Clin Toxicol 2015; online early: doi: 10.3109/15563650.2015.1022896: Introduction Tolperisone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that acts by blocking voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels. There is a lack of information on the clinical features of tolperisone poisoning in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the demographics, circumstances and clinical features of acute overdoses with tolperisone. Methods An observational study of acute overdoses of tolperisone, either alone or in combination with one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in a dose range not expected to cause central nervous system effects, in adults and children (< 16 years), reported to our poison centre between 1995 and 2013. Current Awareness in Clinical Toxicology is produced monthly for the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology by the Birmingham Unit of the UK National Poisons Information Service, with contributions from the Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Newcastle Units. The NPIS is commissioned by Public Health England Results 75 cases were included: 51 females (68%) and 24 males (32%); 45 adults (60%) and 30 children (40%). Six adults (13%) and 17 children (57%) remained asymptomatic, and mild symptoms were seen in 25 adults (56%) and 10 children (33%).

  • Highly Selective Addition of Organic Dichalcogenides to Carbon-Carbon Unsaturated Bonds
    Highly Selective Addition of Organic Dichalcogenides to Carbon-Carbon Unsaturated Bonds Akiya Ogawa and Noboru Sonoda Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Osaka University, Abstract: Highly chemo-, regio- and/or stereoselective addition of organic dichalcogenides to carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds has been achieved based on two different methodologies for activation of the chalcogen-chalcogen bonds, i.e., by the aid of transition metal catalysts and by photoirradiation. The former is the novel transition metal-catalyzed reactions of organic dichalcogenides with acetylenes via oxidative addition of dichalcogenides to low valent transition metal complexes such as Pd(PPh3)4. The latter is the photoinitiated radical addition of organic dichalcogenides to carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds via homolytic cleavage of the chalcogen-chalcogen bonds to generate the corresponding chalcogen-centered radicals as the key species. 1. Introduction The clarification of the specific chemical properties of heteroatoms and the development of useful synthetic reactions based on these characteristic features have been the subject of continuing interest (ref. 1). This paper deals with new synthetic methods for introducing group 16 elements into organic molecules, particularly, synthetic reactions based on the activation of organic dichalcogenides, i.e., disulfides, diselenides, and ditellurides, by transition metal catalysts and by photoirradiation. In transition metal-catalyzed reactions, metal sulfides (RS-ML) are formed as the key species, whereas the thiyl radicals (ArS•E) play important roles in photoinitiated reactions. These species exhibit different selectivities toward the addition process to carbon-carbon unsaturated compounds. The intermediates formed in situ by the addition, i.e., vinylic metals and vinylic radicals, could successfully be subjected to further manipulation leading to useful synthetic transformations.

The effect of adding unsymmetrical diniethyihydrazine was de- termined.. Also measured was the effect of added water on the character- istic exhaust velocity of red fuming nitric acid with JP-4, toluene, or hydrazine fuels. The results, along with those from previous studies, are discussed in terms of a vaporization model of combustion. The experimental trends are consistent with the hypothesis that for spontaneously reacting fuels heat generation within mixed fuel-acid droplets can accelerate combus- tion; added water has very specific effects in such cases.

  • EPA Method 8315A (SW-846): Determination of Carbonyl Compounds by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
    METHOD 8315A DETERMINATION OF CARBONYL COMPOUNDS BY HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (HPLC) 1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION 1.1 This method provides procedures for the determination of free carbonyl compounds in various matrices by derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH). The method utilizes high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) detection to identify and quantitate the target analytes. This method includes two procedures encompassing all aspects of the analysis (extraction to determination of concentration). Procedure 1 is appropriate for the analysis of aqueous, soil and waste samples and stack samples collected by Method 0011. Procedure 2 is appropriate for the analysis of indoor air samples collected by Method 0100. The list of target analytes differs by procedure. The appropriate procedure for each target analyte is listed in the table below.

When used in the regulated, approved manner as Alar was before it was with- drawn in 1989, Alar-treated apple products posed no hazard to the health of children or adults.” — C. Everett Koop, M.D. Executive Summary In early 1989, this country suffered the public relations equivalent of a natural disaster, one that most scientists now believe should never have occurred.

  • Abstract Measurement and Analysis of Bromate Ion
    ABSTRACT MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF BROMATE ION REDUCTION IN SYNTHETIC GASTRIC JUICE by Jason Dimitrius Keith Bromate ion is a possible carcinogen that is regulated by the US EPA at a Maximum Contamination Level (MCL) of 10 µg/L in drinking water. In order to propose an improved scientifically appropriate bromate ion MCL, a more rigorous scientific methodology is needed for determining low level dose health risks. The objectives of this research project were to measure bromate ion with oxidizing and/or reducing agents typically ingested in foods and drinking water. The loss of bromate ion in HCl is too slow for significant reduction in the stomach. -5 Addition of 10 M H2S, a gastric juice component, decreases the half-life from 153 to 14 minutes. The ingested reducing agents iodide ion, nitrite ion, and iron(II) decrease the lifetime of bromate ion in the stomach. Chlorine, monochloramine, and iron(III) have little actual effect on the lifetime of bromate ion. The measured rates and chemical details of the reactions are discussed.
