Abstract:
We describe a case of multiple Zargar grade IIA ulcerations of the oral mucosa with no systemic toxicity in a patient after ingestion of an organophosphate. Serial debridement, control of superadded infections, and active physiotherapy were the mainstay of the treatment plan. We know of no other reported cases of poisoning by organophosphates that caused burns of the oral mucosa and no systemic toxicity.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
First Order Systems
When a first-order system is subjected to a unit-step input, its response is characterized by its transfer function. By applying the Laplace transform of the unit-step input to the transfer function, expanding the...
