Blunt. Violence is a worldwide phenomenon resulting in 1.6 million deaths per year, making it one of the top causes of mortality worldwide. Physical, sexual, psychological, and negligence are the most common forms of violence. The newly identified coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is a new pandemic global health crisis caused by a newly identified coronavirus (WHO) which began in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 led to enormous and devastating changes in the daily lives of millions around the world. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the violence pattern among people in the Menoufia governorate, Egypt. The number of patients that arrived at the forensic medicine department during the pre-COVID-19 study period was 275; the male gender represented 60.7% of them. During the COVID pandemic, 304 individuals visited the forensic medicine department for the primary medico-legal reports, with 74.3 percent being males. Most of the patients in both groups (pre-COVID and COVID), came from rural areas. Blunt instruments were the most frequently used instruments in violence in both pre and post-COVID groups (86.5% and 85.9%, respectively). Quarrels were the most common cause of violence. Simple wounds were the most common. The overall incidence of violence has increased during COVID-19. The majority of patients were male, middle-aged, and young adults who lived in rural areas. Quarrels were the most common violent etiology during COVID-19; blunt instruments were the most commonly used instruments.

. ABSTRACT The present study was performed to determine the possible protective effects of erdosteine and exogenous reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) against cardiotoxicity produced by aluminium phosphide (AlP) via measurement of serum cardiac markers and assessment of cardiomyocyte viability and apoptosis by flow cytometry analysis. Fifty-four adult albino rats were divided into seven groups as follows; four control groups (negative control, solvent control, erdosteine control, NADPH control), AlP group (12 mg/kg) orally, AlP + erdosteine (150 mg/kg) orally, AlP + NADPH (16 mg/kg) intravenously. After 8 hours, blood samples were collected from the retro-orbital plexus for analysis of serum cardiac markers, and then the chest and abdomen were carefully incised to remove the hearts for flow cytometry analysis and histopathological examination. Results revealed that AlP poisoning caused an increase in serum cardiac markers (LDH, cTnI) with a marked decrease in the viability of cardiac myocytes and a marked increase in the percent of apoptotic cardiac myocytes. Co-administration of erdosteine with AlP slightly improved serum cardiac markers and cardiomyocyte viability with a slight decrease in the percent of apoptosis. Co-administration of NADPH with AlP showed marked improvement in serum cardiac markers, a marked increase in myocardial cell viability, and a marked decrease in the percent of apoptotic myocytes. These findings were confirmed by histopathological examination of heart tissues from each group.

Aluminum phosphide toxicity (ALP) “Wheat pill”; Antidote; Intralipid emulsion (ILE); Survival time; Mortality rate. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) as a putative antidote on the survival time of ALP intoxicated patients and whether it ameliorates the clinical outcome or not. The present clinical study was conducted in Mansoura Emergency Hospital, and it involves patients presented with acute aluminum phosphide poisoning (ALP). Sociodemographic and full clinical examination was documented. Patients received either the standard therapy or standard therapy plus ILE. Over five years, a total of 87 acutely intoxicated patients were analyzed of which (56 were females (64.4%), and 31 were males (35.6%). The mean age was 28.23±9.69 years. The mortality rate for ALP poisoning was 67.8%. Despite the poor outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following ALP toxicity, the survival time among patients who received ILE was significantly longer compared to the group of patients who received only standard therapy, in which 7.3% versus 30.4% survived 6-24 hours, 34.1% versus 21.7% survived 25-48 hours while 36.6% versus 6.5% survived between 49–72 hours respectively with p-value=<0.001. From previous data, it can be concluded that the use of ILE as an antidote during resuscitative measures following ALP toxicity showed a slight improvement in terms of survival time, however, it doesn’t decrease the mortality rate. Further studies are imperative to prove the effectiveness of ILE as an antidote for ALP toxicity and whether it could be considered in the CPR measures of poisoning cases.
