Background: Monkshood, a toxic plant containing a potent cardio- and neurotoxin called aconitine, can lead to a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, seizures, and cardiac arrhythmias. Mortality associated with this intoxication are due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias which are difficult to treat and often refractory in nature.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 17-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department after intentionally ingesting a monkshood plant and developed atrioventricular dissociation and frequent ventricular ectopy.

The impact of solution stoichiometry on formation of BaSO (barite) crystals and the development of surface charge was investigated at various predefined stoichiometries ( = 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100, where = {Ba}:{SO}).

Feeding problems in children are usually harmless and common, but can rarely exist as a result of pathology. Heart failure is one of them and has to be recognized early because of its many consequences. We present a 15-week-old female infant who was seen at the outpatient clinic.

The impact of solution stoichiometry, upon formation of BaSO crystals in 0.02 M NaCl suspensions, on the development of particle size was investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS). Measurements were performed on a set of suspensions prepared with predefined initial supersaturation, based on the quotient of the constituent ion activity product {Ba}{SO } over the solubility product (Ω = {Ba}{SO }/ = 100, 500, or 1000-11,000 in steps of 1000), and ion activity solution stoichiometries ( = {Ba}:{SO } = 0.
