				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study assessed the knowledge of nursing staff regarding the handling of Antineoplastic Agents and their associated risks at the Regional Oncology Center and Hematology Department of the Regional Hospital Center in Beni Mellal, Morocco.Methods: This mixed-methods descriptive study evaluated nurses’ knowledge regarding the handling of Antineoplastic agents (ANAs). A pilot study involved 31 nurses from the oncology and hematology departments at Beni Mellal Regional Hospital. Data collection utilized a multi-method approach, including: (i) a questionnaire, (ii) observational studies of nursing staff, and (iii) interviews with department heads.Results: The findings revealed concerning gaps in nurses’ knowledge and practices regarding Antineoplastic Drugs. Notably, 69% of nurses were unaware of the occupational risks associated with ANAs, and the same percentage had experienced at least one accident while handling these drugs. Moreover, 66% of nurses lacked continuing education training on ANAs. All nurses in the hematology department reported receiving no training after their assignment, which the department head confirmed. Department heads also acknowledged that ANAs received no specific storage or handling precautions but were treated like ordinary drugs. The study identified significant discrepancies between nurses’ self-reported use of protective measures and their observed practices.Conclusion: Recommendations for reducing risks associated with Antineoplastic and other Hazardous Drugs (ANAs) among nurses were developed from these findings. A subsequent study will examine the health impacts of ANA handling among healthcare staff in Moroccan oncology centers.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study aimed to evaluate the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and the severity of intoxication in patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) using the Ankara Poisoning Criteria, PGI, Mascot, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores.Methods: This prospective observational study included intoxicated patients aged over 18 years who were admitted to the ED over a 1-year period. Demographic data, clinical parameters, and various intoxication scoring systems were used to assess poisoning severity and ICU admission needs. The diagnostic performance was evaluated using ROC curves, and risk factors for ICU admission were determined through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results: A total of 210 patients were included. Half (n=105) were admitted to the ICU, and the other half were monitored in the ED. The median age was 30 years, and 52.9% of patients were male. Significant differences in age and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores were observed between ICU-admitted and ED-discharged patients (p&lt;0.05). In multivariate analysis, age, Ankara Criteria scores, and Mascot scores were identified as independent risk factors for ICU admission (p&lt;0.01). The Ankara Criteria demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy for predicting ICU admission.Conclusion: The Ankara Poisoning Criteria is a reliable and effective tool for assessing poisoning severity and predicting ICU admission.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency, leading to chronic hyperglycemia. The potential therapeutic applications of scorpion venom have gained attention in recent years, particularly in the context of diabetes management. Therefore, our aim is to investigate the effect of A. crassicauda scorpion venom on biochemical factors of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Methods: In this study, diabetes was defined as any blood sugar level over 250 mg/dL in male Wistar rats induced by a single dose of streptozotocin intraperitoneally. The animals were divided into five groups, two of which received scorpion venom. Afterwards, the levels of blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), urea, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured. In addition, histopathological changes in the liver and kidneys were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) staining. Results: It was found that Androctonus crassicauda scorpion venom reduced blood sugar. Other biochemical factors were also decreased compared to the diabetic group, and histological analysis showed partial repair of degenerated liver and kidney cells after venom injection compared with diabetic rats not treated with venom.Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the effect of Androctonus crassicauda scorpion venom on diabetes is positive and reduces diabetic symptoms. Therefore, scorpion venom may be a viable option for managing diabetes in the future. ]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: While numerous studies have delved into the analysis of ketamine (KET) in biological samples, this forthcoming study undertook a systematic review of diverse methods for identifying KET in various biological samples to attain a more precise estimation.Methods: Research articles published from 2004 to September 30, 2024, were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. A methodical search was conducted using English search terms, such as “Ketamine” OR “K” OR “ketamine hydrochloride” OR “Norketamine” OR “NK” OR “N-desmethyl ketamine” OR “2-amino-2-(2-chlorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one” OR “(+-)-Hydroxynorketamine” OR “HNK” OR “Dehydronorketamine” OR “DNK” OR “Metabolites” AND “Analysis” OR “Analytical techniques” OR “Analytical innovations” OR “Methods” OR “Identification” OR “Gas chromatography” OR “Liquid chromatography” OR “Mass Spectrometry” AND “Biological samples” OR “Biological matrices”. The selection criteria were established according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.Results: Out of 3,450 articles identified in the initial systematic search, 50 met the inclusion criteria and were investigated in this study. The findings revealed that advanced hyphenated analytical methods combined with mass spectrometry (MS), such as gas chromatography-MS (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-MS (LC-MS)were prominent. Additionally, liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction were the prevailing methods employed for KET sample preparation.Conclusion: Overall, a comprehensive understanding of the available identification methods for KET and its metabolites is essential for accurate and reliable analysis in various fields, including clinical research, forensic investigations, and drug monitoring programs.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Organophosphorus poisoning (OP) represents a significant public health issue, particularly in developing countries, due to its extensive availability and high toxicity. Standard management includes atropine and oximes such as Toxogonin; however, emerging evidence suggests potential adverse effects associated with oximes.Case presentation: This case report examines the uncommon occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a 64-year-old Egyptian farmer following accidental dermal and inhalational exposure to OP pesticides. The patient presented with symptoms of OP poisoning, including dizziness, sweating, and fasciculations. Initial treatment with atropine and Toxogonin (obidoxime) resulted in temporary symptomatic improvement. Nevertheless, renal function progressively deteriorated after initiating Toxogonin therapy, evidenced by elevated urea and creatinine levels. Renal impairment coincided temporally with Toxogonin administration and improved following its cessation.Discussion: Potential mechanisms of Toxogonin-induced AKI include direct nephrotoxicity, altered renal perfusion, or immune-mediated injury. Other causes, such as rhabdomyolysis, systemic hypotension, or intrinsic OP nephrotoxicity, were ruled out to reinforce the likelihood of oxime-related renal impairment. While oximes are essential in OP poisoning management, this case emphasizes the necessity for clinical vigilance concerning their potential nephrotoxic effects.Conclusion: The findings highlight the need to reassess the use of oximes, especially in patients with pre-existing renal conditions. Furthermore, additional research is required to elucidate the mechanisms and determine risk factors associated with oxime-induced nephrotoxicity.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Paraquat is one of the most widely used herbicides worldwide. It is quick-acting and non-selective, killing green plant tissue on contact. Paraquat poisoning is a critical condition with a high mortality rate due to its extreme toxicity, particularly with regard to its impact on lung health.Case Presentation: This case report delineates the clinical progression and therapeutic interventions for a 33-year-old Iranian male who survived a substantial ingestion of paraquat, an occurrence that is frequently associated with deleterious outcomes. The patient was admitted following a suicide attempt involving paraquat, manifesting symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and erythematous rashes. Despite receiving immediate and intensive treatment, including hemodialysis, antioxidant therapy, and comprehensive supportive care, the patient experienced acute lung injury on the fifth day of hospitalization, as confirmed by computed tomography (CT) scans.Discussion: This case underscores the critical importance of early intervention and ongoing monitoring in the management of paraquat poisoning, particularly in reducing the risk of severe complications like lung injury. While the patient was ultimately discharged in stable condition, the development of lung damage underscores the need for further research into more effective therapies for paraquat toxicity.Conclusion: This report contributes to the limited clinical knowledge surrounding paraquat poisoning, offering valuable insights for healthcare providers dealing with similar cases.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Eucalyptus oil is a volatile hydrocarbon produced by the distillation process from Eucalyptus leaves. The oil can be absorbed through dermal exposure, inhalation, and ingestion. The symptoms of poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and coma, and seizures and kidney injuries have been reported as some of the complications. The poisoning-related complications are more common in children than adults.Case presentation: In this study, we included six adult patients who presented to the emergency department and developed rhabdomyolysis as a complication during their hospital stay. All the cases had a history of eucalyptus oil intoxication. The mean age of the cohort, comprising two males and four females, was 25±4 years. The average amount of eucalyptus oil exposure was 14±7 mL. Two patients underwent dialysis, and one required mechanical ventilatory support. All six cases were discharged from the hospital after complete recovery. Discussion: Rhabdomyolysis is a rare complication of eucalyptus oil poisoning. The study participants initially presented a wide spectrum of complaints, such as asymptomatic (n=1), convulsions (n=3), pain in the abdomen (n=1), and vomiting(n=1). Surprisingly, patients asymptomatic at presentation also developed rhabdomyolysis. The typical treatment for eucalyptus oil poisoning involves supportive care and close monitoring of vital signs. Patients who developed eucalyptus oil-associated rhabdomyolysis were treated with intravenous fluid, diuretics, and corticosteroids.Conclusion: Rhabdomyolysis is a rare complication following ingestion of eucalyptus oil. Awareness of this complication is vital for early diagnosis and proper treatment, especially in regions where eucalyptus oil is readily available and used.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Accidental acid ingestion in children is a severe yet preventable emergency, often leading to fatal complications. It is more common in regions where acids are easily accessible due to inadequate safety regulations and improper storage. Such incidents can cause extensive gastrointestinal and systemic damage, requiring immediate medical intervention.Case Presentation: A 6-year-old boy accidentally ingested acid at home, leading to severe vomiting, respiratory distress, and extreme pain. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where initial stabilization attempts were administered, which included intravenous fluids, pain management, and proton pump inhibitors. Despite aggressive medical intervention, his condition rapidly deteriorated, and he succumbed within 18 hours. Autopsy findings revealed extensive esophageal charring, gastric perforation, and severe tissue necrosis, indicative of widespread corrosive damage.Discussion: Accidental ingestion of corrosive acids, particularly among children, remains a serious public health concern. Studies indicate that nearly 80% of such cases involve children, with most incidents occurring at home due to poorly stored household cleaners or industrial chemicals. Unlike adults, where acid ingestion is often intentional and more severe, pediatric cases are accidental but still carry significant risks. Even small amounts of corrosive substances can lead to damaging effects, including gastrointestinal burns, perforation, hemorrhage, infection, sepsis, and death. Immediate endoscopic evaluation is crucial for assessing damage.Conclusion: This tragic case underscores the urgent need for stronger preventive measures. Implementing stringent regulations, increasing caregiver awareness, promoting childproof storage solutions, and enforcing proper labeling of hazardous substances can significantly reduce such incidents and protect children from life-threatening injuries.]]></abstract>
