BACKGROUND
Acute liver failure (ALF) induced by amatoxin-containing mushrooms accounts for more than 90% of deaths in patients suffering from mushroom poisoning. However, due to the fact that most hospitals cannot identify the species of mushrooms involved, or detect amatoxins, the early diagnosis
Mushroom poisoning by Amanita phalloides is a rare but potentially fatal disease. The initial symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which are typical for the intoxication, can be interpreted as a common gastro-enteritis. The intoxication can progress to acute liver and renal

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) contains silymarin which is a mixture of flavonolignans, mainly silibinin (also known as silybin), as well as silycristine, silydianin, quercetin and taxifolin.[1] Silymarin is a standardized preparation extracted from the fruits (seeds) of milk thistle. Milk thistle
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Silibinin is a polyphenolic flavonolignan derived from milk thistle (Silybum marianium) with anti-oxidant properties. The purpose of the current trial was to determine the tissue and blood effects of high-dose silybin-phytosome in prostate cancer patients.
METHODS
