The report illustrates four cases of mild ciguatera poisoning caused by fish (barracuda) ingestion. Clinical findings were consistent with ciguatoxin's mechanism of toxicity, which involves alterations in voltage-gated sodium channels and increase in nerve membrane excitability.

Abstract

The report illustrates four cases of mild ciguatera poisoning caused by fish (barracuda) ingestion. Clinical findings were consistent with ciguatoxin's mechanism of toxicity, which involves alterations in voltage-gated sodium channels and increase in nerve membrane excitability.

Medical Research, Diagnosis & Treatment contains studies of existing and developing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as specific classes of clinical intervention. Resources in this category emphasize the difference between normal and disease states, with the ultimate goal of more effective diagnosis and intervention. Specific areas of interest include pathology and histochemical analysis of tissue, clinical chemistry and biochemical analysis of medical samples, diagnostic imaging, radiology and radiation, surgical research, anesthesiology and anesthesia, transplantation, artificial tissues, and medical implants. Resources focused on the disease, diagnosis, and treatment of specific organs or physiological systems are excluded and are covered in the Medical Research: Organs & Systems category.
