Article Synopsis
  • Hypothermia can be a serious condition caused by various factors, including the use of certain medications like antipsychotics, which may lead to decreased body temperature 7-10 days after dosage changes.
  • A case study involves a 68-year-old man with multiple health issues, who showed persistent hypothermia even after external warming efforts but improved after switching from risperidone to aripiprazole.
  • It's important for healthcare providers to monitor patients on antipsychotics for hypothermia symptoms and check their vital signs regularly for early identification and treatment.

Characteristics of indoor and outdoor fatal hypothermia cases in Chiba, Japan.

Leg Med (Tokyo)

November 2024

Department of Legal Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba 260-8670, Japan; Department of Forensic Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan.

In forensic medicine, hypothermia is a frequently encountered cause of death, and this characteristic provides public health information to prevent similar deaths in the future. Previous studies revealed regional differences in hypothermia occurrence (indoors or outdoors). However, to our knowledge, no recent studies in Japan have directly compared the characteristics of indoor- and outdoor-onset cases based on forensic autopsy reports.

The impact of piperazine and antipsychotic co-exposures and CB1 blockade on the effects elicited by AMB-FUBINACA, a synthetic cannabinoid, in mice.

Eur J Pharmacol

September 2024

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the dangers of the synthetic cannabinoid AMB-FUBINACA, which is linked to severe health risks and fatalities, especially when combined with other drugs like pFPP and risperidone.
  • Experiments on mice showed that AMB-FUB leads to harmful effects like hypothermia and convulsions, with the combination of AMB-FUB and pFPP worsening these effects; however, risperidone mitigated the convulsions in female mice.
  • Understanding the mechanisms behind AMB-FUB toxicity is crucial for developing effective treatments for overdoses and protecting at-risk groups who abuse synthetic cannabinoids.
