    Prazosin treatment in the management of scorpion envenomation
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2010) Peker, Erdal; Oktar, Suleyman; Dogan, Murat; Kaya, Ergun; Duru, Mehmet
    Scorpion stings represent an important and serious public health problem worldwide due to their high incidence and potentially severe and often fatal clinical manifestations. Children are at greater risk of developing severe cardiac, respiratory, and neurological complications due to lesser body surface area. Alpha receptor stimulation plays important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary edema. Prazosin, a post synaptic alpha blocker, can be recommended as an effective drug in the treatment of serious scorpion envenomations with significant sympathetic symptoms. Oral prazosin is fast acting, easily available, relatively cheap, free from any anaphylaxis and highly effective.

    Snake Bites in the Winter Season: A Case Report
    (Istanbul Training & Research Hospital, 2013) Karakus, Ali; Duru, Mehmet; Kuvandik, Guven; Kaya, Ergun; Kekec, Zeynep
    The increase in the Earth's temperature due to the inctrease in the amount of gases (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, water vapor, and chlorofluorocarbons) released into the atmosphere by humans is defined as global warming. Therefore, temperature increases in Winter, migration periods and climates change and thus species of fauna and animals which cannot tolerate such changes decrease. Life cycles of cold-blooded animals such as snakes living in warm areas vary. Cases of snake bites are frequently observed in the south and south-east of Turkey, especially in Summer. Therefore, we aimed to present a case which is not encountered in the literature except during Summer.
