BACKGROUND Foodborne botulism is a neuroparalytic disease caused by ingestion of food contaminated with botulinum toxins. Despite rare the mortality rate is high if untreated. Diagnosis of botulism is still a challenge for clinician, due to the variability of clinical manifestations and disease

A child of 14 months accidentally swallowed a portion of an Ecstasy pill. Forty minutes after ingestion, he started a generalized convulsion. He also presented hyperthermia (38 degrees C), hypertension, tachycardia (130 bpm), ventricular extrasystoles, tachypnea (50 rpm), and mydriasis. At the

The pharmacological effects of individual and combined intravenous doses of the antihistamine tripelennamine and the psychotomimetic sigma benzomorphan opioid derivative, N-allylnormetazocine (NANM), on nociceptive reflexes, autonomic parameters and behavior were assessed in the chronic spinal dog.

A 24-year-old male presented to the emergency department with hyperadrenergic manifestations of fenfluramine-phentermine overdose: tachycardia, mydriasis, fever, diaphoresis, hyperventilation, and combativeness. Sedatives, neuromuscular paralytics, adrenergic antagonists, and mechanical ventilation
