#3.Answer needed quickly reponse..
After discussing his case with his physician, he learned that he had probably been the victim of pufferfish poisoning. The active toxin in the tissues of this fish is a chemical called tetrodotoxin (TTX). Tetrodotoxin is in a class of chemicals known as neurotoxins because it exerts its effects on neurons. The specific action of tetrodotoxin is that it blocks voltage-gated sodium ion channels.
Define the following phrases and terms associated with the signs and symptoms of Dr. Westwood’s TTX poisoning:
diaphoresis
motor dysfunction
paresthesias
cyanotic
hypoventilating
bradycardia
gastric lavage
oxygen saturation
As mentioned in the case description, tetrodotoxin is a molecule that blocks voltage-gated sodium ion channels. What is a voltage-gated sodium ion channel and what is its function?.
Q5. What drug interactions can lead to serotonin syndrome?.
