Paediatric opioid poisoning in the UK: a retrospective analysis of clinical enquiries to the National Poisons Information Service.

Objective: To evaluate a decade of reported paediatric opioid poisoning cases in the UK.

Methods: The National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) telephone enquiries database (UK Poisons Information Database) was searched for calls regarding opioid poisoning in children under 18 years from 2012 to 2021. The NPIS online clinical guidance database TOXBASE was searched for accesses relating to opioids for both adults and children.

The posterior auricular muscle complex graft as a porous orbital implant wrap: long-term follow-up over a 31-year period.

Purpose: Orbital implant exposures, infections, and extrusions can occur many years following enucleation or evisceration. This study analyzes complication rates following porous orbital implant wrapped with a posterior auricular muscle complex graft (PAMCG).

Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent orbital implantation following enucleation using this technique between 1992 and 2013.

Multi-locus genome-wide association study of chickpea reference set identifies genetic determinants of resistance.

is an economically important species of root-lesion nematode adversely affecting chickpea () yields globally. Integration of resistant crops in farming systems is recognised as the most effective and sustainable management strategy for plant-parasitic nematodes. However, breeding for resistance in chickpea is limited by the lack of genetic diversity.

Comparison of Pterygium Recurrence Rates Between Attending Physicians and Supervised Trainee Residents.

Purpose: To compare the recurrence rates after pterygium surgery performed by supervised trainee residents and attending physicians.

Methods: This retrospective study included pterygium surgeries performed by trainee residents and attending physicians in an academic institution in South Texas in the years 2008 to 2019. All residents performed surgeries under direct supervision of an attending physician.

A QTL on the Ca7 chromosome of chickpea affects resistance to the root-lesion nematode .

Unlabelled: The root-lesion nematode Sher & Allen, 1953 is a damaging parasite of many crop plants, including the grain legume chickpea ( L.). Within cultivated chickpea, there are no known sources of strong resistance to , but some cultivars have partial resistance.

Transcriptome analysis reveals key genes associated with root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei resistance in chickpea.

The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus thornei, is one of the major plant-parasitic nematode species causing significant yield losses in chickpea (Cicer arietinum). In order to identify the underlying mechanisms of resistance to P. thornei, the transcriptomes of control and inoculated roots of three chickpea genotypes viz.

A Systematic Review of the Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Root-Lesion Nematodes, spp.

Root-lesion nematodes ( spp.) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) occupy the same ecological niche in the phytobiome of many agriculturally important crops. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can enhance the resistance or tolerance of a plant to and previous studies have been undertaken to investigate the relationship between these organisms.

Constitutive and Induced Expression of Total Phenol and Phenol Oxidases in Wheat Genotypes Ranging in Resistance/Susceptibility to the Root-Lesion Nematode .

Plant-derived phenolic compounds contribute to the defense against various pathogens, including root-lesion nematodes ( spp.). However, there are no reports on the role of phenolic compounds in wheat () against .

Resistance to Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Chickpea: Current Status and Future Perspectives.

Plant-parasitic nematodes constrain chickpea () production, with annual yield losses estimated to be 14% of total global production. Nematode species causing significant economic damage in chickpea include root-knot nematodes (, , and ), cyst nematode (, and root-lesion nematode (). Reduced functionality of roots from nematode infestation leads to water stress and nutrient deficiency, which in turn lead to poor plant growth and reduced yield.

Novel Sources of Resistance to Root-Lesion Nematode () in a New Collection of Wild Species ( and ) to Improve Resistance in Cultivated Chickpea ().

, a nematode species that feeds and reproduces in chickpea () roots, is widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin and Indian subcontinent. In Australia, it can cause yield losses up to approximately 25% of intolerant chickpea cultivars. Potential for improvement has been hindered by the narrow genetic diversity of cultivated chickpea and a limited world collection of original wild spp.

A review of 4652 exposures to liquid laundry detergent capsules reported to the United Kingdom National Poisons Information Service 2008-2018.

Liquid laundry detergent capsules contain concentrated liquid laundry detergent in a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol membrane. To review 4652 exposures reported to the United Kingdom National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) and to assess the impact of regulatory changes on potential toxicity. Telephone enquiries to the NPIS and returned questionnaires for these products were analyzed for the period January 2008 to December 2018.

Exposures to automatic dishwashing rinse aids reported to the United Kingdom National Poisons Information Service 2008-2016.

Objective: To determine the toxicity of rinse aids which are used as drying aids to remove water from crockery.

Methods: Enquiries to the UK National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) were analysed retrospectively for the period January 2008 to December 2016.

Results: There were 855 enquiries relating to 828 patients; children aged 5 years or less accounted for 91.

Reductions in emergency department visits after primary healthcare use of the UK National Poisons Information Service.

Background: Suspected poisoning is a common cause of hospital admission internationally. In the United Kingdom, the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS), a network of four poisons units, provides specialist advice to health professionals on the management of poisoning by telephone and via its online poisoning information and management database, TOXBASE.

Objective: To demonstrate the impact of NPIS telephone advice and TOXBASE guidance on poisoning-related referrals to emergency departments (ED) from primary healthcare settings.

Toxicity resulting from exposure to oven cleaners as reported to the UK National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) from 2009 to 2015.

Introduction: Oven cleaning products contain corrosive substances, typically sodium or potassium hydroxide.

Objective: To determine the reported toxicity from exposure to oven cleaning products.

Methods: Telephone enquiries to the UK National Poisons Information Service regarding oven cleaning products were analysed retrospectively for the period January 2009 to December 2015.
