3 out of 5 stars DEVELOPMENT OF HEPATIC FAILURE DESPITE USE OF INTRAVENOUS ACETYLCYSTEINE AFTER A MASSIVE INGESTION OF ACETAMINOPHEN AND DIPHENHYDRAMINE. Schwartz EA et al. Ann Emerg Med Sept. 2009;54:421-423. Abstract This uncommonly interesting case report describes a 48-year-old woman who ingested 150 tablets of Tylenol PM, each containing 500 mg acetaminophen and 25 mg diphenhydramine. On arrival at hospital, she had clear signs of anticholinergic overdose (tachycardia, dry skin, encephalopathy) but normal liver enzymes and INR. The initial 4 hour acetaminophen (APAP) level — 104 mcg/ml — was below the ...

Quantitative analysis of diphenhydramine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical wafers using near infrared and Raman spectroscopy.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Wafers with varying concentrations of diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH-HCl) as active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) were prepared and their near infrared (NIR) and Raman spectra recorded. The purpose of this study was to compare the suitability of these two vibrational spectroscopic techniques for the quantification of DPH-HCl in pharmaceutical wafers. Partial least squares (PLS1) calibration models with different data pretreatments were tested. Both NIR and Raman spectroscopy proved to be suitable to predict DPH-HCl contents at lower concentration ranges. At higher concentrations, interference by crystallization p...

How to Stay Sharp as a TackEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
(NaturalNews) A few days ago a song got stuck in my head- the slow, haunting violin melody that set the mood in the movie Platoon. But I couldn't recall who wrote it, and it bugged me. Later, when I wasn't thinking about it, I suddenly remembered it was Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.We all have episodes like this. We forget names and misplace things. We lose our train of thought, and we walk into rooms with no recollection of why we went there in the first place. This is normal human behavior. Now, forgetting a close family member's name, constantly repeating yourself, or getting lost in familiar places is another iss...

Evaluating the positive predictive values of antidote signals to detect potential adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the medical intensive care unit (ICU)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Signals are used to alert clinicians of potential ADRs. Positive predictive values (PPVs) of antidote signals in ICUs are unknown. The primary purpose was to determine PPVs of six signals. The secondary objective was to determine the sensitivity of various ADR detection strategies including manual chart review, administrative data review, and voluntary reporting at identifying the same ADRs discovered using antidotes as a signal.Adult patients admitted to a medical ICU from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 who were prescribed select signals were eligible. Evaluated antidote signals included injectable diphenhydramine, protami...

How to Treat a Jellyfish StingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
One of the benefits of being a freelance writer and consultant is being able to live anywhere. I live near the beach, which is where I head whenever the surf is up. The Carolina coast is wonderful, but it is home to some jellyfish that can leave a painful sting. We encountered one of these today. How did we know? Not that many things will sting like a hundred wasps at once out in the surf. We didn't get any tentacles stuck to us, which would have been another way to tell it was a jellyfish. The real giveaway was seeing the actual animal floating in the tide. A little practical chemistry helped to minimize the pain and dama...

Enantioselective determination of trantinterol in rat plasma by ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry after derivatization.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
An ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of trantinterol enantiomers in rat plasma. Diphenhydramine was employed as the internal standard. The plasma samples were prepared using liquid-liquid extraction with n-hexane-dichloromethane-isopropanol (20:10:1, v/v/v) as the extractant. Trantinterol enantiomers after pre-column derivatization using diacetyl-l-tartaric anhydride (DATAAN) were separated on a C18 column using a gradient solvent programme. The mobile phase was composed of 3mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile. The det...

Severe cutaneous reaction to cetuximab with possible association with the use of over-the-counter skin care products in a patient with oropharyngeal cancer.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
DISCUSSION: Our report describes a sudden flare-up of a skin rash (Grade 3) after the 5th cycle of cetuximab following use of OTC skin care remedies, which was unusual for this patient, suggesting a possible relation to the therapy. Skin crucially depends on EGFR for its normal function and becomes extremely sensitive during cetuximab therapy. Topical OTC acne and dry skin remedies can suddenly change the mild acneiform rash into severe skin toxicity associated with marked desquamation and exfoliation. Avoidance of further skin damage caused by topical applications and the use of doxycycline and diphenhydramine show a sign...

A series of 4-amino-2-(substituted)-5-(substituted)aryl-6-[(substituted)aryl)-amino]pyrimidines was designed based on the triangular pharmacophoric requirements for histamine H1-receptor antagonists. The designed molecules were synthesized by condensation of arylacetonitriles with respective arylisothiocyanates to form corresponding acrylonitriles followed by cyclocondensation with carboxamidines to afford substituted pyrimidines. All compounds were screened for their histamine H1-receptor antagonistic activity using the model "Inhibition of the isotonic contraction induced by histamine on isolated guinea pig ileum". T...

Effects of anserine on the renal sympathetic nerve and blood pressure in urethane-anesthetized rats.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Previous studies have demonstrated that central injection of L-carnosine (beta-alynyl-L-histidine), dipeptide synthesized in mammalian muscles, affects renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and blood pressure (BP) in anesthetized rats. In the present study, using urethane-anesthetized rats, we examined the dose-dependent effects of intravenous (IV) injection of various doses of anserine, dipeptide of similar structure to L-carnosine, on RSNA, BP and heart rate (HR). We found that injection of a low dose of anserine (1 microg) suppressed RSNA, BP and HR significantly. Conversely, a high dose (1000 microg) of anserine ...
