BACKGROUND Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte abnormality commonly seen in the emergency department (ED). Intentional overdose of potassium supplements is an uncommon occurrence. OBJECTIVE This case illustrates a novel approach to treatment of pharmacobezoar with

BACKGROUND Reported cases of potassium overdoses have shown that this condition could generate several morbidities, mainly related to cardiac dysrhythmias even with fatal outcomes in some cases. Potassium salts in extended release tablets could form pharmacobezoars if a large amount is ingested. In

Hyperkalemia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders, responsible for a high number of adverse outcomes, including life-threatening arrhythmias. Potassium binders are largely prescribed drugs used for hyperkalemia treatment but unfortunately, there are many adverse events associated with its

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie's syndrome) has previously been reported in 2 patients with theophylline toxicity treated with activated charcoal (AC), mechanical ventilation and opioid induced sedation. We report a case of Ogilvie's syndrome in a theophylline toxic patient treated with AC. A

BACKGROUND Invasive candidiasis is an increasing problem in neonatal intensive care units worldwide and is an important cause of morbidity, mortality and prolongation of hospital stay. Despite administration of amphotericin B, invasive candidiasis in neonates is sometimes complicated by persistent

The diameters of fibres from phytobezoars varied between 2 and 30 microns, with an average 58% measuring less than < 15 microns, 36% between 15 and 23 microns, and 6% greater than 23 microns. These diameters were very similar to those of the pappus hairs surrounding the seeds of the Karoo bushes
