Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987
Organophosphate insecticides have become increasingly popular for agricultural, industrial, and home use and represent a significant potential health risk. We have reviewed the history, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, therapy, and complications of toxic exposure to organophosphates. Promp recognition

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.

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

Organophosphate-Induced Delayed Polyneuropathy
Toxicological Reviews, 2005Organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) is a rare toxicity resulting from exposure to certain organophosphorus (OP) esters. It is characterised by distal degeneration of some axons of both the peripheral and central nervous systems occurring 1-4 weeks after single or short-term exposures.

Organophosphate polyneuropathy
Neurology, 1984Organophosphorus-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) is initiated by the phosphorylation of a protein neurotoxic esterase (NTE) in the nervous system. A second step, the "aging" of the phosphoryl-enzyme complex, is required to produce the toxic effect.

Organophosphates, Serine Esterase Inhibition, and Modeling of Organophosphate Toxicity
Toxicological Sciences, 2004The highlighted article in this issue (Ashani and Pistinner, "Estimation of the Upper Limit of Human Butyrylcholinesterase Dose Required for Protection against Organophosphates toxicity: A Mathematically Based Toxicokinetic Model") is an innovative approach to modeling the amount of protective enzyme, human butyrylcholinesterase, that could be ...

Pharmacology of organophosphates
Journal of Applied Toxicology, 1994AbstractThe cholinergic nerve fibers, which employ acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurohumoral transmitter, and the results of their activation are listed. The reactions between the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), its natural substrate, ACh, and the various types of inhibitors are described.

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.
