Human botulism (type F)--a rare type.

Only registered users can translate articles

An unusual presentation of type F botulism (one of the world's three reported outbreaks) is described. The diagnosis was complicated by the presence of pre-existing Adie's myotonic pupil. There was also a history of self-inflicted small-caliber gunshot wound to the right brain 10 years before the

A foodborne outbreak causing a cholinergic syndrome.

We report a foodborne outbreak causing a cholinergic syndrome in three members of a family. The clinical presentation was characterized by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and weakness. Physical examination revealed evidence of peripheral motor weakness and decreased level of consciousness in all

[Cationization, a process for the delivery of antibodies to the central nervous system. Problems encountered in its application for immunotherapy strategies such as those for clostridial poisoning].

Only registered users can translate articles

The central nervous system is separated from the rest of the body by the blood-brain barrier. This barrier prevents many substances, such as the antibodies, to penetrate into the brain making it difficult to use them for the treatment of brain diseases, such as tetanus and botulism. These two

4-aminopyridine-a review.

Only registered users can translate articles

4-aminopyridine is the first of the aminopyridines to be used in clinical practice. It blocks potassium channels and thereby increases acetylcholine, and possibly noradrenaline, release at nerve terminals. In man the drug has a significant action at the neuromuscular junction, but has little effect

Detection of Clostridium botulinum type B toxin in the presence of a lethal substance interfering with toxin neutralization.

Only registered users can translate articles

A low molecular weight substance that induced seizures and death in mice was present in the stool of a child with infant botulism. This interfered with mouse bioassay used for detecting Clostridium botulinum toxin. After removal of the interfering substance by a prolonged dialysis with buffered

Three cases of acute methyl bromide poisoning in a seedling farm family.

Only registered users can translate articles

We encountered three patients (Patient I: 39-year-old man, Patient II: 34-year-old woman, and Patient III: 5-year-old girl) with acute methyl bromide poisoning, which had occurred as a result of exposure to the gas that leaked from methyl bromide cans stored in a warehouse of a seedling farm. Since

Lycopodium clavatum exine microcapsules enable safe oral delivery of 3,4-diaminopyridine for treatment of botulinum neurotoxin A intoxication.

Only registered users can translate articles

3,4-Diaminopyridine has shown promise in reversing botulinum intoxication, but poor pharmacokinetics and a narrow therapeutic window limit its clinical utility. Thus, we developed a pH-dependent oral delivery platform using club moss spore exines. These exine microcapsules slowed 3,4-diaminopyridine

4-aminopyridine toxicity: a case report and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) selectively blocks voltage-gated potassium channels, prolongs the action potential, increases calcium influx, and subsequently, enhances interneuronal and neuromuscular synaptic transmission. This medication has been studied and used in many disease processes
