Benzonatate toxicity in a teenager resulting in coma, seizures, and severe metabolic acidosis.
J Pediatr Pharmacol Ther
July 2012
We report a benzonatate overdose in a teenager resulting in life-threatening toxicity to increase awareness of this overdose, and discuss recent pediatric warnings and labeling information provided by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). After an overdose of benzonatate, a 13-yr-old female presented to our emergency department with coma, seizures, hypotension, prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram, and metabolic acidosis. Benzonatate is an antitussive medication with sodium channel-blocking properties and local anesthetic effects on the respiratory stretch receptors due to a tetracaine-like metabolite.

- The study explored the properties of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) using various techniques, including Langmuir film properties and microscopy, to analyze their behavior in 2D monolayers at the air-water interface.
- By examining factors such as molar absorptivity and QD arrangement, the research determined how TOPO and ODT surfactants influence the QDs' packing and stability in monolayers.
- The findings indicate that manipulating nanoparticle size and other conditions can enhance QD self-assembly, allowing for successful transfer of these films to different solid substrates using the Langmuir-Blodgett method.
