Use of Stem Cell Therapy in COVID-19

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is known to cause the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in which many organs and systems such as the lung, heart, and immune system can be severely affected. Currently, the treatment process is generally based on supportive and palliative care. Some potential drugs are being tested for treatment. At this point, perhaps a promising treatment method for many diseases in the future seems to be stem cell therapy in recent times. Stem cell therapy in COVID-19 may be a treatment method that can play an important role, especially in resistant and severe cases. In this review, we summarized the potential mechanisms of stem cell therapy and developments in this treat ment modality

Datura Stramonium Intoxication Resulting Anticholinergic Syndrome: Two Case Reports

Boru çiçeği veya melek trompeti adıyla da bilinen Datura stramonium, çok sayıda alkaloid içeren belladonna ailesine ait toksik bir bitkidir. Datura stramonium bitkisinin tüm bölümleri, deliriantlar veya antikolinerjikler olarak sınıflandırılan atropin, hiyasiyomin ve skopolamin gibi tehlikeli seviyelerde tropan alkaloidleri içerir. Yüksek miktarda datura stramonium alımının zehirlenmeye neden olabileceği, genelde delirium (halüsinasyona karşıt olarak), hipertermi, taşikardi, tuhaf davranış ve ciddi midriyazisle sonuçlanarak birkaç gün sürecek ağrılı fotofobi ortaya çıkabilir. Semptomların başlangıcı genellikle, bitkiyi aldıktan yaklaşık 30 ila 60 dakika sonra gerçekleşir. Bu semptomlar genellikle 24 ila 48 saat arasında sonlanır, ancak bazı vakalarda iki haftaya kadar sürdüğü bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda, ağız kuruluğu, öforik semptomlar, görsel halusinasyonlar ve oryantasyon bozukluğu ile acil servise getirilen 6 ve 8 yaşlarındaki kardeşlerin datura stramonium ile zehirlenmesini bildirmekteyiz.Datura stramonium, also known as pipe flower or angel's trumpet, is a toxic plant member of the belladonna family containing several alkaloids. All parts of Datura plants contain tropane alkaloids at dangerous levels, such as atropine, hyaline and scopolamine, classified as deliriums or anticholinergics. High amounts of datura stramonium ingestion may result in painful photophobia, which can lead to poisoning, usually lasting several days, resulting in delirium (as opposed to hallucinations), hyperthermia, tachycardia, strange behavior and severe mydriasis. The onset of symptoms is usually about 30 to 60 minutes after taking the plant. These symptoms usually end between 24 and 48 hours, but have been reported to last up to two weeks in some cases. In this article, we report the poisoning of 6 to 8 year old siblings with datura stramonium, who were brought to the emergency service with dry mouth, euphoric symptoms, visual hallucinations and disorientation
