program coupled to a research program in Hoonah, AK. Middle school students participating in the program will attend the program with several units designed to teach cultural practices, strengthen competencies toward Alaska science state standards, and evaluate shellfish consumption-related risk behaviors, while affirming traditional culture.
Acute pediatric poisoning is a common worldwide problematic emergency and represents frequent cause of emergency department admissions throughout the world. In 2017, the 35th Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System referred more than 2 million calls for cases of human exposure to toxic substance, more than 50% of them occurred in children less than 13 years old. Also, about 1030 patients less than 14 years old were acutely intoxicated and presented to the Regina Margherita Hospital in Italy from 2012 to 2017. According to Ain Shams study during the period between 2009 and 2013, acute poisoning presented to Ain Shams Poison Control Center; accounts for an estimated 38,470 case among children less than or equals to 18 years old. In the same age group mentioned above, about 760 cases admitted to Menoufia Poison Control Center during the year 2016, those between 2 and 6 years represented the highest age group. Although pediatric poisoning represents a major and preventable cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, usually there is a great challenge with the management of acute pediatric poisoning due to the fact of difficult history taking, unreliable examination compared with that of an adult, in addition, pediatric patients are usually more vulnerable due to physiological difference between developmental stages. Also, the evident curiosity for the surroundings and the desire to explore and to emulate adults, make children particularly exposed to acute intoxications.
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.
study of some laboratory and clinical findings which may show the severity of aluminium phosphide toxicity and the need of the cases to be admitted to ICU
To exam the effects of Phyllanthus niruri extracts(corilagin, phyllanthin and brevifolin) on human neutrophils
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending doses of Stabilized Isoamyl Nitrite (SIAN) nasal spray in healthy subjects.
ALCOPOP is a prospective cohort study entitled "Predicitve Value of Copeptin in CO-intoxicated Patients". The primary objective of this study is to assess the independent association between early Copeptin and / or Troponin concentrations at presentation at the emergency department with disability-free survival after carbon monoxide (CO) -intoxication. Further secondary aims are to determine the independent association between early postoperative Copeptin and / or Troponin concentrations and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), mortality and long-term neurological outcome. Adult patients with acute CO-intoxication (CO-hemoglobin >10%) will be included. Main exposure will be Copeptin and Troponin concentrations. Primary endpoint will be disability-free survival at 90 days. The investigators assume to include 120 patients in 24 months
Acute poisoning is a major public health problem all over the world, it causes significant mortality and morbidity. It primarily involves younger populations, with less than 3% of the affected cases being in people aged 60 years or older in most studies. More than half of the intoxication events in the elderly over 65 years old were accidental.
High-dose benzodiazepines can inhibit the central nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular motor center, resulting in loss of consciousness, disappearance of reflex, respiratory inhibition, decrease of blood pressure and so on. This kind of drug acute poisoning is the most common drug poisoning in internal medicine. It has acute onset and severe symptoms. If it is not treated properly in time, it can be life-threatening. At present, the research on the accumulation and metabolic state caused by benzodiazepine poisoning is not sufficient; at the same time, the changes of neuroendocrine metabolism and immune function of patients with neuroendocrine metabolism and immune function need to be further explored. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of neuroendocrine metabolism and immune function on organ function and mental state in patients with benzodiazepine 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
