Neurotoxicity. The only human data on neurotoxicity come from case reports of occupational exposures to chlordane in which the route was not specified, and for which the effects could not be related directly to heptachlor or heptachlor epoxide alone (Dadey and Kammer 1953). Signs of neurotoxicity, such as irritability, salivation, lethargy, dizziness, labored respiration, muscle tremors, and convulsions, were reported. No data exist describing neurologic effects in animals following inhalation exposure of any duration. Acute and intermediate oral studies in animals provide support for the supposition that the neurotoxicity of chlordane seen in humans may be due in part to heptachlor or heptachlor epoxide. Although there are no reasons to suspect that neurotoxic effects... 

Neurological Headache, coma, loss of reflexes, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, seizures, electroencephalogram abnormalities Organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy manifested by flaccidity or paralysis of extremities, paresthesias, footdrop, gait ataxia, spasticity develops 1-2 weeks after exposure Intermediate syndrome 1-4 days after exposure manifested by weakness of proximal limb and respirator muscles, loss of knee reflexes, cranial nerve palsy, death... 

The LD50 values of different preparations of coltsfoot flower bud in mice are 124 g/kg after oral administration of a decoction, 112 g/kg after intraperitoneal administration of an alcohol extract, and 43 g/kg after intraperitoneal administration of an ether extract (Chen and Chen 2004). Overdose of the flower bud led to restlessness, excitation, mania, increased respiration, muscle stiffness, tremor, and muscle spasms (Chen and Chen 2004).

Desmolases attack the inter-carbon linkage, and thereby effect the cleavage of organic compounds during tissue respiration, muscle glycolysis, sugar fermentation, and similar events intimately associated with the continuous maintenance of life. Most of the desmolases are endo-enzymes, and occur as members of complex systems, accompanied by other enzymes, co-enzymes and activators. 

Potassium is required for enzyme activity in a few special cases, the most widely studied example of which is the enzyme pymvate kinase. In plants it is required for protein and starch synthesis. Potassium is also involved in water and nutrient transport within and into the plant, and has a role in photosynthesis. Although sodium and potassium are similar in their inorganic chemical behavior, these ions are different in their physiological activities. In fact, their functions are often mutually antagonistic. For example, increases both the respiration rate in muscle tissue and the rate of protein synthesis, whereas inhibits both processes (42). 

Barium metal and most barium compounds are highly poisonous. A notable exception is barium sulfate which is nontoxic because of its extreme iasolubihty ia water. Barium ion acts as a muscle stimulant and can cause death through ventricular fibrillation of the heart. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid contact with open areas of the skin. Workers must wear respirators (of type approved for toxic airborne particles), goggles, gloves, and protective clothing at all times. The toxic barium aluminate residue obtained from barium production is detoxified by reaction with a solution of ferrous sulfate and converted iato nontoxic barium sulfate. According to OSHA standards, the TWA value for Ba and Ba compounds ia air is 0.5 mg/m. ... 

The nurse must report symptoms of succinimide overdosage immediately. Symptoms of overdosage in dude confuson, sleepiness, unsteadiness flaccid muscles slow shallow respirations nausea, vomiting, hypotension, absent reflexes nd CNS depression leading to coma. It is important to report symptoms to the primary health care provider immediately. Therapeutic serum blood levels of ethosuximide (Zarontin) range from 40 to 100 mcg/mL...

Fermentation occurs naturally in various microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, fungi and in mammalian muscle. Yeasts were discovered to have connection with fermentation as observed by Louis Pasteur and originally defined as respiration without air. However, it does not have to always occur in anaerobic condition. For example, starch when fermented under...
