Intensive care management of organophosphate insecticide poisoning [PDF]
Organophosphate (OP) insecticides inhibit both cholinesterase and pseudo-cholinesterase activities. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase causes accumulation of acetylcholine at synapses, and overstimulation of neurotransmission occurs as a result of this accumulation. The mortality rate of OP poisoning is high.

Transcriptional Profiles for Glutamate Transporters Reveal Differences Between Organophosphates but Similarities with Unrelated Neurotoxicants [PDF]
The developmental neurotoxicity of organophosphates involves mechanisms other than their shared property as cholinesterase inhibitors, among which are excitotoxicity and oxidative stress.

Environmental Exposures and Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown,

Organophosphate Insecticide Poisoning and its Management [PDF]
The organophosphate insecticides have become widely used in agriculture and in home gardening. There has been an increase in accidental and intentional poisoning. Almost all these compounds are potent cholinesterase inhibitors, and signs of poisoning are attributable to the accumulation of acetylcholine.
