  • Deadly Pediatric Poisons: Nine Common Agents That Kill at Low Doses Joshua B
    Emerg Med Clin N Am 22 (2004) 1019–1050 Deadly pediatric poisons: nine common agents that kill at low doses Joshua B. Michael, MD, Matthew D. Sztajnkrycer, MD, PhD* Department of Emergency Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN 55905, USA Children are exposed more frequently to potentially toxic substances than any other age group [1]. According to data compiled by the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), more than 1.3 million exposures involving children age 12 and younger were reported to poison control centers in 2001 [2]. Of these, more than 1 million (79%) involved children 3 years old or younger. The peak incidence for pediatric poisonings occurs in toddlers age 1 to 3 years, as does the peak incidence for hospitalization [3]. Most exposures in this age group are unintentional and reflect acquisition of developmental milestones and subsequent behaviors while exploring the environment. Children may be attracted to potentially toxic substances based on color or appearance of the agent or the container, mistakenly identifying it as a candy or beverage. Younger children are more willing to taste dangerous substances than older children and perform hand-mouth behaviors nearly 10 times an hour [4,5]. Physical environmental change plays a significant role in the epidemiology of accidental ingestion [6]. In approximately half of all accidental poisonings, the product either was in use at the time of ingestion or had been moved recently from its usual storage site. Ingestion characteristics differ significantly in toddler exposures com- pared with adolescent or adult exposures [7]. Most exposures are nontoxic because the intent is exploration rather than self-harm.

  • Pathophysiology and Treatment of Pruritus in Elderly
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Pathophysiology and Treatment of Pruritus in Elderly Bo Young Chung † , Ji Young Um †, Jin Cheol Kim , Seok Young Kang , Chun Wook Park and Hye One Kim * Department of Dermatology, Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University, Seoul KS013, Korea; [email protected] (B.Y.C.); [email protected] (J.Y.U.); [email protected] (J.C.K.); [email protected] (S.Y.K.); [email protected] (C.W.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Pruritus is a relatively common symptom that anyone can experience at any point in their life and is more common in the elderly. Pruritus in elderly can be defined as chronic pruritus in a person over 65 years old. The pathophysiology of pruritus in elderly is still unclear, and the quality of life is reduced. Generally, itch can be clinically classified into six types: Itch caused by systemic diseases, itch caused by skin diseases, neuropathic pruritus, psychogenic pruritus, pruritus with multiple factors, and from unknown causes. Senile pruritus can be defined as a chronic pruritus of unknown origin in elderly people. Various neuronal mediators, signaling mechanisms at neuronal terminals, central and peripheral neurotransmission pathways, and neuronal sensitizations are included in the processes causing itch. A variety of therapies are used and several novel drugs are being developed to relieve itch, including systemic and topical treatments. Keywords: elderly; ion channel; itch; neurotransmission pathophysiology of itch; pruritogen; senile pruritus; treatment of itch 1.

  • Matrine Inhibits Itching by Lowering the Activity of Calcium Channel

SFR is also used to treat a variety of itching diseases. Matrine (MT) is one of the main constituents in SFR and also has the efect of relieving itching, but the antipruritic mechanism is still unclear. Here, we investigated the efect of MT on anti-pruritus. In acute and chronic itch models, MT signifcantly inhibited the scratching behavior not only in acute itching induced by histamine (His), chloroquine (CQ) and compound 48/80 with a dose-depended manner, but also in the chronic pruritus models of atopic dermatitis (AD) and acetone-ether-water (AEW) in mice. Furthermore, MT could be detected in the blood after intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) and subcutaneous injection (s.c.). Finally, electrophysiological and calcium imaging results showed that MT inhibited the excitatory synaptic transmission from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord by suppressing the presynaptic N-type calcium channel. Taken together, we believe that MT is a novel drug candidate in treating pruritus diseases, especially for histamine-independent and chronic pruritus, which might be attributed to inhibition of the presynaptic N-type calcium channel.

Accepted 21 November, 2004 Numerous members of the Anthemideae are important cut-flower and ornamental crops, as well as medicinal and aromatic plants, many of which produce essential oils used in folk and modern medicine, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These oils and compounds contained within them are used in the pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance industries. Moreover, as people search for alternative and herbal forms of medicine and relaxation (such as aromatherapy), and provided that there are no suitable synthetic substitutes for many of the compounds or difficulty in profiling and mimicking complex compound mixtures in the volatile oils, the original plant extracts will continue to be used long into the future. This review highlights the importance of secondary metabolites and essential oils from principal members of this tribe, their global social, medicinal and economic relevance and potential.

It has also been shown that selective opioid receptor agonists exert potent inhibitory action on pruritus and pain. In this study we examined whether two analogues of Salvinorin A, PR-37 and PR-38, exhibit antipruritic properties in mice. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH To examine the antiscratch effect of PR-37 and PR-38 we used a mouse model of compound 48/80-induced pruritus.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Chronic pruritus is a major symptom in numerous dermatological and systemic diseases. Similar to chronic pain, chronic pruritus can have a dramatic impact on the quality of life and can worsen the general condition of the patient considerably. The pathogenesis of itch is diverse and involves a complex network of cutaneous and neuronal cells. In recent years, more and more itch-specific mediators and receptors, such as interleukin-31, gastrin-releasing peptide receptor or histamine H4 receptor have been identified and the concept of itch-specific neurons has been further characterized. Understanding of the basic principles is important for development of target-specific treatment of patients with chronic pruritus. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the pathophysiological principles of itch and provide an overview about current and future treatment options. Received: 26 May 2010; Accepted: 16 August 2010 Keywords atopic dermatitis, itch, mast cell, pruritus, urticaria Key points d Chronic pruritus is a common problem affecting a large proportion of the population. d The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying chronic pruritus are still insufficiently understood. d In the skin, diverse and complex interactions of keratinocytes, mast cells and sensory nerves largely determine the occurrence and the control of pruritus.
