Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic drug used in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Fever induced by clozapine is a rather frequent side-effect which usually occurs in the first 4 weeks of treatment. Despite its effectiveness, there are potentially life-threatening adverse effects, such
Six cycles of the maximum tolerable intravenous doses of lonidamine (400 mg/m2) and doxorubicin (30 mg/m2) were administered to three normothermic dogs and three dogs undergoing whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) (42 degrees C X 90 min), at 3-week intervals. Lonidamine pharmacokinetics was unaltered by
Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic agent indicated in the treatment of medication-resistant schizophrenia. It is often reserved as a last line of treatment owing to the potential for serious and potentially life-threatening side effects, the most serious being agranulocytosis requiring close
BACKGROUND
The use of marijuana and cannabis concentrates is increasing, especially following decriminalization in several states. Psychosis and cardiotoxicity have been reported following cannabis use; however, myocardial injury from "dabbing" has not yet been reported. We report a case of
BACKGROUND
Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) poisoning is a relatively common occurrence and remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity. Deaths from TCA toxicity are typically due to cardiovascular events such as arrhythmias and hypotension. Cardiovascular toxicity may be multifactorial.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the expression characteristics of TNF-α in myocardium and hepatic tissue of rats with compound stress of hyperthermia and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
METHODS
Male SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into room temperature+physiological saline group (Group C),
Doxorubicin is a cytotoxic drug used for the treatment of many cancer types. However, its significant dose-related adverse effects including cardiotoxicity may hamper its efficiency. Moreover, the multidrug resistance that appears during treatments limits anti-cancer therapies. Hyperthermia has been
Studies in animals suggest that the bispiperazinedione ICRF-187 can prevent the development of dose-related doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity. In a randomized trial in 92 women with advanced breast cancer, we compared treatment with fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FDC), given
1. The rapid death which occurred after intravenous injection of activated streptolysin O from. Group A or Group C streptococci was always preceded by profound electrocardiographic alterations. After several multiples of the LD(50) doses, cardiac electrical arrest or fibrillation could occur within
Asymptomatic sinus bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia have been noted in malarial patients receiving mefloquine. The present study was designed to assess the effect of mefloquine on electrocardiogram in malarial patients. The study was carried out in 102 acute uncomplicated falciparum malarial
DNR can be targeted to the liver by linking to galactosylated human serum albumin (AG). The linkage is stable in the blood stream and allows the release of active DNR after endocytosis of the conjugate by the target cells. Receptors for AG are present at the cell membrane of hepatocytes, primary
17 previously untreated patients with small cell lung cancer entered a phase II study testing the feasibility of incorporating high dose epirubicin (110 mg/m2, day 1) in combination regimens, including cyclophosphamide (1 g/m2, day 1), and etoposide (120 mg/m2, day 1) (courses 1, 3, 5) or cisplatin
Studies conducted in humans or in animals explored the presence, nature and potential causes of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) toxicity. According to literature, there are four principal types of such serious toxicity: hepatic, cardiovascular, cerebral and hyperpyrexic. The molecular
