Acute Kidney Injury, Myocardial Infarction and Death Following Brake Fluid Poisoning; A Case Report
Background: Ethylene glycol is a toxic alcohol which is used in brake fluid, antifreeze, coolants, preservatives and chemical solvents. Ethylene glycol poisoning usually results in depression of the central nervous system, renal insufficiency and cardiopulmonary compromise, while laboratory findings include metabolic acidosis, increased anion gap, increased osmolar gap and calcium oxalate cryst...
متن کاملAcute Myocardial Infarction in a 17-Year-Old Boy Secondary to Lightning Strike
Although lightning is an uncommon phenomenon in nature; it can cause many destructive incidents. In the event of a lightning strike, multiple organs particularly the cardiovascular systems are at risk of injury. Short-term mortality depends on its cardiac effects. In this paper, the authors report the development of myocardial infarction and pericardial effusion after lightning injury, a typica...

Background: Arsenic toxicity as a result of consumption of hair removal agent has been rarely seen in last few years in comparison with the past. Case Presentation: In this case report, we presented a middle age woman referred to medical toxicology department due to epigastric pain and diarrhea following ingestion of hair removal agent. Urinary test for arsenic was positive. ECG changes and ele...
متن کاملAlterations in the Interleukin-1/Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Balance Modulate Cardiac Remodeling following Myocardial Infarction in the Mouse
BACKGROUND Healing after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is characterized by an intense inflammatory response and increased Interleukin-1 (IL-1) tissue activity. Genetically engineered mice lacking the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R1-/-, not responsive to IL-1) or the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra, enhanced response to IL-1) have an altered IL-1/IL-1Ra balance that we hypothesize modulates infarct h...
متن کاملFunctional and histopathological improvement of the post-infarcted rat heart upon myoblast cell grafting and relaxin therapy
Although the myocardium contains progenitor cells potentially capable of regenerating tissue upon lethal ischaemic injury, their actual role in post-infarction heart healing is negligible. Therefore, transplantation of extra-cardiac stem cells is a promising therapeutic approach for post-infarction heart dysfunction. Paracrine cardiotropic factors released by the grafted cells, such as the card...
