Human toxicity Digoxin is a very toxic compound, with an estimated lethal dose being only a few milligrams. Nausea and vomiting are early signs of acute digoxin toxicity. Among other symptoms are gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) disorders, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hyperkalemia, and muscle pain and weakness. Since digoxin is a cardiac medicine, its overdoses can have severe and multiple effects on...

abstract in respect to nano-technological studies and physiological and biochemical lesions of these materials on aquatic animals, in this study we examine the toxicity effects of nano-zinc oxide (zno nps) on hematological indices of common carp (cyprinus carpio). lc50 of nano zinc oxide was determined according to the mortality at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, respectively. during separate experime...

BACKGROUND The aim of this review was to estimate the lethal and exposure doses of a representative symptom (blindness) of methanol exposure in humans by reviewing data from previous articles. METHODS Available articles published from 1970 to 2016 that investigated the dose-response relationship for methanol exposure (i.e., the exposure concentration and the biological markers/clinical sympto...

The Caspian trout is an endangered and quite vulnerable fish, considered for a natural protection program in the southern area of the Caspian Sea. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) are toxic substances, which induce oxidative stress, not to mention other pathophysiological states. The toxicity of nanoparticles on fish needs more characterization for short- and long-term effects.  Thus, the p...

Randomly selected 320 fingerling of Labeo rohita were collected from Faheem fish farm, Mattital Road, Multan. Groups of 40 fish each were exposed to subleathal concentration of imidacloprid (120 mg L-1) under short (2, 4 and 8 days) and long term (16, 32 and 64 days) conditions to access the effect of this most extensively used pesticide on the body composition parameters of economically most i...
