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 ...

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.

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).
