Percutaneous Organophosphate Poisoning
Southern Medical Journal, 1987After cutaneous application of the organophosphate insecticide Diazinon for pubic lice, our patient had symptoms of cholinergic excess, lost consciousness, and had a seizure. Because of the high index of clinical suspicion for potentially lethal organophosphate poisoning, the patient received empiric therapy with pralidoxime and atropine and completely

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1993
The present review discusses the structure of the anticholinesterase organophosphates (OPs), which are used predominantly as insecticides. OP poisoning can occur in a variety of situations and can be accidental or suicidal. It is common in developing countries.

Opsoclonus in Organophosphate Poisoning
Archives of Neurology, 1989Transient opsoclonus was observed in a patient who attempted suicide with the organophosphate insecticide Malathion (diethyl[dimethoxyphosphinothioyl]thiobutanedioate). Several toxins can cause opsoclonus, and these must be considered in its differential diagnosis.

Nursing RSA = Verpleging RSA, 1994
The number of patients admitted to Intensive Care Units with organophosphate poisoning are a source of concern. Also distressing is the fact that organophosphates are often being used in suicide attempts. It is therefore imperative that the nurse acquires and retains the necessary skills for caring for these patients.

Organophosphate and Carbamate Poisoning
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2015Organophosphates (OPs) and carbamates have a wide variety of applications, most commonly as pesticides used to eradicate agricultural pests or control populations of disease-carrying vectors. Some OP and carbamates have therapeutic indications such as physostigmine.

Brain Involvement in Organophosphate Poisoning
Environmental Research, 1997Organophosphate poisonings cause substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, the neurological effects have not been clearly established. We have studied cerebral perfusion to investigate neurotoxic effects. Clinical effects, plasma cholinesterase activity, and brain single photon emission computerization tomography (SPECT) data were ...

Therapy In Organophosphate Poisoning
Acta Clinica Belgica, 1976SummaryThe therapy of an intoxication by cholinesterase-inhibitors consists of the administration of atropine for symptomatic treatment, of the administration of oximes as a causal therapy and of general supportive measures. The dose of atropine is chosen according to the intensity of the poisoning; the therapeutic use of oximes is briefly discussed.

Cardiodepression in Organophosphate Poisonings
1985During clinical epidemiological investigation of acute human organophosphate intoxication a cardiodepressive form of poisoning was recognised. It had a bad prognosis with a high incidence of lethality. The cardiodepressive form involved mechano- and electrodepression which were manifested in cardiogenic shock and sudden atrioventricular block or both ...

Boletin de la Asociacion Medica de Puerto Rico, 1991
Organophosphate compounds insecticides are the most commonly associated with serious human toxicity. We reviewed the adult cases of organophosphate poisoning seen at HURRA from January 1986 to January 1990. We had 14 cases, all male patients. The most common mode of exposure was by ingestion in a suicidal attempt, (8/14 cases).
