Hospitalizations and deaths in England and Wales

Carbamate insecticides: what are they?

Carbamate insecticides are being used more and more often as commercial pesticides. The pharmacological action is similar to that of the organophosphorus compounds, with the difference that binding to cholinesterases

Types of poisoning: chloralose

Chloralose is a derivative of chloral hydrate. The portion of the latter that is released into the body is rapidly metabolized to trichloroethyl alcohol. This substance is a central nervous

What is hypothermia?

Hypothermia could be a potentially fatal emergency. It develops at temperatures above freezing but also below. There are two types of hypothermia: the mild form and the severe form. In

Foreign body (in the digestive tract)

Complications in bipolar disorder

But which ones are the most present?

Chlorinated hydrocarbons: what are they?

In this group of chemical compounds we find carbon tetrachloride. Similar to the latter there is chloroform and other derivatives that have replaced it. In addition to the narcotic features

Heavy metals and metalloids: iron

Metallic iron does not give toxicity problems, although there are people with congenital defects in matabolism, for whom it behaves like a poison. Iron salts are pharmaceuticals for the treatment

Poisonings: dinitro-compounds

These compounds are used in orchards as a “winter wash” and as a herbicides in summer. From a toxicological point of view, their action biochemistry is common to all compounds.

Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy

Coagulopathy is related to different clinical pictures, involving the activation of the process of coagulation resulting in thrombus deposition in the microcircle and consumption of coagulation factors and platelets.

Poisoning by anticoaugulants

Anticoagulants are based on warfarin and related substances. The material found commercially is ready to be diluted, so that the content of baits prepared to keep rodent populations down is usually low. The animals that die are those that repeatedly eat the substance, reaching very low coagulation levels. If you do not ingest a large dose, it is difficult to be harmed; in fact, you need to swallow more than 1 kg of bait to take a big risk.

Diagnosis and treatment

The diagnosis can be substantiated by the finding of a prolonged prothrombin time in the absence of organic pathology to justify it. Treatment is carried out by administering vitamin K1.
