The goal of this simulation is to educate emergency medicine students, residents, attending physicians, and mid-level practitioners to recognize, diagnose, and manage acute cyanide toxicity.Cyanide has an almond scent and is a naturally occurring compound.

Cyanate Assimilation by the Alkaliphilic Cyanide-Degrading Bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344: Mutational Analysis of the cyn Gene Cluster [PDF]
The alkaliphilic bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344 can grow with cyanate, cyanide, or cyanide-containing industrial residues as the sole nitrogen source, but the assimilation of cyanide and cyanate takes place through independent pathways.

Toxicological Investigation of Acute Cyanide Poisoning Cases: Report of Four Cases
Cyanide is a deadly poison. Acute cyanide poisoning in humans is rare and is predominantly caused by smoke inhalation from fires and much more rarely by intentional ingestion of cyanide salts as in suicide or homicide attempts. The main objective of this

Cyanide Content of Cassava Food Products Available in Australia
In 2009, Food Standards Australia New Zealand set a total cyanide content limit of 10 ppm for ready-to-eat cassava products to address food safety concerns about cyanogenic glucosides in cassava.

Wetland-based passive treatment systems for gold ore processing effluents containing residual cyanide, metals and nitrogen species [PDF]
Gold extraction operations generate a variety of wastes requiring responsible disposal in compliance with current environmental regulations. During recent decades, increased emphasis has been placed on effluent control and treatment, in order to avoid ...

Identification of specific metabolic pathways as druggable targets regulating the sensitivity to cyanide poisoning. [PDF]
Cyanide is a potent toxic agent, and the few available antidotes are not amenable to rapid deployment in mass exposures. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to exploit different animal models to identify novel countermeasures.

Comparison of C═C bond hydrogenation in C-4 unsaturated nitriles over Pt/alumina [PDF]
The hydrogenation of allyl cyanide (but-1-ene-4-nitrile, AC), trans- and cis-crotononitrile (E- and Z-but-2-ene nitrile, TCN and CCN), and methacrylonitrile (2-cyano-1-propene, MCN) were studied, both singly and competitively, over a Pt/alumina catalyst ...

Bacterial Cheaters Evade Punishment by Cyanide
Summary: In all domains of life, mechanisms exist that protect cooperating groups from exploitation by cheaters. Recent observations with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa have suggested a paradigmatic cheater control mechanism in which cooperator ...

Spectrophotometric determination of cyanide in aqueous samples after its conversion to thiocyanate and complexation to ferric-thiocyanate [PDF]
A simple spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of traces of cyanide ion in water samples. Toxic cyanide was reacted with sulfur (S8) dissolved in acetone and converted to non-toxic thiocyanate which is more stable than cyanide also.
