Dose-Response Modelling of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) in Humans
Toxins, 2018 Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is caused by a group of marine toxins with saxitoxin (STX) as the reference compound. Symptoms in humans after consumption of contaminated shellfish vary from slight neurological and gastrointestinal effects to fatal ...

Paralytic strabismus: the role of botulinum toxin. [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1985 Five adults with acute extraocular muscle palsies followed by limited recovery of muscle function were treated with injections of botulinum toxin A to the ipsilateral antagonist of the affected muscle. Three were cases of unilateral sixth nerve palsy, one of bilateral sixth nerve palsy, and one of third nerve palsy.
