metaldehyde

05/19/2023 - "The method was applied to real intoxication cases, and the concentration found in positive samples was between 29 and 69 µg/mL. The proposed method provides high sensitivity, accuracy and precision and can be used to assist in the diagnosis of metaldehyde poisoning."
01/01/2023 - "None of the nine cases that were followed for 3 years developed neurological signs after metaldehyde poisoning. "
01/01/2023 - "This prospective study describes clinical signs, therapeutic management and outcome of metaldehyde poisoning in dogs, and late-onset neurologic sequelae. "
01/01/2023 - "A 15-month prospective study on dogs with a diagnosis of metaldehyde poisoning, either via phone call to the animal poison control center or analysis at the toxicology laboratory in Lyon, France. "
01/01/2023 - "Metaldehyde poisoning in dogs is well known and described issue. "

01/01/2022 - "Those who attempted suicide were likelier to develop symptoms (90% versus 45%, P = 0.031), experience seizures (60% versus 18%, P = 0.049), require intensive care (50% versus 9%, P = 0.038), and suffer longer hospitalizations (13.3 days versus 2.9 days, P = 0.005), despite no statistically significant differences in the doses of metaldehyde consumed when compared against patients with accidental ingestion (9.04 g versus 2.03 g, P = 0.09). "
01/01/2023 - "To prospectively describe clinical signs, therapeutic management, outcomes, and delayed-onset seizures due to metaldehyde poisoning in dogs. "
01/01/2023 - "However, there are no prospective studies of metaldehyde poisoning and late-onset seizures. "
05/15/2020 - "An eleven-month-old, 3.0 kg, male German Spitz was presented for emergency care with acute vomiting and seizures 3 hours after suspected accidental ingestion of commercial molluscicide containing 3% metaldehyde (Lesmax®). "
08/01/1984 - "Strychnine toxicosis is characterized by inducible tetanic seizures and metaldehyde poisoning by fine fasciculations progressing to generalized tremors and seizures. "

05/15/2020 - "An eleven-month-old, 3.0 kg, male German Spitz was presented for emergency care with acute vomiting and seizures 3 hours after suspected accidental ingestion of commercial molluscicide containing 3% metaldehyde (Lesmax®). "
04/01/1986 - "Vomiting occurred less often and in a significantly lower number of metaldehyde-dosed dogs than in acetaldehyde-dosed dogs. "

04/01/1986 - "Ataxia and tremors occurred significantly more often in metaldehyde-dosed dogs than in acetaldehyde-dosed dogs. "
08/01/1984 - "Strychnine toxicosis is characterized by inducible tetanic seizures and metaldehyde poisoning by fine fasciculations progressing to generalized tremors and seizures. "

06/11/2021 - "Metaldehyde can cause paralysis and death in the mollusc, depending on the amount ingested. "
01/01/1975 - "Posterior paralysis appeared in at least 50% of the females on 5000 ppm metaldehyde in all 3 generations. "
