SILENT is a feared complication of lithium intoxication but often occurs in pts w/ comorbidities, definition is vague, unclear if preventable
these authors couldn't demonstrate histopathological changes in rats in models of acute, acute on chronic, or chronic toxicity

portal embolism (and caustic injury) common with hydrogen peroxide ingestion in this case series, % not reported, HBO performed a few times
unclear what prognostic value it has, all emboli resolved, pts did well

your scheduled reminder that every tox conference is a distillation of immense human suffering
absolute horror story
decontaministas will love this - quantifiable organophosphates in GI lavage effluent after overdose, many >6 hours after event

baths salts in Taiwan are sold and consumed as powder sachets called "toxic milk tea" and "toxic milk tea"
same Paris group that measured colchicine concentrations found plasma methadone concentrations in pts admitted to ICU for overdose poorly predicts mental status and ventilation

rapid opioid detox abandoned in US due to ++ complications
