AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Utilizing a sensitive and specific gas chromatography nitrogen detector (GC2-N) method we have demonstrated phencyclidine (PCP) in the blood of a 65-year-old widowed Mexican-American woman who lived in a second floor apartment directly over an illegal laboratory utilizing open-vat methods of PCP synthesis. This is the first proof of such incidental PCP intoxication, although police officers regularly complain of developing symptoms of intoxication after raiding such clandestine laboratories and handling the confiscated products. The presumed mechanism of incidental intoxication with PCP and the psychiatric manifestations of this patient are described and discussed.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is infrequently encountered in the adult population, with major risk factors including advancing age, intoxication, and disorders of the central nervous system. Here, we present a case of FBA in an adult undergoing routine lung cancer screening to review imaging findings and highlight potential pitfalls for the practicing radiologist. A low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) scan was performed for lung cancer screening in a 57-year-old male with a one-month history of worsening dyspnea and cough.
