چکیده
This is the third article of a three-part series that reviews the care of poisoned patients in the ICU. This article focuses on natural toxins, such as heavy metals and those produced by plants, mushrooms, arthropods, and snakes. The first article discussed the general approach to the patient, including laboratory testing; the second article focused on specific toxic agents, grouped into categories.

متن کاملThree new scorpion chloride channel toxins as potential anti-cancer drugs: Computational prediction of the interactions with hMMP-2 by docking and Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Scorpion venom is a rich source of toxins which have great potential to develop new therapeutic agents. Scorpion chloride channel toxins (ClTxs), such as Chlorotoxin selectively inhibit human Matrix Methaloproteinase-2 (hMMP-2). The inhibitors of hMMP-2 have potential use in cancer therapy. Three new ClTxs, meuCl14, meuCl15 and meuCl16, derived from the venom transcriptome of Iranian scorpion, ...

Marine and terrestrial food sources are susceptible to contamination by various industrial chemicals and microbial pathogens. Both types of hazard are amenable to regulatory assessment using a single toxicology data base, along with some knowledge of contaminant levels and consumption figures for food. On the other hand, regulatory problems persist with acutely toxic naturally occurring phycoto...
